PARMAX™
Large-diameter high flow elements
The best of pleated and large diameter technologies are combined in Parker's ParMax high flow filter cartridges. ParMax cartridges are available with polypropylene and microfiberglass media in absolute (99.98%) ratings from 1ľ to 90 micron. The unique layered construction provides excellent retention across a wide range of flux rates. One-six inch diameter cartridge can handle up to 500gpm flow (60" length). The inside-to-outside flow allows for a high contaminant holding capacity. High flow and long filter life make the ParMax an ideal choice for a wide variety of critical process applications.

POLYFLOWŽ
Pleated polypropylene absolute-rated depth cartridges with superior dirt holding capacity
Polyflow's random fiber polypropylene depth media provides long on-stream life and high retention efficiencies. While many polypropylene depth media are nominally rated and cannot meet their actual claimed retention efficiency, Polyflow is engineered to meet exacting performance claims.

Parker's innovative research team developed an exclusive calendering process that produces media with unsurpassed dirt loading capacity. Before each lot of media is fabricated, the best calendering conditions are determined to ensure minimal lot-to-lot variability and peak product performance. The number of pleats for each filter rating has also been optimized to ensure maximum dirt loading capacity and on-stream life. Polyflow is thermally bonded from 100% virgin polypropylene to ensure superior cleanliness and excellent chemical and thermal compatibility under harsh processing conditions.

POLYFLOWŽ-G
All polypropylene nominally rated depth cartridges for economical prefiltration
Polyflow-G depth media has been developed for a wide variety of general process applications from fluid clarification to general prefiltration. Its high dirt loading, random fiber polypropylene depth media provides consistent particle retention. Polyflow-G is thermally bonded from 100% virgin polypropylene to ensure clean filtrates and excellent chemical and thermal compatibility in the most demanding processing conditions.

Polyflow-G leads in overall reduction of filtration costs when compared to spunbonded, string wound, and nominally rated pleated prefilter cartridges. Its longer filtration life reduces downtime due to fewer changeouts.

POLYFLOWŽ MINI-CAPSULES
Encapsulated filters with polypropylene matrix for small-volume prefiltration applications
Polyflow capsules feature a random fiber polypropylene depth matrix that provides superior retention efficiencies. In addition, the unique calendering process produces depth media with unsurpassed dirt holding capacity that extends filter service life. Longer life leads to increased savings by requiring fewer filter changeouts.

Polyflow capsules are available in three sizes, enabling users to match the filters to actual batch sizes and minimize system hold-up volume. Cost savings results from the reduction of lost product, and by scaling the process properly to avoid excess filter capacity.

The encapsulated design maximizes design maximizes efficiency by providing faster, easier changeout without laborious cleaning procedures. Eliminating the need to open reusable housings for cartridge replacement minimizes the chance of introducing contamination into the process.

POLYFLOWŽ MINI-CARTRIDGES
Small-volume filters with polypropylene depth matrix for prefiltration applications
Polyflow mini-cartridges feature a random fiber polypropylene depth matrix that provides superior retention efficiencies. In addition, the unique calendering process produces depth media with unsurpassed dirt holding capacity extending service life. Longer product life results in increased savings by requiring fewer filter changeouts.

Polyflow mini-cartridges match popular batch sizes and minimize hold-up volumel Cost savings result from reduction of lost product and buscaling the process properly to avoid wasting excess filter capacity.
