Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the filtration accuracy of this element?
This filter element has an absolute filtration rating of 0.5 micron, meaning it can capture particles as small as 0.5 micrometers. It is effective for removing fine sediments, bacteria, and other contaminants in food and beverage processing.
2. Is the 316L stainless steel material safe for food contact?
Yes, 316L stainless steel is widely used in the food and beverage industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance and non-reactive properties. It is commonly accepted for direct food contact applications. We can provide FDA-compliant materials upon request.
3. Can this filter element be cleaned and reused?
Absolutely. The stainless steel pleated design is robust and can be cleaned using backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical cleaning methods. Proper cleaning can significantly extend its service life, making it a cost-effective solution.
4. What are the available seal materials?
We offer standard seals in EPDM, Silicone, and Viton. Each material suits different temperature ranges and chemical compatibilities. For example, Viton is recommended for high-temperature applications (up to 200°C), while EPDM is good for general food-grade use.
5. Do you offer customized sizes?
Yes, we can customize the length, outer diameter, end cap type, and seal material to match your specific filter housing. Please provide your housing dimensions and operating conditions, and we will design a suitable element.
6. What is the maximum operating temperature and pressure?
The maximum operating temperature depends on the seal material: up to 200°C with Viton. The pressure rating is up to 30 bar at 20°C (lower at higher temperatures). Always consult our technical data for exact limits under your specific conditions.
7. Is this filter element suitable for viscous liquids like syrup or honey?
Yes, the pleated design provides a large surface area, which helps maintain flow even with slightly viscous liquids. However, we recommend testing under your actual process conditions. For very high viscosity, we can suggest alternative designs.
8. What certifications does your product have?
Our product line has undergone internal quality testing and meets industry standards for food safety. We can provide material certificates and test reports. For specific certifications (e.g., FDA, 3-A), please discuss your requirements with our sales team, as we can source compliance documentation as needed.
