Melt-blown filter cartridges are widely used across industries and households for their affordability, fine particle removal, and chemical compatibility. But how they’re used in industrial applications differs greatly from domestic systems.
At Star Filter Industries, we supply melt-blown cartridges tailored to both segments—each with specific performance, durability, and regulatory requirements. Let’s explore the key differences between melt-blown filter use in industrial vs. domestic environments.
What Are Melt-Blown Filter Cartridges?
Melt-blown filters are made from polypropylene microfibers, layered to form a graded depth structure. They’re ideal for removing sediment, dirt, rust, and suspended particles from water, oil, and other fluids.
Benefits include:
- High dirt-holding capacity
- Wide chemical compatibility
- Economical and disposable
- Micron ratings from 1–100 µm

Industrial Applications of Melt-Blown Filters
Common Uses:
- Pre-filtration in reverse osmosis (RO) plants
- Filtration of cooling water, process water, oils, and chemicals
- Used in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and manufacturing plants
Industrial Requirements:
- High flow rates and pressure tolerance
- Larger cartridge sizes (20″, 30″, 40″)
- Tight micron control (as low as 1 or 5 microns)
- Ability to withstand continuous operation and chemical exposure
- Need for certifications (FDA, NSF, ISO)
Star Filter Industries’ Solution:
We offer custom-engineered melt-blown cartridges for high-load, high-volume industrial filtration with superior durability and accuracy. Our filters are also compatible with industrial-grade housings and filter skids.

Domestic Applications of Melt-Blown Filters
Common Uses:
- Sediment removal in household water filters
- Pre-filtration for home RO units
- Used in under-sink, whole-house, or countertop systems
Domestic Requirements:
- Lower flow rates and moderate pressure
- Standard cartridge sizes (typically 10″)
- Moderate micron ratings (5, 10, or 20 microns)
- Shorter usage life (recommended replacement every 3–6 months)
- Must be safe for drinking water
At Star Filter Industries, we offer melt-blown cartridges optimized for both industrial and domestic applications, backed by technical expertise and quality assurance.
