More media in the same shell. That is the whole trick, done properly.
Twelve Clarypleat variants across PP, PES, PTFE, PVDF, and Nylon 66, from nominal clarification to membrane-grade duty. Pre-washed construction, FDA-compliant materials, engineered PP cores, lengths 10 to 70 inch.
The range, grouped by job
| Group | Variants | Where it earns its keep |
|---|---|---|
| Membrane grade | Clarypleat PVDF (sterilizing grade), Clarypleat PES (aqueous sterile duty), Clarypleat PTFE (extreme temperature and chemical resistance), Clarypleat N66 (enhanced chemical compatibility) | Pharma, biotech, breweries, final filtration |
| High efficiency depth | Clarypleat HE (extended service life), Clarypleat 5000 (very high efficiency), Unipleat (higher efficiency, longer life), Clarypleat TMP (thick media for gels and agglomerates) | Process streams where efficiency and life decide cost |
| Duty specific | Clarypleat CPU (condensate polishing), Clarypleat HF (large high-flow element), Clarypleat NE (nominal efficiency general duty), RO Protect DPP (desalination particle removal) | Power, desalination, utility filtration |

Pleated cartridges: direct answers
When does a pleated cartridge beat a depth cartridge?
When efficiency at a fine rating, long service life, or membrane-grade media is the requirement. Pleating packs a large media area into the same 2.5 inch envelope, so the element loads slower and runs longer at low pressure drop. For heavy bulk solids ahead of it, a depth cartridge or bag filter is the better first stage; most well-designed trains use both.
Which Clarypleat media do I need?
PP for general aqueous and chemical duty. PES for sterile aqueous applications. PTFE for aggressive solvents, gases, and high temperature. PVDF for sterilizing-grade duty with broad compatibility. Nylon 66 where chemical compatibility with specific solvents matters. Send the fluid and the target rating; we confirm media and variant against the compatibility data.
Are Clarypleat cartridges suitable for pharmaceutical use?
The range is built with FDA-compliant materials and pre-washed construction, and membrane variants cover sterile-adjacent aqueous and solvent duty. For any regulated application, tell us the process stage and required documentation and we will confirm exactly what we can certify for that variant before you order, in line with our accuracy-over-impressiveness rule.
What sizes are available?
Standard lengths 10 to 70 inch in standard and jumbo diameters, with an engineered high-strength polypropylene core. High-flow duties are covered by Clarypleat HF and the high flow family with retrofit-compatible formats.
Chasing efficiency or service life? Usually it is both.
Send the fluid, the rating you need, and your current element's life. We will quote the Clarypleat variant and predict the change-out interval before you buy.
