Pleated filters are made of layers of microfibers that make up a fine or thick pleat. In them, the largest particles tend to settle on the surface of the filter material, while the finest ones settle in the filter matrix. They also have a larger surface where the retention process of undesirable particles occurs thanks to multiple layers that are obtained by the folds of the filter material. There are two retention principles of pleated filters: first, mechanical entrapment, where the sediment particles hit the fibers of the filtering element and remain detained, and second, absorption, where a physical and chemical phenomenon occurs where the particles are attracted to the interior of the microfiber.
Los principios de retención de los filtros plisados son dos, primero el de atrapamiento mecánico, en donde las partículas de sedimentos impactan con las fibras del elemento filtrante y quedan detenidas, y segundo, el de absorción en donde ocurre un fenómeno físico y químico donde las partículas son atraídas hacia el interior de la microfibra.
These manual valves for filters are used for different types of applications and areas, such as filtration in swimming pools, reverse osmosis pretreatment, and wastewater treatment.
Water softening valves are manually or automatically operated valves for use in water purification systems.
Anthracite is an excellent filter medium for clarifying water for drinking or industrial use.
