Frequently Asked Questions - Industrial Liquid Filters
What is the difference between depth filters and pleated liquid filters?
Depth filters capture contaminants throughout the entire media thickness, making them ideal for high dirt-loading applications and pre-filtration. They excel in removing variable particle sizes and can handle turbid liquids. Pleated filters use surface filtration with a larger effective surface area, providing precise particle removal ratings and longer service life in cleaner applications. Choose depth filters for challenging feed streams and pleated for final polishing filtration.
Which liquid filters technology is best for pharmaceutical sterile filtration?
For pharmaceutical applications, PES (polyethersulfone) membranes from our ZTEC™ series offer the optimal balance of bacterial retention (>10⁷ reduction of B. diminuta), low protein binding, and broad chemical compatibility. For aggressive solvents or extreme pH conditions, PTFE membranes (TefTEC™ series) provide superior chemical resistance while maintaining sterile filtration capabilities. Both technologies meet FDA and USP Class VI requirements.
Do you manufacture cartridges for industrial water treatment and RO systems?
Yes, we specialize in industrial-grade water treatment cartridges including RO pre-filtration, condensate polishing, and multi-stage water purification systems. Our high-flow cartridges can handle up to 1,500 GPM per element, significantly reducing housing footprints.
What makes resin bonded filters suitable for chemical processing?
Resin bonded filters (PMC®, PMG™, PME™, PMA™) use thermoplastic binders that provide exceptional chemical resistance to solvents, acids, bases, and aggressive chemicals. The graduated density structure ensures optimal particle loading throughout the media depth. These filters maintain structural integrity at elevated temperatures and can handle viscous fluids that would blind surface-type filters.
Can Graver Technologies design custom filtration solutions?
Absolutely. Our engineering team specializes in custom filter design for unique industrial processes. We can modify media formulations, optimize cartridge dimensions, develop specialized end caps and gaskets, and create application-specific filtration solutions. Our R&D capabilities include pilot testing, validation support, and scale-up assistance. Contact our technical team to discuss your specific requirements.
