The Difference Between Pleated Water Filter Element And Wound Water Filter Element.

Mar 15, 2025

Regarding water filter cartridges, there are two manufacturing processes: folding and winding. Users can select appropriate water filter cartridge products based on factors such as size, micron rating, and materials.

 

Folded Filter Cartridge​

The folded filter cartridge employs various materials like polypropylene as the filtration medium. Through the folding technique, its filtration area is expanded. It has a filtration accuracy ranging from 0.1 - 60 μm, enabling it to precisely capture minute impurities with an interception rate exceeding 90%.​

 

Materials: Polypropylene, hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene, hydrophilic polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.

Applications: Industries with high water quality requirements such as reverse osmosis water systems, deionized water, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Wound Filter Cartridge​

The wound filter cartridge is made by winding fibers such as polypropylene filaments around a framework, presenting a structure that is loose on the outside and dense on the inside. Generally, its filtration accuracy is between 1 - 100 μm, effectively filtering out large particles such as suspended solids and rust.

 

Materials: Absorbent cotton, polypropylene filaments, thread, glass fibers, etc.
Applications: Preliminary filtration in the electronics, petroleum and other industries.
