Applications & Maintenance
What contaminants can a magnetic filter remove?
Magnetic filters are primarily designed to capture ferromagnetic contaminants from liquid and semi-fluid process materials.
They can be used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and fine-chemical processing applications where iron contamination needs to be controlled.
Can your filters handle high-viscosity liquids?
Yes. Different filtration configurations can be selected for viscous liquids according to viscosity, temperature, flow rate, and solids content.
For media whose viscosity changes significantly with temperature, a jacketed filter can help maintain the required process temperature. Typical applications include honey, syrup, resin, ink, and lubricating oil.
Can reusable filter elements be cleaned and used again?
Yes. Certain filter elements are designed for cleaning and reuse.
For example, stainless steel sintered mesh cartridges can be cleaned by backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical cleaning, while titanium rod filter elements can also be washed and reused.
How often should filter bags or cartridges be replaced?
There is no single fixed replacement interval. Service life depends on solids loading, particle size, filtration accuracy, flow rate, viscosity, pressure differential, and operating time.
Filter bags or cartridges should therefore be inspected and replaced according to actual operating conditions and filtration performance.
