Ultipleat® High Flow Filter Elements with Profile® UP Media

Particle Removal at Elevated Flow Rates

Ultipleat High Flow filter elements are designed for high particle removal efficiency in high flow rate food and beverage applications. The Ultipleat High Flow filter elements utilize Profile UP media with unique, laid-over pleat geometry. The Ultipleat High Flow element is a large diameter, single open ended, pleated cartridge with an inside to outside flow pattern and a core-free construction.

The filter’s unique, laid-over pleat geometry, combined with its large diameter, means fewer elements are required for a given flow rate than standard cartridges diameter. Filter vessels are correspondingly smaller, resulting in lower capital and installation costs, as well as reduced operating costs. 

Features	Benefits
Fixed fiber matrix with no adhesives or surfactants	Consistent filtrate quality Highly stable structure Higher product yields Process reliability
Pleated (laid-over pleat geometry) media in a large diameter cartridge format	Lower capital and installation costs* Reduced installation footprint* 30% lower operating costs* Longer service life 10% water savings*
Inside to outside flow configuration	Protects filtrate from recontamination by trapping particulates inside the cartridge

*Typical compared to standard cartridges used in test comparison.

Recommended for fluid applications with inside to out flow rates of >20 m³/h (100 USgpm). Outside to in flow is not recommended.

Please contact your Pall representative for product recommendations more suitable to lower flow rates.
