Sedifilt string-wound filter cartridges:New developments in filter media

• No media migration– Yarn consists of continuous filaments.– No short fibers to come loose and migrate.

Sedifilt string-wound filter cartridges:New developments in filter media

• No media migration• No chemical leaching• True graded density

– New winding technology.– Continuously controlled pitch, number of

crossings and space between each strandof yarn.

– Denser winding in inner layers,coarser winding in outer layers.

– Consistent winding tension.high structural integrity,more consistent performance.

Sedifilt string-wound filter cartridges:New developments in filter media

• No media migration• No chemical leaching• True graded density• High dirt holding capacity• High bulk media

Better performance– Media with high bulk, stable, three-

dimensional random structure with multi-lobal cross section filaments.

– Captures more particles compared to conventional filters.

– Improved solid to void ratio gives higher flow rates with low pressure drop.

Sedifilt string-wound filter cartridges:Economic benefits of Sedifilt

• Increased filtration capacity– Higher dirt holding capacity

• Longer lifetime– Fewer change outs

• Reduced costs– Less labour requirement

– Less equipment downtime

– Lower inventory levels

Conventional media cross-section

• Round cross-section• Fewer micro-voids• Lower dirt holding capacity• Higher resistance to flow

Comparison with conventional media:Conventional media vs. Sedifilt media

• Sedifilt media has a higher void to solid ratio, giving higher flow rates, improved dirt holding capacity, and lower pressure drop.

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media

• Media migration– Short fibers are not properly or fully locked into the main body.– Fibers tend to come loose and migrate into filtrate with flow of liquid

and pressure surges.– Loose fiber ends protruding from the surface can be seen clearly in

friction-spun yarn media.

Friction-spun yarn media

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media

• Media migration• Chemical leaching

– Spin-finish chemicals (lubricants, surfactants, antioxidants, antistatic agents, emulsifiers, bactericides, etc.) leach out.

– Evident as foaming in filtrate.– Washed media is never 100% ‘clean’.

Friction-spun yarn media

Page 21: 1 Superior filtration technology String-wound Filter Cartridges.

21

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media

• Media migration• Chemical leaching• Particle unloading

– Round cross-section media have unstable structure.– Under conditions of flow and pressure surges, unstable round yarns

shift, giving rise to ‘tunneling’ effect and particle unloading.

Unstable structure of conventional cartridge of friction-spun yarn allows a paper clip to be pushed through the media.

Page 22: 1 Superior filtration technology String-wound Filter Cartridges.

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media

• Media migration• Chemical leaching• Particle unloading• Poor knife-edge

sealing– Unstable edges cause

seal by-pass problems.

Conventional melt-blown cartridges:Melt-blown media

Only Advantage: • Freedom from process

chemicals

Disadvantages:• Tendency to collapse

under moderate pressure differential

• Requires supporting core

• Very poor knife- edge sealing

• Particle unloading

Resin-bonded filter cartridges:Resin-bonded media

Disadvantages:• Higher cost• Limited chemical

compatibility• Bonding agent

compatibility problems• Poor density grading• Lower dirt holding

capacity• Prone to media

migration – media crumbles easily

• Poor knife-edge sealing

Pleated paper cartridges:Pleated paper media

Only Advantage: • Absolute ratings are

possible

Disadvantages:• Consists of more than

one material• Weak strength of thin

paper media• Pleat pinch-off and

pleat collapse problems

Comparison of surface and depth filtration

• Direct interception• Particles larger in size than the

pores deposit on surface of media

• Numerous tortuous flow passages

• Direct interception and dirt retention within depth of media

• Complex mixture of mechanisms
