Candle Filters

Candle Filters

Candle filters are available in both cylindrical and pleated configurations, designed to meet industry standards or customized to suit specific housing requirements. They come in materials such as sintered metal fiber and woven wire mesh.

With filtration ratings ranging from 3 to 100 microns, these filters are typically supplied with an outer guard to safeguard the media and facilitate reverse flow during cleaning. The design ensures compatibility with modern cleaning technologies, making maintenance straightforward.

To optimize performance, all candle filters feature internal volume reducers that eliminate stagnant flow regions. Flow diverters within the reducers ensure uniform distribution of the polymer as it enters the housing.

Our stainless steel fiber media, known for its exceptional strength and permeability, ensures low initial pressure drops and extended operational life, making these filters a reliable choice for demanding filtration applications.
