316L Stainless Steel Corrugated Filter Element 50 Micron for Food Processing
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer established in 1998 with an annual export value of US$5–10 million. Our 316L Stainless Steel Corrugated Filter Element – 50 Micron is specifically engineered for demanding food processing applications, delivering reliable filtration, long service life, and compliance with food-grade standards. With decades of expertise in wire mesh and filtration products, we have supplied this solution to markets across North America, South America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Oceania, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
This corrugated filter element is crafted from premium 316L stainless steel, which offers superior corrosion resistance against acidic and alkaline fluids commonly found in food processing, such as fruit juices, dairy products, edible oils, and beverages. The 50-micron filtration rating effectively removes solid particles, sediments, and impurities while maintaining high flow rates, improving product purity and process efficiency.
The corrugated (pleated) design significantly increases the effective filtration surface area within a compact footprint, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and longer operational intervals between cleaning or replacement. The element is available in various lengths, diameters, end cap configurations, and sealing options to fit standard or custom housings.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Material Excellence: 316L stainless steel offers excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in food-contact environments.
- High Filtration Efficiency: 50 micron absolute or nominal rating (customizable upon request) ensures reliable removal of fine particles.
- Corrugated Structure: Increases surface area by up to 300% compared to flat mesh, reducing pressure drop and extending service life.
- Food-Grade Compatibility: Suitable for direct contact with food products; meets FDA and EU food contact material requirements (please confirm with your local regulations).
- Reusable & Cleanable: The element can be backwashed, ultrasonically cleaned, or chemically cleaned, reducing replacement costs.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in lengths from 10" to 40", outer diameters 2" to 6", with various end cap styles (open, closed, flange, thread).
- Wide Temperature Range: Operates effectively from -20°C to 400°C, suitable for hot CIP (Clean-in-Place) processes.
- Robust Construction: Welded and bonded without any media migration, ensuring no fiber shedding into the product.
