Cartridge shape, media and cleaning
Cylinder, cone and oval designs; cellulose, spunbond, nanofibre, PTFE and antistatic media — which one to choose and when.
Air cartridge types
- When to choose
- Standard collectors and OEM replacement
- Media
- Cellulose, blend or spunbond
- Critical check
- Diameter, length, flange, seal and area
Standard air cartridge: maximum 135 °C for the complete assembly; the supplied PET samples state up to 120 °C continuous. A fibre-only limit does not transfer to adhesive, end caps, cage and gasket.
Temperature: media versus assembly
This site limits a standard cartridge element to 135 °C maximum. The supplied PET sheets state 120 °C continuous. Even if a fibre tolerates more, the adhesive, end caps, cage and gasket may limit the completed product. A substrate sheet therefore does not replace a cartridge assembly datasheet.
If cartridge life is short
In a cartridge collector, first check dust blinding, pleat velocity, pulse and grounding.
- 01Probable cause
Small area, sticky dust, depth loading, weak pulse.
- 02Check first
Flow, area, pleat velocity and dust properties.
- 03Action
Recalculate; choose nanofibre or membrane media if required.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum temperature of an air cartridge?
This site limits a complete standard cartridge assembly to 135 °C maximum. Many supplied PET samples state 120 °C continuous. The final value is always confirmed by the complete-assembly datasheet.
Can you match an OEM reference?
Yes — once dimensions, seal, media, grade or rating, flow and conditions are confirmed. A code alone, without checking the parameters, can lead to a wrong selection.
