Polymer Candle Filter is designed and developed to remove impurities such as gels and other solid infiltrates from polymer melt in chemical fiber, textiles and plastic industries.
These filters are exposed to High Temperatures and Pressure. The strength and performance of the filter are very critical to the application as the complete process of producing fiber or yarn is dependent on these filters.
Types of Polymer Candle Filter
a) Pleated Wire Mesh Candle Filter
b) Pleated Sintered Fibre Candle Filter
Nomenclature of Pleated Candle Filter
Adaptor: The adaptor also known as the filter core, provides the necessary strength to the filter. Mostly the flow of liquid is IN to OUT. The fluid enters the filter through the adapter Bush and passes from the adapter core to the filtration media.
Perforated Guard: It protects the wire mesh from getting punched in material handling. A tiny puncher in material handling can lead to the failure of the filter.
Support Mesh: The final filtration mesh is delicate and has a sufficient aperture size, so to avoid damage and temporary blockage of the fine mesh, it’s preferable to give a support layer at the top and bottom.
Reducer: It helps in evenly distributing the molten liquid inside the filter body.
