Screen Filter Cartridge 120 mesh / 130 microns

Screen Filter Cartridge 120 mesh / 130 microns (Reference: 0256A) represents the professional solution for precise liquid filtration in your installations. This high-performance cartridge, designed by Multitanks, guarantees efficient separation of solid particles up to 130 microns, ensuring protection of your equipment and quality of your fluids.

Applications and benefits

This filter cartridge finds applications in many professional and domestic fields. For irrigation professionals, it protects micro-sprinkler and drip systems against clogging caused by organic and mineral particles. In industry, it secures cooling circuits, washing processes and water treatment installations.

Individuals use it advantageously to filter well water, protect submersible pumps and maintain clarity of ponds and natural pools. Its filtration fineness of 130 microns effectively captures fine sand, algae, plant debris and other suspended particles, preserving the lifespan of your downstream installations.

Technical specifications and construction

Manufactured according to the most demanding industrial standards, this cartridge integrates a 120 mesh stainless steel screen offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and pressure variations. The stainless material guarantees compatibility with most liquids, including slightly acidic or basic solutions.

The varied external dimensions allow perfect adaptation to different connection diameters: 52x52x126mm for 1/2'' to 3/4'' diameters, 52x52x166mm for 1'' to 1''1/4 diameters, 85x85x179mm for 1''1/2, and 85x85x228mm for 2'' diameter. This gradation ensures optimal flow while maintaining reduced pressure drop.

The modular construction facilitates integration into existing Multitanks screen filters, guaranteeing perfect sealing and installation without specific tools.

Installation and maintenance

Installation of this cartridge is completed in a few minutes thanks to its integrated positioning system. After cutting off the water supply, unscrew the filter body, remove the old cartridge and insert the new one respecting the flow direction indicated by the arrows.

Preventive maintenance consists of regular cleaning of the filter surface. Use a backwash water jet or a soft brush to remove accumulated deposits. For intensive industrial applications, plan a cartridge rotation allowing thorough cleaning without production interruption.

Cleaning frequency depends on the quality of treated water: weekly for loaded waters, monthly for common domestic applications. A differential pressure indicator can alert you to the need for maintenance.

Expert advice and optimization

To maximize efficiency of your cartridge, combine it with upstream coarse pre-filtration, particularly when treating heavily loaded waters. This staged approach significantly extends the lifespan of your 120 mesh cartridge.

In automatic irrigation systems, position the filter after the pump but before programmers and solenoid valves. This configuration protects all sensitive components while maintaining regular flow.

For seasonal applications, store cleaned cartridges in a dry place after complete drying. Avoid sudden thermal shocks that could damage the screen structure. Consider acquiring replacement cartridges to ensure service continuity during maintenance operations.

Maintenance professionals recommend keeping a monitoring log noting cleaning and replacement dates, allowing optimization of maintenance intervals according to actual usage conditions.
