Metallic Filters – Sintered metal filter powder or fibre media , wedge screens or mesh laminates are being used in industry and are making inroads into many applications as there is increasing concern about environmental issues. The Polymeric conventional filtration systems based on disposable filters are losing grounds, particularly as disposal costs are increasing and its becoming mandatory to keep pollution under control.

The  precision  sintered family of filter elements are manufactured by co-axial pressing.  A wide range of different geometries can be obtained by means of this pressing process. The pore size is made to measure from 0.5 µm to 200 µm. Sintering turns elements into dimensionally stable, metallurgically  strong components which can be used as self-supporting constructional elements. The pores are fixed in terms of size and position. A special production technique allows the joining between porous and solid materials in a compacting process, resulting in so-called filter modules.   Applications Flow Restrictors Flame arrestors Sensor Protection Automotive Components Pneumatic Silencers Oil Burners Feature and Advantages Chemical Resistance and Thermal Stability : The chemical and thermal characteristics of sinter metals are the same as those of the solid materials used. However, the size of the specific surface area should be taken into account when assessing the chemical properties of any high-porosity component (sinter metal). Process Operation The pore size and structure determines the flow pattern desired by different applications. The gas / liquid flows through the porous matrix and based on the functionality the media takes active part in the process. Technical Specification AXIAL sintered products are  manufactured from the following materials: Stainless steels 1.4404 (AISI 316 L / B), 1.4306 (AISI 304 L), 1.4539 Titanium Monel Inconel 600 / 625 Hastelloy C 22, C 276 and X Special materials

New Design MSDF is a development moving away from conventional cross flow filtration towards spin filtration. The advantages of spin disk  filtration lies  in the improved cleaning  effect on the filter surface at a reduced energy cost.     Applications  Chemical Pharmaceutical Industry Organic solvents colour removal Activated Carbon filtration Biotechnology Enzyme concentration, diafiltration Yeast recovery and concentration Cell separation Protein concentration Bioethanol Microfiltration of cellulose Food Technology Beer, wine clarification Tomato puree Haze Removal Sparging Paper Industry Resource recycling Closed loop techniques Sieve water paper mills Paints, pigments , adhesives Pigments desalting Solvent recycle Lacquer de-watering Water soluble glue concentration Metal-Working Industry Cooling lubricants Cleaning units Emulsions, suspensions Aluminum swarf water Waste Water Treatment Digested sludge Water recycling MBR / aeration Sparging Features and Benefits High temperature resistance (0-130 ºC) with varied range of membranes starting from Polymers to Ceramic to SS membranes Broad pH range (0-14) Resistance to aggressive solvents, oxidants and most chemicals Steam Sterilization (autoclave, oxidant, etc.) Extremely high cross flow velocities – with no filter blocking Reduced energy costs compared to conventional cross flow systems Modular design with large scalability options Repeatability in fluxes Excellent mechanical resistance (High Solid loading) Process Operation Prerequisite for a continuous filtration method is how to avoid filter media blocking by  preventing the formation of a secondary resistive  layer on the filter media surface (filter cake). This always requires continuous cleaning of the filter surface during the process. Conventionally this is being done with tangential or cross flow technologies with high velocity flows. The shear forces that occurred this way prevented the formation of a filter cake. In order to achieve this cross flow effect, it used to be necessary to move high liquid volumes with powerful pumps. The excellent filtration capacities were offset by high energy costs. Dynamic cross flow methods work with much less energy consumption. The relative motion between the medium to be filtered and the filter is not generated by pumps but instead by the rotation of the filter elements  or a rotation of flow disrupters. MSDF membrane systems  operate using  membrane disks of different  MOC  that are configured  in modular stack mode on a rotating shaft.  That separation technology purely relies on the differences in physical sizes in the MF range and in the molecular weight (size) of the individual components when processing in the MF and UF range.  The membrane pore is a safe barrier for any insoluble matter (i.e. protein complexes if any,  triglycerides, fats, oils, bacteria, colloidal matter, fibres etc) irrespective of the incoming concentrations. The selection of the right membrane or filter media is more from experience of working in similar applications.

The flow of liquids can be from either inside-to- out or outside-to-in depending on the type of configuration chosen.   Technical Specification   Micron Ratings : 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 Microns Size : 250, 500, 750, 1000 mm, 1500 mm seamless designs End Connection : Double ‘O’ Ring, Flat Gasket, Threaded, or as per design Outer Diameters : 25 – 300  mm – or suitable as per requirement – specials also possible on quantity orders Material Of Constructions: SS, Polymers,  Alloy Steels, Special alloys Inconel, Hastealloy etc. Any dimension made available on specific order Grades Available :  IS   – Iso-Static compressed  sinter Powder filters, AS -Asymmetric Membrane two layers sintered powder filter element, Fabric Media,  Wedge Wire,  Ceramic, Polymeric etc.    Candle Filter Continuous Filtration General Filtration Metallic Filters Modular Spin Disk Filter MSDF NanO-Cavitation Precision Sintered Process Membrane Systems Spargers – Gas Liquid Inteface Applications Precious Metal Catalyst Recovery Activated Carbon Filtration  

Automation Grade : Automatic

API , Chemical, Sugar and Pharmaceutical manufacturing use Activated carbon. Specific activated carbons provide superior removal of colour compounds, odour compounds, proteins and other contaminants that could be present in the raw materials, or that form during production.  Removal of these carbon particles from final product is a daily chore at these facilities.  Contufilt – M is an outside-in candle filtration process  for polishing and removing activated carbon  from slurries. The systems are back washable and easy to use and maintain.   Applications API and Pharmaceutical solutions Slurry Oil Filtration  Sugar Syrup Filtration Refined Oil Filtration Feature and Advantages Totally Closed System No manual Handling Defined Micron Retention with Cake Easily Backwashable No Bypass Zero Product Holdup Small System sizing Low Downtime Process Operation The system consists of a number of equally sized pressure vessels each containing an equal area of Sintered fused filter tubes  or Laminates, which  are arranged in triangular pitch or distance suitable for applications. The vessel performs the specific functions of filtration, in-situ reverse flow, gas assisted or filtered liquid backwash discharge of collected dirty cakes. You could also backwash  to re-slurry the  solid cakes for washing and product recovery. The mechanism of filtration is a direct interception of  particles in  solutions  on the surface of the Sintered Fused laminates or tubes. This initial capture starts and enhances the capture of all other particles building a coarse and porous  cake, which enhances the filtration efficiency.  Sometimes to assist the filtration in difficult to filter masses a body feed with the necessary grades of keisulguhr, perlites, Filter-cel are used and then the  ongoing formation of a surface cake continues to build- up to a depth of 10 – 15 mm or greater depending on the cake resistance and characteristic. Complete recovery of liquids is achieved and the particles are purged out of the system without having to open the system. These candle systems are far superior to Plate and frame filter presses, Leaf filters both horizontal and vertical type due to effective cake release, closed system for washing and ability to take high feed pressures. The Fused sintered Tubes  or Laminates  have a open profile and are easy to be backwashed. The backwash filter system is used in slurry de-colorisation using activated carbon polishing filtration in syrups and solutions for improved product quality and reduced operating costs.
