Product Introduction
This PFTM150-60-H13 equivalent high flow filter cartridge is a pleated bag filter replacement solution for industrial water filter systems, and can work together with high flow filter cartridge and self-cleaning filter to build multi-stage pretreatment workflow. Different from depth melt-blown PFNM series, this cartridge uses high-area pleated polypropylene filter media to maximize available filtration surface and achieve ultra-high flow capacity. This replacement cartridge fully matches the dimensions, SOE single open end structure and inside-to-outside flow design of PFTM150-60-H13. It features 60 inch (1524 mm) nominal length, 6 inch (152.4 mm) outer diameter, 15μm absolute filtration rating and EPDM O-ring seal. It can be installed into existing standard bag filter housings without modification, upgrading conventional bag filtration systems to high-efficiency pleated high flow filtration easily.
Working Principle

The PFTM150-60-H13 replacement cartridge uses inside-to-outside flow design with SOE single open end. Raw fluid enters the inner cavity from the top single opening, then passes radially outward through pleated polypropylene media under pressure difference. All trapped particulate contaminants are locked inside the filter cartridge. During cartridge replacement, pulling the whole element out brings all captured pollutants out together, avoiding dripping contamination to filter housing cavity and downstream pipelines. It adopts large-area pleated corrugated technology. By pleating plenty of PP membrane into a cylindrical shape, the effective filtration area is multiplied compared with flat or depth media in the same volume. This greatly reduces the initial resistance when fluid penetrates the filter media.

Core Advantages
1. Seamless Bag Filter System Upgrade
Designed for retrofitting standard bag filter housings. No metal housing or pipeline modification required. Directly replace traditional filter bags with high efficiency, long service life pleated high flow filter cartridge.
2. Ultra-large Filtration Area & Ultra-low Initial Differential Pressure
Benefiting from pleated construction, its effective filtration area far exceeds conventional filter bags. The 60-inch size supports extremely high single-element flow rate for water treatment. Low initial operating differential pressure reduces pumping energy consumption.
3. Long Service Life & Less Frequent Replacement
Combining large pleated surface area and 15 micron high-efficiency particle retention, it provides huge dirt holding capacity. The replacement cycle is significantly extended, cutting labor maintenance work and system shutdown frequency.
4. 100% PP Material & Outstanding Chemical Compatibility
Manufactured by pure polypropylene thermal bonding, free of adhesives or additives. It has strong chemical stability and is widely compatible with acids, alkalis and various industrial chemical media.
Application Scenarios
Pre-protection for industrial pure water, ultrafiltration and RO membrane systems: capture suspended solids above 15μm to protect expensive membrane elements.
Power plant & industrial circulating cooling water: condensate polishing, cooling tower water clarification, remove sediment, rust and biological flocs.
Chemical & petrochemical industry: clarification fine filtration of acid / alkali solutions, process water and organic & inorganic solvents to guarantee fluid purity.
Food, beverage and pharmaceutical prefiltration: clarification pre-treatment for process water, cleaning water and raw liquid materials.
