Summary
Product identification
The LOFPLEAT™AG Series consists of absolute rated pleated filter cartridges. These are cost-effective, all-polypropylene cartridges designed for high efficiency filtration due to their pleated design and large surface area.
Key features include:
- Fits a broad application range with 0.2 to 100 micron retention.
- Acceptable for food and beverage applications.
- Meets USP Class VI biological tests for plastics.
- Beta rating of 5000, indicating 99.98% efficiency.
- High flow and long life for minimum maintenance.
- Available in continuous lengths up to 40 inches.
- Eliminates dirt unloading at high differential pressures due to fixed pore structure.
Operating limits
- Max. operating temperature: 176°F (80°C)
- Differential pressure:
- 75 psid @ 70°F (5.2 bar @ 21°C)
- 40 psid @ 176°F (2.8 bar @ 80°C)
- 15 psid @ 190°F (1.03 bar @ 88°C)
- Recommended change-out pressure for disposal: 35 psid (2.4 bar)
Product water
- FDA compliance: All polypropylene material used in manufacturing complies with the regulations of the FDA Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Sections 174.5, 177.1520, and 177.1630, as applicable for food and beverage contact.
- Biological tests: Meets USP Class VI biological tests for plastics.

Flow Rate: The LOFPLEAT-AG offers high flow rates. A graph illustrating differential pressure versus flow (USGPM/LPM) for various micron ratings at 70°F/21°C per 10" cartridge is available in the official PDF. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.
Filter Removal Efficiency: The micron ratings shown at various efficiency and beta ratio value levels were determined through laboratory testing using the single-pass test method, with water at 3 gpm/10" cartridge. Contaminants included latex beads, coarse and fine test dust.
