We reconvene our two part guide on how Filter Elements work by explaining the science behind their success. Here we explain how filter elements that separate solid particles and liquid aerosols from a gas use a combination of different physical principles to help get the gas as pure as possible. Filtration makes use of – Brownian…
Need to filter iron oxides from water? We have had a number of projects where a magnet has been incorporated into a filter housing. Our most interesting has both a filter element and a magnet. The filter element is typically a stainless steel mesh and removes the bulk of the coarser particles and the magnet…
An application which is becoming ever more popular is the reclamation of precious metals with the use of our liquid filters. This is often from plating processes, but also can be from machining and other production methods where small particles of precious metals are held in a liquid suspension. If the metals to be recovered…
From time to time we get asked to help our distributors and their customers overcome a problem that they have struggled to overcome themselves. One of our distributors asked us to help by designing a new product to overcome an air lock problem. This blog posts looks at how working with our distributor network allows…
In normal operational use the borosilicate glass microfibre filter element is perfectly strong enough for most applications and if the element is in an application where it remains dry it is fairly rare that it would need any kind of support. The main problems that can be seen are when disposable type microfibre elements are…
We recently had an unusual application for our filter solutions in the food industry – cleaning salad! When salad arrives to be packed it is in a wash of chlorine, this is mostly to stop the growth of mould but also to kill bacteria and insects.Before the salad can be packed for the supermarket shelf,…
