Facet SS436FB-5 Heavy-Duty Fuel Water Separator Filter Cartridge

As a classic SS-series FB heavy-duty separator, Facet SS436FB-5 is optimized for harsh working conditions with unstable flow rate and high pollutant concentration. Different from FC precision-type and FA standard-type elements, FB-grade filters focus on heavy dirt holding capacity and anti-clogging performance. The SS-series upgraded synthetic fiber material provides better toughness, corrosion resistance and long-cycle stability than traditional ST-series media, effectively resisting long-term fuel scouring and pressure impact.

The element adopts gradient layered hydrophobic structure, which can quickly separate and settle large-volume water mist and impurity groups. The fully sealed integral epoxy bonding process eliminates filtration bypass, while the thickened inner support frame prevents expansion and deformation under high differential pressure. It is a cost-effective and durable core component for continuous industrial fuel purification operations.

Working Principle

SS436FB-5 follows Facet’s mature inside-out hydrophobic separation mechanism:

1. Mixed fuel containing massive coalesced water droplets and particles flows from the inner core to the outer layer.

2. The FB heavy-duty hydrophobic fiber layer strongly repels all free water, completely blocking water penetration.

3. Only clean, dry and qualified fuel smoothly passes through the filter media.

4. Isolated water accumulates on the outer surface, aggregates into large water masses, and settles down by gravity to complete fuel-water separation.

Key Features

- FB heavy-duty grade: Super high dirt holding capacity, excellent anti-clogging performance

- SS-series upgraded media: Higher toughness and aging resistance for long industrial service life

- Strong hydrophobic stability: Permanent water repellency, no secondary fuel emulsification

- Impact-resistant structure: Adapts to fluctuating flow and pressure working conditions

- Full sealed leak-proof design: Ensures 100% effective filtration rate

- Complete OEM interchangeability: Accurate size matching for direct replacement
