Sedifilt string-wound filter cartridges:New developments in filter media
• No media migration• No chemical leaching• True graded density• High dirt holding capacity• High bulk media
Better performance– Media with high bulk, stable, three-
dimensional random structure with multi-lobal cross section filaments.
– Captures more particles compared to conventional filters.
– Improved solid to void ratio gives higher flow rates with low pressure drop.

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media
• Media migration– Short fibers are not properly or fully locked into the main body.– Fibers tend to come loose and migrate into filtrate with flow of liquid
and pressure surges.– Loose fiber ends protruding from the surface can be seen clearly in
friction-spun yarn media.

![Page 20: 1 Superior filtration technology String-wound Filter Cartridges 01/2005 Revision 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f325503460f94c4e9d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media
• Media migration• Chemical leaching
– Spin-finish chemicals (lubricants, surfactants, antioxidants, antistatic agents, emulsifiers, bactericides, etc.) leach out.
– Evident as foaming in filtrate.– Washed media is never 100% ‘clean’.

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media
• Media migration• Chemical leaching• Particle unloading
– Round cross-section media have unstable structure.– Under conditions of flow and pressure surges, unstable round yarns
shift, giving rise to ‘tunneling’ effect and particle unloading.
Unstable structure of conventional cartridge of friction-spun yarn allows a paper clip to be pushed through the media.

Conventional string-wound filter cartridges:Problems with conventional media
• Media migration• Chemical leaching• Particle unloading• Poor knife-edge
sealing– Unstable edges cause
seal by-pass problems.

Comparison of surface and depth filtration
• Direct interception• Particles larger in size than the
pores deposit on surface of media
• Numerous tortuous flow passages
• Direct interception and dirt retention within depth of media
• Complex mixture of mechanisms
