Product Description

Universal 10" Mesh Filter Cartridge - 100 µm

Reusable Sediment Filter – Superior Protection for Pumps and High-Pressure Hydraulic Networks

The professional-grade, universal 10-inch mesh filter cartridge with a 100-micron filtration accuracy is a highly reliable solution engineered for mechanical water purification in industrial, commercial, and domestic plumbing lines. This cartridge is purposefully designed to trap coarse sediment particles such as fine sand, silt, rust flakes, scale, and suspended solids. Within self-service car wash technology (such as BKF systems), this component serves as a critical primary pre-filter or safety screen. It effectively safeguards sensitive downstream components—including high-pressure plunger pumps (e.g., CAT, Hawk), solenoid valves, pressure regulators, and reverse osmosis membranes—from abrasive wear, blockages, and mechanical failures. The defining benefit of this mesh cartridge is its washable, reusable construction, which significantly drives down ongoing facility operating costs.

Key Technical Features and Functional Advantages:

• Washable and Reusable Media: Unlike single-use melt-blown polypropylene or string-wound cartridges, this mesh filter can be repeatedly regenerated. When flow performance drops, simply remove the cartridge from the housing and thoroughly rinse the accumulated debris under running water.
• Durable Nylon Mesh Matrix: The filtration medium consists of a dense, precisely woven nylon mesh wrapped around a rigid polymer structural support core. This core prevents physical deformation under heavy water pressure and guarantees a stable filtration threshold.
• Optimized 100-Micron Filtration Grid: A 100 µm rating is ideal for first-stage water treatment. It stops larger, destructive solids from passing through while keeping a completely clear flow path, preventing dramatic inline pressure drops across the main supply line.
• High Volumetric Flow Rate Capacity: The open-mesh design supports a high and steady water throughput (up to 30 l/min). This is a critical requirement for touchless car wash bays where a continuous, unhindered water supply directly governs equipment performance and uptime.
• Universal 10-Inch Industry Standard Fit: Designed to meet standard industry dimensions, this cartridge seamlessly fits into most 10" inline filter housings (Slim Line style) available on the market, making it an easy drop-in part for routine servicing or retrofits.

Primary Application Areas:

• Car Wash Inlet Water Treatment: Protecting high-pressure pump manifolds and water softening units from sand or scale flakes arriving from municipal water mains.
• Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pre-Filtration: Acting as a sediment shield to prevent carbon blocks and fragile membrane sheets from fouling prematurely.
• Domestic Well and Hydrophore Systems: Clarifying raw well water or boosting supply lines before the water enters residential appliances and sanitary fixtures.
