CUNO DuoFLO™ Filter Element 

The patented CUNO DuoFLO™ filter system* is an advanced alternative to standard bag filters.  Developed using CUNO's extensive depth filtration experience, the DuoFLO filter media, featuring a true graded-porosity structure, is now available to users of standard bag type filters and housings. This feature, combined with a 62 % increase in filter surface area, ensures that DuoFLO filters provide: 

• up to 4 times the service life of conventional felt filter bags 
• superior contaminant removal efficiency 
• enhanced flow per filter element 
• reduced total filtration costs by minimizing production downtime, disposal and labor costs. 

The DuoFLO design incorporates an innovative new geometry of both filter element and restrainer basket which provides 100% 3 dimensional support of the DuoFLO media.  This eliminates the potential for filter element rupture and the resulting gross contamination of the downstream effluent with previously removed particles. In addition, the unique design of the DuoFLO element reduces filter element hold-up fluid volume by 67%  compared to conventional bags, minimizing worker exposure to process fluids. 

CUNO utilizes state-of-the-art technology to produce the DuoFLO filter element such that both performance and filtrate quality are optimized and customer satisfaction is ensured. DuoFLO filter elements are sized to replace conventional bag filters and are available in both polypropylene and polyester materials with nominal ratings from 1 to 100 micron. 

The DuoFLO filter will easily retrofit most existing bag filter housings.  To take advantage of the DuoFLO system in applications where bag filter housings are currently in use, simply remove the existing bag support basket, replace it with a DuoFLO support basket, and insert the DuoFLO filter.  For new installations, CUNO offers a full line of DuoFLO filter housings.
