Fluid flowing from outside in has the effect of opening the pleats, thus avoiding undesirable pleat bunching and impeded flow that often occurs in inside-out flow elements.
Available in Excellement synthetic media, the DirtCatcher delivers all of the advantages of the original Schroeder outside-in flow elements (low pressure drop, excellent dirt retention, and high efficiency) all while completely containing the contaminants within the element outer shell.
This being the case, the run-off fluid from a discarded element is actually clean and can be captured and recycled if desired.
DirtCatcher elements possess a unique physical size, allowing OEMs to retain 100% of their after-market business.
The outer wrap can be also be private labeled.
DirtCatcher elements are available in single or double length K-size elements and are totally interchangeable with Schroeder KZ and KKZ elements.
The elements can be purchased separately or incorporated into Schroeder RT, KFT, KF3, KF8, and KT filter assemblies.
