Abstract:
A filtration system effective to filter bacteria, cysts, and viruses. The small scale filter includes a rigid or semi-rigid core having perforations formed therein, and surrounded by one or more layers of filter media formed into a pleat pack filter arrangement.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a media assembly comprises winding a filter media about a center axis into a media roll and cutting the media roll along at least two cut lines and into at least two media packs of at least two media assemblies. The media roll is cut along at least one plane that is parallel to the center axis.
Abstract:
A filtration system effective to filter bacteria, cysts, and viruses, and to alter the surface tension of water. The small scale filter includes a rigid or semi-rigid core having perforations formed therein, and surrounded by one or more layers of filter media formed into a pleat pack filter arrangement.
Abstract:
A filter element includes a center tube and a blank of a filter media. The center tube has a first end and a second end. The blank is folded into a plurality of triangles. Each triangle is disposed adjacent to another of the plurality of triangles to form a series of triangular pleats to form a pleated filter media. The pleated filter media is disposed about the center tube. A cross sectional area of the pleated filter media proximal to each of the first end and the second end is greater than a cross sectional area of the pleated filter media at a point between the first end and the second end.

Abstract:
A filtration device having therein a pleated, twisted filtration material is provided. The filtration material has a generally cylindrical shape and includes a first end, a second end opposing the first end, and outwardly projecting pleats. The pleats have a non-linear orientation within the filtration device. The twisting of the filtration material moves the ends of the pleats a distance around the circumference of the filtration material from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2). The angle of rotation may range from about 5 degrees to about 1440 degrees. Twisting the filtration material increases the effective amount of filtration material in the filtration device, which in turn, corresponds to an increase in the Effective Filtration Area (EFA). The intentional misalignment of the pleat ends in the filtration material improves the cutting ability of the material, removes buckling of the material, and improves the quality of the trim cut.
Abstract:
Offenbart ist ein Filterelement zur Filterung eines Fluids, insbesondere eines Hydraulik-Fluids, mit einer Folge von Hauptfaltungen (8a,8b), wobei erfindungsgemäß an zumindest einer der Hauptfaltungen eine Nebenfaltung (12a,12b) angeordnet ist.
