MXGC100-40N-SM Replacement Filter Cartridge | Parker Fulflo MaxGuard Compatible
MemKway MXGC100-40N-SM replacement filter cartridge is designed as a compatible alternative for selected Parker Fulflo MaxGuard systems. It features 10 μm pleated cellulose media in a 40-inch configuration for industrial liquid filtration.
Unlike MXGP models that use polypropylene media, MXGC cartridges use cellulose media. Final compatibility should be confirmed by OEM part number, dimensions, seal configuration and process fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the filtration rating of MXGC100-40N-SM replacement filter?
A1: MemKway MXGC100-40N-SM replacement filter configuration uses 10 μm cellulose pleated media for particulate removal in industrial liquid filtration applications.
Q2: What is the difference between MXGC and MXGP MaxGuard cartridges?
A2: MXGC models use cellulose filter media, while MXGP models use polypropylene media. Media selection should be based on the process fluid, chemical compatibility and operating conditions.
Q3: Is MemKway MXGC100-40N-SM replacement filter designed for Parker MaxGuard systems?
A3: Yes. It is designed as a compatible replacement for selected Parker Fulflo MaxGuard applications. Final compatibility should be confirmed using the complete OEM part number, cartridge dimensions and seal configuration.
Q4: When should the MXGC100-40N-SM replacement cartridge be changed?
A4: Cartridge change-out should be based on system differential pressure, flow performance and process requirements. If your validated product specification uses 35 psid (2.4 bar) as the recommended change-out differential pressure, this value should remain consistent throughout the page.
