Our absolute-rated Betafine™ XL Filter Cartridge Series is made of a 100% polypropylene pleated filter featuring Advanced Pleat Technology (APT). This product is appropriate for use in a wide range of applications, including: food and beverage, industrial and electronics. The Betafine™ XL series filter cartridge features 100% polypropylene construction that provides chemical and thermal compatibility in many demanding process fluid applications. The filter media is constructed from continuous micro-fibers that provide a uniform matrix. There are nine distinct absolute-rated filter grades, beginning at 70 microns, ranging to the very fine 0.2 micron rating. Our Betafine XL filters are absolute-rated to Beta 1000 (99.9% efficiency at each respective rating). Additionally, filters come in a range of integral lengths from 9 ¾ to 40 inches with a wide selection of end treatments to fit common filter housing designs.

The service life of a pleated cartridge is often dictated by the accessible surface area. Conventional pleated filters may offer a large gross surface area, but when the media is packed too tightly into the cartridge, only part of the surface area is usable resulting in both flow restrictions and limited contaminant holding capacity. The "blind" or unusable area commonly occurs near the inside diameter where the pleats are packed most tightly. The Betafine XL series filter cartridge is manufactured using a staggered pleat configuration that, when combined with a novel support material, provides more open space between the pleats.
