Liquid filtration is an important step in many industrial and manufacturing processes. Whatever your application, process filtration technology can be used to successfully remove unwanted particles and microorganisms from liquids and fluids. The challenge is to achieve the best quality standards with a low total cost of ownership while reducing waste and ensuring the safety of operators. 

Viscosity plays an important role in filtration because it impacts the speed at which the fluid can be pushed through a filter to remove contaminants.

How Does Viscosity Impact Filtration?

Viscosity plays an important role in filtration because it impacts the speed at which the fluid can be pushed through a filter to remove contaminants. As fluid viscosity increases, the flow rate that is through a filter must be decreased. This is because higher-viscosity fluids have a higher resistance to flow resulting in a higher pressure drop and shorter filter life. Selecting a filter with a larger micron size will help decrease the pressure drop since there will be less resistance moving through the filter.

How to filter low-viscosity liquids?

Self Cleaning Filters and Cartridge Filter Housing is a simple, efficient, and flexible industrial filtration system. 

These filter elements of Cartridge Filter Housing can be constructed from many different materials, such as sinter, stainless steel wire mesh, wedge wire, and more, are available in a range of sizes and can be used to filter nearly every type of solid contaminant from nearly every type of liquid.  

How to filter medium-viscosity liquids?

For varnishes, industrial paints, chemicals,  Honey, molasses, melted chocolate, and other medium-viscosity liquids, the bag filter housing is a simple, efficient, and flexible industrial filtration system. With a simple bag change, filtration ratings from 1 micron to 2000 microns can be changed in a few minutes.

How to filter Very high-viscosity liquids?

The automatic self-cleaning filter starts when all others stop. This means that this extremely robust, simple, and efficient filter finds its applications when the gravity filter or the bag filter cannot filter.
