Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between a sintered stainless steel filter and a woven mesh filter?
A: Sintered filters are made by bonding multiple layers of stainless steel mesh through high-temperature and pressure, creating a rigid, porous structure with higher dirt-holding capacity and better resistance to backwashing. Woven mesh filters are typically single-layer and less robust for high-pressure or CIP applications. -
Q: Can this cartridge be used for sterilization?
A: Yes, the 304 stainless steel material can withstand steam sterilization at 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes, making it suitable for aseptic processes in the beverage industry. -
Q: How often should I clean the cartridge?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on the solid load. Typically, backwashing or CIP cleaning is performed when the differential pressure reaches 1.5-2 bar. Under normal conditions, cleaning every 1-2 weeks is common, but this can vary. -
Q: Do you provide custom sizes or end cap configurations?
A: Absolutely. We can customize the outer diameter, length, and end cap type (DOE, 222, 226, 213, etc.) to fit your existing housing. Please provide your housing specifications for a custom solution. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this cartridge?
A: With proper cleaning and in normal service conditions, the cartridge can last 1-3 years. The sintered structure is durable and can withstand repeated cleaning cycles without significant degradation. -
Q: Is this product food-grade certified?
A: Our 304 stainless steel material is food-grade compliant. We can provide material test reports (MTR) and, upon request, additional certifications such as FDA or EU 1935/2004. Please contact us for specific documentation. -
Q: Can I request a sample before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer samples for testing. Sample cost is applicable and shipping is at your expense. After order confirmation, the sample cost will be deducted from the first bulk order. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, the MOQ is 10 pieces. For custom specifications, MOQ may vary. Please consult our sales team for details.
