Zusammenfassung:A new non-woven depth filter element is formed in a continuous process whereby a first cylindrical mass of very fine diameter polymer filaments overlaid by a second cylindrical mass of larger diameter polymer filaments are continuously accumulated on a spinning mandrel and advanced along and off of the mandrel by a press roller. The first cylindrical mass is made of essentially continuous thermally bonded polymer filaments, having diameters of less than 1.5 microns. The first cylindrical mass comprises a first filament zone and a second filament zone. The first filament zone defines a calendered layer having a density of filaments that is substantially greater than that of the second zone. The calendered layer facilitates insertion of a core member
