Upgrade Your Liquid Filtration with AJR 600 Series Deep Pleated Cartridges (DP62)
For industrial applications requiring high-efficiency filtration and extended service life, the AJR 600 Series Deep Pleated Cartridges (DP62) represent a significant upgrade over standard filter bags. Purecowater is proud to distribute these high-performance cartridges, designed to fit directly into existing bag filter vessels without the need for hardware modifications.
The DP62 moves beyond traditional filtration limitations by offering up to 20 times the surface area of a standard bag, providing absolute filtration efficiency and significantly increased dirt-holding capacity.
What is the DP62 Deep Pleated Cartridge?
The DP62 is part of AJR Filtration’s 600 Series. It is a large-diameter, pleated filter cartridge specifically engineered to replace Size #2 filter bags. While standard bags rely on depth or surface filtration with limited area, the DP62 utilizes a deep-pleat design that packs approximately 35 square feet of media into a single 26-inch cartridge. This design maximizes flow while minimizing pressure drop and frequency of change-outs.
Key Upgrade: A single DP62 cartridge can replace up to 20 standard filter bags, drastically reducing maintenance labor and disposal costs.
Technical Specifications & Materials
The AJR 600 Series is constructed to meet rigorous industrial standards. Below are the material specifications and operating parameters for the DP62 model.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Filter Media | Polypropylene (PO) or Polyester (PE) |
| Micron Ratings (Absolute) | 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 micron |
| Standard Length (DP62) | 26 inches (Fits Size #2 Baskets) |
| Construction | Pleated media secured with stainless steel bands and polyethylene netting |
| End Caps | Polypropylene with galvanized handle |
| Max Temperature | 200°F (Polypropylene) / 275°F (Polyester) |
| Regulatory | Materials meet FDA regulations for food contact (CFR 21, Section 177.1520) |
Performance Data
The deep pleated design is optimized for specific flow rates to ensure 99% absolute efficiency. This ensures that particles at the rated micron size are captured effectively, protecting downstream equipment and ensuring final product quality.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended Flow Rate | 30 GPM (per cartridge) for optimal life |
| Maximum Differential Pressure | 25 PSID |
| Filtration Efficiency | 99% Absolute |
| Seal Type | Hermetic O-ring seal to prevent bypass (Fits standard restrainer baskets) |
Compatability & Configuration
One of the primary advantages of the AJR DP62 is its versatility. It is designed to retrofit into most standard bag housings. The top flange design comes in various styles to match your specific vessel manufacturer, including Rosedale, FSI, and standard commercial housings.
Common End Cap Configurations:
- SC (Small Cap): 6-5/8″ OD – Fits standard Filtrek and commercially available housings.
- BC (Big Cap): 7-1/8″ OD – Often used for Rosedale housings.
- AR (Flanged Cap): 7-1/8″ OD – Designed for FSI-style housings.
Why Switch to Deep Pleated Cartridges?
- Extended Run Times: With 35 sq. ft. of surface area compared to the ~4.4 sq. ft. of a standard bag, the DP62 handles significantly more particulate before binding.
- Absolute Rating: Unlike felt bags which are often nominal, DP62 cartridges offer absolute retention ratings for critical filtration steps.
- Reduced Disposal Volume: Changing one cartridge instead of 20 bags reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills and minimizes disposal costs.
- Ease of Use: Features an integrated handle for easy removal and an O-ring seal that eliminates the risk of fluid bypass common in bag filters.
Whether you need to improve fluid quality, reduce maintenance downtime, or solve a specific filtration challenge, Purecowater provides the expertise and inventory to support your operations.
