Stainless Steel Filter Cartridges

Stainless steel cartridges are used ideally for corrosive applications, high-temperature applications and where robustness is desired. They are constructed entirely from SS 316 or SS 316L stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance.

SS filter cartridges address the limitations of synthetic and fabric media in terms of temperature and chemical compatibility. They are available in multiple formats including a pleated version. Powder sintered filters can be moulded as per requirement, while multilayered sintered filters also can be formed in customized shapes to a large extent. Most cylindrical and pleated filters come with a coarser media layer for added protection against damage during process upsets. Stainless steel cartridges can be cleaned and reused, reducing waste and lowering long-term costs. They are easy to clean and can be reused by washing with pressurized air, water, or the filtered fluid itself.

Our Multilayered sintered stainless steel 316 filter cartridges utilize five layers of sintered wire cloth, offering filtration ratings ranging from 2 microns to 100 microns. This unique structure delivers exceptional micron filtering, high permeability, and robust strength for effortless cleaning.

Types of SS Filter Cartridges

Powder Sintered

SS sintered filter cartridge

SS Powder Sintered filters are mainly used for filtration of harsh fluids and can be utilized in high temperature conditions as well. Special materials like Hastelloy X can be made use of to fabricate such filters. The sintered metal powder forms a porous structure that traps particles as small as 0.2 microns with exceptional efficiency. Sintered Powdered Filter Cartridges are renowned for their exceptional filtration efficiency and reusability. These SS filter cartridges are constructed from 316/316L grade stainless steel.

Pleated

SS Pleated Filter Cartridge

SS Pleated filter cartridges are the perfect choice for high temperature (250°C & above) & high viscosity applications. These filters are Constructed from SS 304, SS 316, or SS 316L for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The pleated design results in a larger filtration area. Due to the capacity of high dirt, holding can be extensively used between cleaning cycles. They eliminate frequent cartridge replacements, ensuring operational efficiency and cost savings. Withstanding temperatures up to 250°C and above. Available in various lengths, diameters, and configurations to suit specific needs.

Fibre Felt

Fibre Felt

SS fiber felt filter cartridges are a type of industrial filter used to remove particles from liquids or gases. They are made from stainless steel fibers that are sintered together to form a felt-like material. This material is highly porous, which allows it to trap particles while still allowing fluids to flow through. SS fiber felt filter cartridges are known for their high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. SS Sintered Metal Fiber Filter Cartridges offering superior dirt holding capacity and extended service life.

Multilayered Sintered

Multilayered Sintered

Sintered multilayered SS filter cartridges are meticulously crafted from various wire mesh layers fused together. This intricate process creates a rigid pore structure with controlled porosity for exceptional filtration performance. Safeguarding your system from harmful microorganisms. Compatible with diverse chemical environments. The multilayered mesh structure captures particles down to the specified micron rating with exceptional consistency. Sintered Mesh filter cartridges utilize a unique five-layer sintered composite mesh structure, offering both exceptional filtration efficiency and unmatched strength. Custom mesh structures can be offered on demand.

Industries where SS Filter Cartridges are used

Chemical:

These filters are the workhorse filters of the Chemical processing industry, as they are compatible with a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including most solvents, some acids and some alkalis.

Cosmetic:

High-strength stainless steels are ideal for applications involving high-density fluids because of their ability to withstand the high pressures required for efficient flow.

Pharmaceutical:

SS316 filters do not corrode in aqueous environment, and can be steam sterilized easily. These features make them an ideal choice for filtration in the pharmaceutical industry.

Food & Beverages

It is used to clarify, filter and smooth liquids such as water, juice and beer. They are also used as spargers in the soft drinks and beer industries.
