Highlights

Proprietary diamond pleat design optimizes usable surface area of the cartridge to maximize filter life
Highest ﬂow rate among 3M large format ﬁlters allows for operational ﬂexibility to maintain process ﬂow requirements
Ergonomic horizontal design with a twist-to-lock handle allows for faster and easier cartridge installation and removal
High flow capability enables fewer cartridges, which results in reduced cartridge handling and disposal, reduced filter change-out time and less individual cartridge seal points to help achieve sustainability goals
Outside-to-inside ﬂow construction allows for compact housing design
Absolute-rated polypropylene ﬁlter provides consistent performance, eﬄuent quality and broad chemical compatibility
Extensive food contact compliance* *For details related to specific use conditions or limitations for food contact applications, please contact your 3M Representative for more information
Looking for a high-quality ﬁlter cartridge with inside-outside ﬂow capabilities that can be retroﬁtted to your existing system? View the 3M™ High Flow HFR Series Filter

3M™ High Flow Series HF and HFM Filter Cartridges oﬀer high eﬃciency and outside-to-inside ﬂow for food and beverage, industrial water and oil and gas applications. Each cartridge has an ergonomic design and a pleat style that provides a large surface area for a long life with a reduced number of change-outs and labor savings for your application.

3M™ High Flow Series HF and HFM Filter Cartridges provide high flow capability in an outside-to-inside ﬂow path that allows for small housing sizes and reduces the number of cartridges needed for your application, resulting in lower labor costs and a more sustainable solution. With a single open-end design and fewer individual cartridge seal points than 2.5 inch filters, these ﬁlter cartridges also help to reduce the chance of ﬂuid bypass.

3M™ High Flow Series Filter Cartridge

High flow capability.

Diamond pleat construction.

Horizontal set-up.

Ergonomic design.

Designed to accommodate high ﬂow rates for industrial applications, 3M™ High Flow Series Filters require fewer ﬁlters to maintain your process ﬂow requirements.

Our proprietary diamond pleat design provides large surface area to help maximize filter loading capacity for a long ﬁlter life and a reduced number of required change-outs.

3M High Flow Series Filters feature a horizontal ergonomic design in the 40 and 60 inch versions.

Featuring a twist-to lock mechanism, ﬁlter change-outs are quick and easy and do not require any special tools or hardware for installation or removal.

3M™ High Flow HF Series Filter Cartridges

These high ﬂow ﬁlter cartridges oﬀer great particulate removal and surface ﬁltration for a variety of industrial applications.

3M™ High Flow HFM Series Filter Cartridges

Featuring a thick media, these high ﬂow ﬁlters are designed to ﬁlter deformables and organics. They also help prevent premature blinding of the ﬁlter’s outer surface, promoting fuller utilization of the media for an optimal combination of particle removal eﬃciency and contaminant holding capability.
