Ultipor III Filter Elements

High-performance Pall Ultipor III filters feature sophisticated design technology, including a unique patented helical wrap pleat support system and composite element structure offering unparalleled strength, outstanding performance and exceptional service life. These lube and hydraulic filters, used in applications such as turbine hydraulic system filters are a cost-effective and superior solution compared to traditional filter elements.

 

The Ultipor III filter media features a unique tapered pore design, that can reduce operating costs while offering maximum particle retention. This tapered pore design allows the coarser upstream surface to act as a prefilter that traps larger particles. The finer downstream pores then effectively capture critical clearance-sized particles.

 

Pall Ultipor III Filters - Features:

• An outer helical wrap tightly bonded to each pleat for uniform pleat spacing minimizes pleat flexing and possible media damage, even under severe conditions such as cold start, high viscosity, or pressure surge. This also provides reliability, consistency, rigidity and resistance to extreme operating conditions.
• Proprietary polymeric upstream and downstream support layers with built-in flow channels prevent media blind-off. This results in lower maintenance costs and extended element life.
• Filter media made using inert, inorganic fibers bonded into a tapered pored structure ensure high particle removal efficiency, maximum dirt holding capacity, consistent filter performance and extended service life.
• Coreless versions of the element are lightweight (60% lighter than traditional designs), crushable, and incinerable.
• The element structure includes O-ring seals, corrosion resistant end caps and a rugged metal inner core. This product reduces disposal and maintenance costs.

 

Coreless Ultipor® III Filter Elements:

Pall Coreless Ultipor® III filter elements offer the advanced performance of Ultipor® III filter elements in a metal-free package. and feature a helical outer wrap, high strength upstream and downstream support, reinforced polymer end caps, and Ultipor® III filter medium. However, these do not include an internal core, since the core is a part of the filter housing. These high-quality filter elements provide consistent filtering, extended service life, and reduce maintenance costs through waste minimization. They are incinerable, crushable, and lightweight. Most existing Pall housings can be upgraded to coreless technology on-site.

1. How are Pall’s Coreless Ultipor® III filter elements different from the traditional Ultipor® III filter elements?

Unlike the Ultipor® III filter elements, Pall’s Coreless Ultipor® III filter elements do not include an internal core, since the core is a part of the filter housing.

 

Coreless Ultipor filter elements offer all the features of Ultipor® III filter elements in a metal-free package. These are designed with a helical outer wrap, high strength upstream and downstream support, reinforced polymer end caps, and Ultipor® III filter medium.

 

2. How are Pall Coreless Ultipor® III filter elements incinerable and crushable?

Pall Coreless Ultipor® III elements are incinerable because they are manufactured without metal components. Reinforced polymer end caps and filter support add BTU value in waste-to-energy facilities.

 

With the elimination of a core, Pall Coreless Ultipor® III elements are crushable. Elements can be folded to easily fit into drum packing equipment.

 

3. What is the “helical wrap” pleat support system?

The “helical wrap” pleat support system involves an outer helical wrap tightly bonded to each pleat to maintain uniform pleat spacing, and reliable and consistent performance. This minimizes pleat flexing and resists possible media damage, even under extreme operating conditions such as cold start or pressure surge.

 

4. What is the beta ratio of Pall Ultipor® III filters?

Standard Elements Beta ratio = 1000 at 2.5, 5, 7, 12 and 22 µm(c)

Dirt-Fuse Elements Beta ratio = 1000 at 5 and 15 µm(c)

 

5. Are Pall’s Coreless Ultipor® III filter elements environment friendly?

Yes, Pall’s Ultipor® III filter elements are environment friendly and designed to reduce disposal and maintenance costs.
