As purification equipment becomes lighter and more intelligent, innovations in the structure and materials of filter elements, which are core components, have attracted much attention. Recently, the "soft mesh pleated filter cartridge", which is based on a flexible support structure, has emerged. Thanks to its high flexibility, wide adaptability and durability under pressure, it is driving the air and water purification industry towards more efficient and energy-saving solutions.
1. Flexible structure design: Breaking through spatial limitations to achieve efficient filtration.
Traditional filter cartridges need to rely on fixed frames to maintain their shape due to the strong rigidity of the material, resulting in low utilisation of the internal space of the equipment. The soft mesh pleated filter cartridge uses a supporting skeleton made of high-molecular elastic soft mesh. Through bionic design, the filter medium (e.g. melt-blown fabric or an activated carbon composite layer) is folded into a 'wave' or 'honeycomb' shape to form a stretchable accordion-like structure. This increases the effective filtration area of the filter element 4-6 fold compared to a standard filter cartridge of the same volume, while the compressible volume can reach 50%, making it convenient for transportation and installation.
Experimental data shows that the soft mesh pleated filter element has an interception rate of over 99.5% for PM0.3 particulate matter in air purification scenarios. Moreover, its flexible structure adapts to deformation in the airflow, reducing resistance by 18% and decreasing the energy consumption of the equipment. In water treatment, the folded ultrafiltration membrane layer reduces dirt deposition by 30% through dynamic pressure regulation, significantly lowering the backwashing frequency and extending the service life.
2. Material Collaborative Innovation: Dual enhancement of environmental protection and performance.
The soft mesh pleated filter element's core advantage lies in its deep integration of material technology. Take air purification as an example. The filter layer combines "electrostatic nanofibres and antibacterial activated carbon": the outer fibres capture fine dust, pollen and other particles through electrostatic adsorption, while the middle layer's soft net is embedded with silver-loaded activated carbon to decompose formaldehyde and ozone, as well as inhibit bacterial growth. The innermost layer contains a high-density HEPA filterto ensure that ultrafine particulate matter does not escape. The water treatment filter cartridge intercepts heavy metal ions and retains minerals through a folded RO membrane supported by a soft net and a diatomite composite layer, achieving the dual goal of purification.
In terms of environmental protection, the soft mesh skeleton is made of biodegradable, bio-based plastic and the filter material is welded using ultrasonic waves instead of adhesive to avoid chemical solvent pollution. According to third-party tests, the carbon emissions of a single soft mesh filter elementthroughout its life cycle are 35% lower than those of traditional products. It also supports modular disassembly and recycling, with a material reuse rate exceeding 60%.
3. All-scenario adaptation: From home medical care to industrial purification.
The soft mesh pleated filter cartridge is flexible and can be adapted to complex scenarios. In the household sector, it is ideal for use with irregularly shaped water purifiers or ultra-thin air purifiers, and can even be embedded in air conditioners, fresh air systems, and other equipment. In medical settings, filter cores made of medical-grade soft mesh materials can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure sterilisation, and they purify the air in operating rooms, removing 99.99% of microorganisms.
Conclusion:
The soft mesh pleated filter element represents a significant advancement in filtration technology, transitioning from "rigid fixation" to "flexible intelligence". Featuring high-efficiency purification, energy conservation and reduced consumption, it is also universally applicable in various scenarios. Not only does it provide consumers with a more convenient usage experience, it also paves the way for industrial emission reduction and resource recycling. As technology matures and market recognition improves, this innovative "overcoming hardness with flexibility" solution could become a new driver of high-quality development in the purification industry.
