Polymer melt is always high viscosity fluid under high temperature and high pressure, and the filtration rating will be 5 microns or less. The stainless steel pleated mesh sintered metal fiber filter cartridge is with excellent resistance to high temperature and pressure condition and can be easily cleaned by automatic backwash / backflush or other chemical and mechanical cleaning methods. The pleated structure ensures high filtration area in compact size, thus reduces the differential pressure and flux rate. Pleated filter cartridge is suitable for large area polymer melt filter, candle filter extruder screen changer and other applications need large filtration area and high flow rate.

Polymer products such as synthetic fiber, film and plastic are with a wide range of materials for versatile applications. The key process of most polymer industry is the polymer melting before formation. The micro contamination, foreign object and other impurity in the melt liquid can affect the production process, the processing equipment and the characteristics and quality of the end product. Thus the polymer filters and filtration for the melt liquid to ensure clean and pure polymer melt is the prerequisite for subsequent processing. Regarding the recycling of polymer waste, filtration is also an essential process.
