This Oltaven coffee machine filter cartridge is a water-purifying filter compatible with BLACK & DECKER coffee machines. It reduces chlorine, odours, heavy metals and scale-forming minerals using a coconut-shell activated carbon and food-grade ion-exchange resin core. It is designed for automatic, semi-automatic and commercial coffee machines, as well as OEM water-filter programmes.
A filter is more than its media. The same activated carbon and ion-exchange resin can deliver very different results depending on how they are pleated, framed and sealed. Oltaven sells finished filters, not just media, so we control every step that turns raw materials into a reliable cartridge.
Pleating increases surface area and affects flow resistance. Framing holds the media in place and prevents bypass. Sealing ensures water passes through the media rather than around it. These three choices—media selection, pleating and sealing—decide the finished filter’s efficiency, resistance and capacity.
Efficiency, resistance and capacity are set by design decisions, not by media alone.
Oltaven balances these factors for each application, so the finished cartridge meets the intended flow rate, pressure drop and filter life.
This cartridge is used in automatic coffee machines, semi-automatic espresso machines and commercial coffee machines where scale and chlorine affect taste and equipment life. It is also available for OEM water-filter programmes, where the filter is branded for a coffee-machine manufacturer or distributor.
By reducing scale, the filter helps protect heating elements and extends the service interval of the machine. By reducing chlorine and odours, it supports consistent coffee flavour.

To start a custom project, please contact us with your device or vehicle model, required size or drawing, airflow or water flow, operating conditions and estimated quantity. Our team will respond with a tailored proposal and quotation.
Resistance depends on pleat count, media grade and sealing design, not just outer dimensions. A filter with more pleats and a well-matched frame can offer lower resistance and longer life. Oltaven optimises these factors for each application to achieve the required flow and pressure drop.
An OEM project starts with your requirements: device model, size or drawing, flow rate, operating conditions and quantity. We then propose media, pleating and sealing options, provide samples for testing, and proceed to production after approval. The typical development cycle is 30–45 days.
Yes. We offer OEM/ODM customisation of media ratio, filtration precision, flow parameters, life cycle, housing structure, logo and packaging. Our team supports the full process from drawing to mould development and mass production.
The MOQ for standard compatible models is 5,000 pieces, with lead time of 15–20 days for stock or small batch orders. For OEM customised models, the recommended MOQ is 10,000 pieces, with a production lead time of about 25–30 days including tooling and packaging development.
The filter life is approximately 250 litres or 2–3 months, whichever comes first, depending on local water quality and usage frequency. Replacing the cartridge at this interval helps maintain flow and protect the coffee machine from scale.
Yes. For standard models, we provide free samples (freight collect), usually shipped within 3–5 working days. For custom projects, we provide prototype, engineering and production samples for step-by-step approval. CNAS test reports and material reports can be included.
Our production follows ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949 and medical supplies GMP standards, and we operate a CNAS-accredited laboratory. Products comply with REACH and RoHS, and we provide compliance documents to support customs clearance and brand sales.
