PP Melt Blown Filter Cartridge 20 Micron 40 Inch: High Flow Depth Filter For High Turbidity Raw Water Pretreatment
Introduction:If you are looking for high-flow and anti-clogging PP Melt Blown Filter Cartridge 20 Micron 40 Inch for high turbidity raw water, river water, well water and industrial circulating water pretreatment, this 20μm gradient depth filter is the ideal first-stage filtration solution. Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene via one-step melt-blown molding without any adhesive, it features a natural outer-loose-inner-dense gradient structure. It efficiently intercepts large sediment, rust scale, coarse suspended solids and flocculent impurities, effectively reducing water turbidity and protecting downstream 10μm/5μm/1μm fine filters and RO membrane systems. With ultra-low pressure drop, outstanding dirt holding capacity and low cost performance, this disposable filter cartridge is widely used in water plants, mining industry, power plants, construction water treatment and general industrial coarse filtration projects.

Product Overview
PP Melt Blown Filter Cartridge 20 Micron 40 Inch is a high-flow coarse-grade depth filter specially designed for high-turbidity raw water conditions. Adopting advanced melt-blown integral forming technology, pure polypropylene raw materials are melted and spun into continuous fiber layers, achieving binder-free and pollution-free filtration. The unique gradient pore structure enables outer fiber layers to trap large coarse impurities, while inner dense fibers intercept fine particles above 20μm, realizing full three-dimensional depth filtration. Standard 40-inch industrial size, 60mm outer diameter and 30mm inner diameter ensure full compatibility with all mainstream 40-inch filter housings for fast on-site replacement. Compared with fine-grade melt-blown filters, the 20μm model features larger pore size, higher flow rate and stronger anti-clogging performance, perfectly solving the problem of easy blockage when filtering high-turbidity raw water.
Working Principle
This 20 micron PP melt-blown filter follows the outside-in gradient depth filtration principle. When high-turbidity industrial raw water flows through the multi-layer melt-blown fiber matrix, coarse sediment, rust debris and large flocs are trapped by the loose outer fiber layers. Medium suspended particles are intercepted in the middle transition layer, and fine impurities larger than 20μm are deeply captured by the dense inner fiber layer. Different from traditional surface filtration, pollutants are evenly stored inside the entire filter body, maximizing dirt holding capacity and greatly extending the service cycle. The integrated self-supporting fiber structure maintains stable shape under long-term high-flow operation and pressure fluctuation, ensuring continuous and stable coarse filtration performance.

Core Advantages

1. Strong anti-clogging performance:
Optimized 20μm large pore structure adapts to high-turbidity raw water with massive sediments, avoiding frequent replacement and reducing maintenance frequency.
2. Ultra-high flow throughput:
Low-resistance fiber structure ensures smooth liquid passage, greatly improving system water yield and reducing pump operating load.
3. Large depth dirt holding capacity:
Multi-layer gradient fiber design stores pollutants inside the filter body, effectively extending service life compared with ordinary single-layer filters.
4. Pure pollution-free material:
Binder-free one-step molding process with 100% virgin PP, no organic leaching, safe for drinking water and industrial fluid treatment.
5. Excellent chemical stability:
Resists weak acid, weak alkali and neutral aqueous liquids, suitable for most harsh industrial coarse filtration working conditions.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between 20μm and 10μm melt blown filters?
A1: The 20μm filter has larger pores, higher flow rate and better anti-clogging ability, specially used for high-turbidity raw water coarse filtration. The 10μm model is for conventional standard pre-filtration with higher precision requirements.
Q2: Can this 20μm melt blown filter be reused?
A2: It is a disposable depth filter. Internal fiber pores are easily blocked by sediments and colloids, and cleaning cannot restore the original filtration performance, so repeated use is not recommended.
Q3: Is it suitable for 24-hour continuous operation?
A3: Yes. With ultra-low pressure drop and stable fiber structure, it fully supports long-term uninterrupted operation of large-flow industrial water treatment systems.
Q4: Are customized sizes available?
A4: Yes, 10/20/30/40 inch full sizes and special micron grades can be customized for bulk project orders.
