Custom Polymer Candle Filter elements SUS 304 Manufacturer, Supplier

Candle filters are named after their candle-like. These filter elements are typically tubular and made of stainless steel mesh or stainless steel sintered mesh with a cap on the bottom and a threaded connector on the top (or vice versa) that connects to the core end. The outer surface of some tubes is made of perforated metal sheet, expanded metal, sintered metal or porous ceramic to support the filter media.

The candle filter element is placed inside the filter housing (housing). It is a compact device that can typically hold 1-20 candles, depending on the size of the filter. The filter element is arranged vertically in the pressure vessel to filter liquids with low solid content. The candle filter allows high productivity, easy bottom sediment discharge.

Melt filter element is a filtration device widely used in the chemical fiber industry for polymer melt and other high-viscosity substances. Its function is to remove solid impurities such as carbonized particles and metal oxides in the melt, improve the purity of the melt, provide qualified raw materials for downstream processes, and ensure the normal operation of the melt filter.

Product Description

Description

The melt filter element is installed in the extrusion line, where the polymer melt is forced through the filter to remove impurities. The filtered polymer melt then proceeds to the spinning process, where it is solidified into continuous filaments or staple fibers.

The main filter layer of Pleated Filter mainly uses two materials: stainless steel wire mesh and stainless steel Sintered fiber. Stainless steel wire mesh is woven from stainless steel wire. Its pleated filter has the characteristics of smooth pores, easy cleaning, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, no wire mesh falling off, and long filtration cycle. Stainless steel sintered fiber is a porous deep filter material made of stainless steel fibers sintered at high temperature. Its pleated filter has the characteristics of high porosity, good air permeability, strong dirt holding capacity, and strong regeneration ability.

How to clean industrial filter cores?

Industrial fine filters are widely used in industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical, ink and paint, food and beverage, automobile manufacturing, cement industry, petroleum, oil refineries, petrochemical, etc. It is important to clean these filter cartridges to ensure that they filter consistently over a long period of time.

Industrial filter cores provided by Song Phung have high dirt holding capacity, are easy to install, clean and maintain. The fine filter element is sturdy, has a solid quality core and has well-formed layers, so cleaning and installing them is very easy.

Some filtration systems allow backwashing and have a CIP system design. But most have to be taken out of their shells, sterilized and washed. When not in use, these cleaned filter cartridges are dried and sealed or vacuumed to prevent contamination or wear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1 What are the main filter media materials used for pleated melt filters?

The main materials are stainless steel wire mesh (for smooth pores, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning) and stainless steel sintered fiber (for high porosity, superior dirt holding capacity, and strong regeneration ability).

Q2 What filtration ratings and operating temperatures can these candle filter elements support?

Our polymer candle filter elements support a filtration rating range from 1 to 200 microns, withstanding operating temperatures up to ≤350°C and a maximum allowable pressure differential of 10 bar / 14 psi.

Q3 Which connector types are available for customization?

We supply standard connector types including 222, 226, 215, M36, M28, M24, M22, and M20 to suit specific polymer melt filtration application requirements.

Q4 What primary industries utilize these polymer melt filter elements?

They are extensively applied in petrochemical refining, metallurgy hydraulic systems, textile polyester melt drawing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, thermal power plants, and nuclear power operations.

Q5 How are industrial candle filter elements cleaned and maintained?

Some systems support online backwashing or clean-in-place (CIP) designs. Alternatively, cartridges can be removed, sterilized, washed, and then dried and sealed or vacuumed for safe storage.
