High Dirt-Holding Depth Filtration Media
Glass Fiber Pleated Filter Cartridges by Micron Rating, Size and End Cap
INCE filtration manufactures glass fiber pleated filter cartridges for high-contaminant-load liquid filtration, pre-filtration and process protection. The multilayer glass fiber media combines depth interception with a large pleated surface area, helping deliver high dirt holding capacity, stable particle removal and lower pressure drop before downstream membrane or final filters.

Glass Fiber Pleated Filter Cartridge Features
Glass fiber media is selected where the filtration system must handle higher solids loading, protect finer downstream filters and maintain stable flow over a longer operating cycle.
High Dirt Holding Capacity
The multilayer fiber structure captures contaminants through the media depth and accommodates a larger particle load before change-out.
Large Pleated Filtration Area
The pleated geometry increases usable surface area, supporting higher flow and lower face velocity in a compact cartridge.
Stable Pre-Filtration Performance
Glass fiber cartridges reduce the contaminant load reaching final membrane filters, helping extend downstream service life.
Low Initial Pressure Drop
Open fiber pathways support efficient liquid flow while retaining suspended particles.
Broad Micron Range
Fine and coarse grades support polishing, general process filtration and high-flow pre-filtration.
Strong Support Options
PP or stainless steel cores and reinforced cages can be selected for demanding operating conditions.
Why Choose Glass Fiber Media?
Glass fiber combines depth filtration with pleated surface area, making it especially useful for pre-filtration and liquids with a higher concentration of suspended solids.
Depth Particle Capture
Particles are retained throughout the thickness of the glass fiber media rather than only on the outer surface.
Depth FiltrationHigh Solids Loading
Protection Before Final Filters
Glass fiber cartridges are frequently installed upstream of PES, PTFE or other membrane cartridges to reduce premature blocking.
Membrane ProtectionLonger Final-Filter Life
Fine to Coarse Grades
The media can be configured for fine polishing or larger-particle pre-filtration according to process requirements.

Pure Water Flow Rate Trend
Finer glass fiber grades produce higher pressure drop, while coarse grades provide lower resistance and higher flow for pre-filtration.

This chart is an illustrative selection guide. Actual pressure drop depends on cartridge length, pleat area, media density, liquid viscosity, temperature, contaminant loading, housing and operating flow.
