PP sediment filter is generally made of polypropylene, polyester, cellulose, ceramic, glass fiber, cotton, and wound string. Below are two basic kinds:
1. Pleated Sediment Filter
Pleated sediment filters that capture particles on their surface.
It has more surface area and needs to be replaced when the surface is filed.
Some high-quality pleated sediment filter can be washed and reused.
5 micron pleated sediment filter can trap 85% of particles that are 5 micron or larger.
2. Wound string spun, melt blown
They capture larger size particles on the surface and also smaller particles under the surface to the center core.
5 micron spun filter can trap 99.9% of particles that are 5 microns or larger.
Therefore compare pleated sediment filters, they are in-depth filtration and replace more frequently.
