20″ x 2-1/2″ 4-Layer Sediment Melt-Blown Filter, 5 Micron

This is a 20″ x 2-1/2″ 4-layer sediment melt-blown filter in 5 micron that removes dirt, rust, and sediment. It can be paired with a whole house filtration system. Industry-standard size 20″ × 2.5″ sediment cartridge American Melt Blown’s 4-zone technology allows the larger particles to be trapped in the outermost layers. The innermost layer is where the true efficiency rating is achieved. 20″ x 2-1/2″ 4-Layer Sediment Melt-Blown Filter, 5 Micron Features & Benefits: Removal from 1 to 100 microns Quad Zone technology allows the formation of 4 separate filtration zones within the depth of the filter cartridge Continuous 4-zone structure provides effective pre-filtration and final filtration State-of-the-art computer-controlled manufacturing process delivers an extremely accurate and consistent product in each zone for proper fiber sizing High-strength polypropylene core maximizes flow and optimizes each of the 4 zones. If required, all Quad series may be ordered with cores 100% polypropylene construction allows a wide range of uses, including FDA-compliant material for food and beverage contact under CFR Title 21 All Quad Series cartridges are free of surfactants, binders, or adhesives of any kind Continuous lengths up to 72″ All End Configurations are available to fit most industry standards All end caps are thermal bonded, and no glues or adhesives are used This image shows the Quad Series cut away layer by layer. The outermost layers are made of larger diameter fibers to allow larger particles to flow through, while the innermost layers trap the fine particles, maximizing the filter’s life. Image A is a microscopic photo of the outer surface of a typical melt blown filter. Most competitors blind off the surface of the filter to create smaller openings to achieve higher efficiencies. American Melt Blown’s ability to control the inner layers’ efficiencies separately allow the Quad BE Series to have a more open outer surface as in Image B. Not having to sacrifice dirt holding capacity to achieve high efficiency is why the Quad BE Series is superior to other melt blown filters.
