Low Pressure Drop
Big Bubba ® Cartridge Filters housings are designed
to minimize pressure drop, by using 2” pipe fittings
and large diameter center tubes. (See chart at right
for pressure drop data using pleated cartridges.)

Note: We build filtration systems, or they may be installed on site.
Depth Cartridges
Melt blown Polypropylene cartridges are recommended
when depth filtration is necessary for gelatinous substances
and when chemical resistance may be a requirement.

Note: 5, 20, 50 and 150 micron cartridges are cleanable and reusable to
reduce costs.
Pleated Cartridges
Ideal for more critical applications, offering greater ef-
ficiency, more surface area for greater throughput and
reduced cost.
