China Candle Filter Cartridge Application in Spunbond Nonwoven Supplier, Company

polymer Melt filter is a key part of filtration equipment in high-speed spinning, fine denier spinning and nonwoven fabric production. It is mainly used to filter impurities and unmelted particles in polymer melts to protect spinnerets and improve product quality. Its structure is divided into coarse filtration and fine filtration devices. The coarse filtration system is located between the screw extruder and the metering pump, while the fine filtration device is placed inside the spinning assembly. The core component, the filter element, is made by sintering five layers of metal wire mesh and features high-temperature and high-pressure resistance.

Product Description

Description
In the production of spunbonded nonwoven fabrics, to ensure the smooth progress of the spinning process and reduce the occurrence of phenomena such as filament breakage and material dripping, two sets of filtration devices are generally installed. The first filter (coarse filter) is installed between the screw extruder and the metering pump. Its main function is to filter out larger impurities to extend the service life of the second filter device, protect the metering pump and spinning pump, increase the back pressure of the extruder, and thereby facilitate the exhaust and plasticizing of the material during compression. The second filter (fine filter) is installed in the spinning assembly. Its main function is to filter out finer impurities, crystal points, etc., prevent the spinneret from clogging, ensure the smooth progress of spinning, and improve the quality of the fibers.

Specification
The melt filter element is a kind of rod-shaped structure which sintered from five layers of metal wire mesh. At the center of the rod is a reinforcing skeleton, which withstands the pressure during filtration. The initial pressure used for the filter element is 2.156×10⁶Pa, and the pressure during switching is 8.33×10⁶Pa. The filter elements come in several models such as X6, X7, X11, and X12, and the mesh diameters range from 20μm to 40μm.
The pore size of the mesh is the filtration accuracy of the filter element.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of polymer pleated candle filters?
They are specifically designed for polymer melt filtration, such as in spunbonded nonwoven fabric production. They effectively filter out fine impurities and gel particles to protect spinnerets, prevent filament breakage, and ensure continuous fiber quality.
How are these candle filter elements cleaned and reused?
The sintered stainless steel wire mesh construction allows the filter elements to be repeatedly cleaned using ultrasonic washing or solvent bath methods, significantly reducing operational costs.
What temperature and pressure conditions can these filters withstand?
Constructed from premium SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, the filter elements can handle working temperatures up to 350°C and an allowed pressure differential up to 10 bar (14 psi).
What filtration ratings are available for custom orders?
We offer filtration ratings ranging from 1 to 200 microns to meet precise polymer processing requirements across coarse and fine filtration stages.
Can customized dimensions and connector types be provided?
Yes, we support custom lengths, outer diameters, and connector types (such as 222, 226, 215, M36, M28, M24, M22, M20) tailored to your specific melt filtration machinery.
