Your benefits at a glance
Less consumption, lower costs
The L-TECH pleated candle can be cleaned and reused up to 10 times. This noticeably reduces your operating costs – you'll need fewer replacement filters and produce less waste.
Maximum performance in a compact installation
With a filtration area of up to 7 m² on just one cartridge, L-TECH enables especially high flow rates – ideal for large bath volumes or systems with high particle loads.
Longer service life, less maintenance
Thanks to its retention capacity of up to 4.7 kg of sediment, the cartridge needs to be changed significantly less often. This saves time and reduces maintenance costs in ongoing operations.
Reliable filtration down to the fine range
L-TECH achieves filtration tolerances from 0.2 µm – even the finest particles are efficiently separated without unnecessarily impeding flow.
Minimal downtime during cartridge change
Thanks to its well-thought-out design, the change is completed in seconds. Your production continues virtually uninterrupted – especially valuable in shift operations.
Sustainable solution with noticeable effect
The washable, adhesive-free polypropylene medium is particularly durable. This not only reduces your costs but also actively contributes to waste avoidance and resource conservation.
