Flow-Max Filters For EDM Filtration

Flow-Max cartridges are pleated for increased filter area, high flow and low pressure drop. The filter media is highly efficient to provide superior filtration. All micro ratings utilize 100% sunthetic filter media, so there are no additives or binders to foam or contaminate. Jumbo cartridges are available in a wide range of micron ratings, packages one per carton. Flow-Max cartridges fit and seal properly in Ebbco filter housings.

 

Comparative Data
Specification Flow-Max Major Competitive EDM Cartridge
Filter media 100 % synthetic (no cellulose) Polyester plus celluse (paper)
Binders, additives No binders or additives to contaminate Uses binders and additives
Foam Will not foam (no binders) History, associated with foaming
Stability Highly stable (no cellulose content) Less stable due to cellulose content
Dirt holding capacity

More open void area to entrap and hold particles for longer filter life

Rigid filter material has less voids so surface of the media "blinds off" easily

Thickness

Up to 69% thicker to provide "depth filtration" and greater throughput.

Most grades are only 13 mils thick so filtration is performed on the media's surface only.
