How Filter Elements Work – Part 2
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…

Why Specify Classic Filters Coalescing Filter Elements?
Fibrous filters, especially those manufactured by Classic Filters from borosilicate glass microfibers, are considered to be the most ideal filter media for the removal of liquid aerosols from gases – this is called coalescing filter. Borosilicate Glass Microfibers for Coalescing Filters Borosilicate glass microfibers are naturally hydrophobic and do not adsorb liquid – the aerosols…

When to change a filter element?
As the filter starts to work solids are removed by the microfibres and the porous structure of the filter element is slowly filled. This will increase the pressure drop across the filter element. The disposable filter elements are designed to have an initial pressure drop of 0.1 bar when used on gas applications. Our disposable bonded microfibre…

Reclaiming precious metals with a liquid filter
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…

Is your compressed air filtration system costing you money?
Generally engineers required to install a filter on a pressurised fluid system will go for the cheapest possible option. More often than not this will also be a sintered powder or granule filter element where it can be cleaned out and the element doesn’t need replaced very often. What is wrong with a sintered powder…

Can we not just use a mesh filter?
Anyone who has seen filters in action will know it is not an uncommon sight to find filters fitted with a simple gauze filter element. But what happens when a mesh filter is just not enough? These kind of filters are only intended for stopping large particles, they are often used in lines where scale,…

Support Cores and their use with liquid filtration and coalescing
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…

How to save a robot from drowning with the use of a filter
A packaging company recently came to us with a problem to do with their air operated process picking arms. At their packaging plant due to limited space and complicated routing of compressed air lines – which are notoriously wet and dirty – water was swamping the filters and travelling straight to the robotic process picking…

Borosilicate Glass Microfibre Filter Elements – what are they and why are they so special?
What is a borosilicate glass microfiber element? Borosilicate glass is known and used quite extensively throughout the glass industry, specifically for laboratory glassware, being made from Boron and Silica, and the microfibers are what they say they are, very fine fibre of specific diameters and lengths blended and formed in a specific manor to produce…
