Filter Cartridges

Bee Em Resin Bonded cartridges have a unique twostage filtration design to maximize particle removal and prolong service life in viscous fluid filtration applications. An outer prefilter wrap increases cartridge strength and eliminates residual debris associated with conventional, machined, resin bonded cartridges.

 

Bee Em Resin Bonded filters are available in eight nominal removal ratings of 2μm, 5μm, 10μm, 25μm, 50μm, 75μm, 125μm, and 150μm to meet a wide range of application requirements.

Bee Em Filters has created the wound cartridge, setting a higher standard for industries requiring cartridge filtration. Our equipment makes achieving precision patterns a matter of standard procedure. Our state of the art computerized production machinery takes the variables out of custom winding and enables us to produce filter cartridges that are accurately wound from a single strand of specially selected fibrous roving material, wound around a perforated core in a nearly perfect geometric

pattern.

 

Wound cartridges can be produced from a wide range of materials. With a range of 0.5-150 microns filtration, depending on your requirement for removal of solids from liquids, compressed air or gases. The Cartridges are independently tested to have the highest efficiencies in the industry.
