® a 3M company CUNO High Flow Filtration Systems High Flow Performance in a Compact Design + Innovative technology to achieve flow rates up to 500 gpm per element + Absolute-rated for consistent product quality + Operator-friendly cartridge and housing system + Unique design to reduce capital investment expenses CUNO High Flow Filtration System The CUNO High Flow Filtration System is an advanced design that uses 3M Innovation and CUNO’s extensive filtration experience to deliver a high flow filter in a compact housing design. When compared to conventional cartridge systems, this system provides the following advantages: High Flow Capability The unique construction of CUNO High Flow Filters (patent pending) permits flow rates of up to 500 gpm in a single cartridge. The result? Fewer filter elements to accommodate your flow requirements. In fact, the CUNO High Flow Filtration System requires as few as one-tenth the number of elements as competitive 2.5” pleated cartridges (see Figure 1). Compact Design Using fewer elements combined with an outside-to-in flow path enables a reduction in the size of housing required for your application. The CUNO High Flow Housing takes up as little as one-half the size of competitive housings for a given flow rate. The result is lower capital investment costs and a compact footprint that saves valuable plant space (see Figure 1). Ease of Use The CUNO High Flow Filtration System is designed with ease-of-use in mind. From a user-friendly, ergonomically designed handle that makes cartridge installation and removal easier without the use of special tools or other hardware, to a unique "twist-to-lock" cartridge seating mechanism that provides a positive seal, the CUNO High Flow System facilitates easy operation and maintenance of your filter system.

The elements use a unique pleat design that results in a high usable filtering surface area per filter. Radial pleat design 3M Innovation is at the heart of the CUNO High Flow Filter. A patent pending compound radial pleat design maximizes the usable surface area per filter. Blown microfiber forms the basis of the filter media, which is made to tightly controlled fiber diameter specifications to produce a media with absolute rated particle retention characteristics. Our unique manufacturing process embosses the media to produce a more uniform pleat pattern, which, in turn, allows greater utilization of the media by evenly distributing the fluid throughout the entire filter structure. This results in consistent particle retention in a compact, space-saving design. Design Features The CUNO High Flow Filter contains several features to combine high performance with easy operation. + A large diameter Ergonomically designed handle facilitates fast and easy insertion and removal without use of special tools. Twist to lock seating mechanism provides positive seal. core allows up to 500 gpm through a single filter element. + An ergonomically All polypropylene construction provides wide range of compatibility with various fluids. Patent pending Compound Radial Pleat maximizes usable surface area per cartridge. 3-inch core allows up to 500 gpm through single filter element. 3 designed handle has been designed to facilitate fast and easy insertion and removal without the use of special tools. Cartridges are simply inserted over a built-in guide tube. + The seating mechanism uses a “twist to lock” design to provide a positive seal.
