Candle filter – as versatile as filtration itself
Candle filter systems are used in a wide variety of filter systems. From liquid filtration, water filtration and gas filtration to polymer processing, the applications of the useful candle filter are very versatile. The individual products in this category can vary accordingly. If you want to narrow down your search for the right elements for your business processes and optimize your own working methods, the experts at Wiremesh-ProTec are on hand to help.
Candle filter for the microfiltration of liquids – for example in the food and pharmaceutical industries
Candle filter are used particularly frequently in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Here, a liquid to be filtered is pressed from the outside into the inside of the candle filter – under high pressure. Unwanted particles and micro-pollutants remain on the outside of the candle filter so that the pure liquid can be processed further. Here, it is important to use cartridge filters with high resistance that meet the legal requirements for food and pharmaceutical products. Wiremesh-ProTec makes it easy to implement precisely such high standards. Because for us, quality always comes first.
In water filtration, candle filter can usually achieve a very high filtration performance. This can be the case for pre-filtration in UV systems, for example. As experts in pond filter systems, our professionals can also provide comprehensive advice in this area.
Stainless steel candle filter for maximum performance
Stainless steel candle filter are in a category of their own. Wiremesh ProTec products fit perfectly into the requirements profile of most applications. The materials 1.4301 and 1.4401 are usually an excellent choice here, as they are considered robust and resistant, but also comply with hygiene standards. At the same time, the material withstands pressure and high temperatures very well and is characterized by its corrosion resistance. Pleated versions in the high-flow standard make it possible to achieve high filter performance.
By the way: Wiremesh-ProTec also offers coated candle filter made from several layers of metal wire mesh. The pleated versions withstand even the highest demands and offer a high capacity when it comes to binding dirt particles. Fully welded models can withstand high pressure to improve the homogeneity of the polymers – and reliably eliminate any type of contamination for a long time.
Candle filter achieve the best end results – while protecting production systems
Thanks to the successful and particularly efficient retention of dirt particles, candle filters prevent blockages during polymer processing, for example. If, for example, filaments are to be produced, the particles could not only clog nozzles, but also result in polymers with a lack of homogeneity. Furthermore, the filaments could become brittle – or simply not produce the desired quality. All in all, the other components of the production systems are protected. Less wear means less maintenance and less frequent replacement work – and therefore lower operating costs. Of course, this is only the case if the candle filter themselves stand out due to their quality.
Further products for polymer filtration from Wiremesh-ProTec
If polymers are to be processed, more than just candle filter may come into question. We at Wiremesh-ProTec have therefore also specialized our range in what is important in the various industries and needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Our range includes spinneret filters, spinneret gaskets, pleated filters, disc filters and extrusion screens, which are characterized by equally advantageous properties. We also offer filter belts and cut-to-size filters with mesh sizes and filter finenesses that can be adapted to any purpose.
Optimum further filtration effects thanks to selected filter media from Wiremesh-ProTec candle filter.
The mechanical properties of the filter media selected by Wiremesh-ProTec are chosen to suit the process requirements. The right filter media for every industry. Filter cartridge design and filter media are optimally matched to each other. We use metallic filter media for most processes. However, we also process filter media made of polyester. The cartridge filter option with depth filtration is also a special feature. These enable the mechanical separation of impurities inside the products instead of on the outer surface. Which one is right for the respective application depends on a number of factors – Wiremesh-ProTec will be happy to advise you in more detail.
A look at the corrosion resistance of our cartridge filters
Candle filters made from standard stainless steel materials are a good choice when a high level of resistance to corrosion is required. For example, the materials can withstand acetic and citric acid, but also hydrochloric and sulphuric acid very well. This is also the case with most alcohols, alkalis and ethers, which is why the variants are considered to be extremely durable and reliable for good reason. Because the choice of different candle filter can seem almost endless, it is important to have the right specialist at your side. Wiremesh-ProTec is the right team when it comes to high-quality filter technology for your company.
