3M™ Micro-Klean™ RB Series Filter Cartridge

For enhanced filter service life, particle removal efficiency and optimum flow characteristics use 3M™ Micro-Klean™ RB Series Filter Cartridge. Laboratory testing and field experience has shown that our filter cartridge holds up to two or more times the contaminant by weight than competitive products with equal retention ratings. We combine the principles of surface and depth filtration into the 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridge line to provide enhanced filter service life, particle removal efficiency and optimum flow characteristics. Standard series filter cartridges are available in this line in multiple lengths with or without various end treatments to fit most major manufacturer’s cartridge housings. Problem Consistent filtration throughout the service life of a depth-style filter depends on how well the filter’s structure tolerates fluctuations in operating conditions – including contaminant loading and differential pressure. Flexible structures, such as meltblown and string-wound filters, tend to compress and change porosity with increased pressure, while rigid structures like ours do not. Media compression can result in short filter life because the pores collapse and ultimately close. Media compression can also cause the filter to release already held particles. Solution 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridge captures and retains contaminant within its rigid filter matrix, even under increasing differential pressure. In addition, the unique depth filter structure of the filter cartridge provides a significant increase in contaminant holding capacity and provides greater flow capacity at a given pressure. Unlike soft meltblown and string-wound filters that require core support, 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridge is self-supporting and has a grooved version to provide greater than twice the surface area. The ungrooved version is preferred for the reduction of gels and other deformable contaminants. The result is significantly longer life than competitive cartridges. Results 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridge’s extended service life results in fewer filter changes while its enhanced flow characteristics can typically reduce the number of filters required to achieve a given flow rate. These combined features can significantly reduce total filtration costs. Applications include: Paints Inks Emulsions Adhesives Resins Organic Solvents Coolants Lube Oils Various Chemicals Pesticides Fertilisers Process Water General Manufacture Processes 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridges are not designed for and should not be used in food and beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Manufacturing process, rigid, resin bonded construction and graded porosity design of our 3M Micro-Klean RB Series Filter Cartridges provides consistency of performance, long filter life and lower overall filtration costs.
