Vacuum line filters

Vacuum suction line filters are typically offered to prevent particulates from being sucked into the air suction line of the vacuum pump . In the absence of filters, the particles tend to damage the internal components of the vacuum pump.

Our vacuum suction filter also offers cleanable pleated sintered SS316 fiber felt filter cartridges. These cartridges can be cleaned with solvents and reused for an extended period. Manufactured without the use of any adhesive or resin, they feature an entirely welded construction for durability and reliability.

Alternatively, our vacuum filter systems typically come equipped with pleated polyester filter media cartridges, which require replacement when clogged. Alternatively, these cartridges can be provided with anti-static polyester filter media, particularly suitable for handling powders.

Both the pleated polyester & pleated sintered SS316 fiber felt cartridges have extended filtration area, which ensures lower differential pressure & higher flow rates. Our vacuum line filter housings are offered in SS304 / SS316 for general applications & MS polymer coated contact surfaces for corrosive gas applications.

Vacuum filtration systems, also known as suction filtration, involves separating solids from liquids using a filter element. The vacuum generates a force that draws the liquid through the filter, while the solids accumulate on the outer surface of the filter. Additionally, vacuum assistance enhances dryness levels, leading to improved yield. This filtration method finds application in both laboratory and full-scale production settings.

How to use filters for vacuum pumps?

Using Filters for vacuum pumps involves two main aspects: choosing the right filter and maintaining it properly. Here's a breakdown:
Choosing the Right Filter:

Identify the type of filter needed:

There are two main types:

  • Intake filters: These protect the pump from contaminants entering the air stream. Choose based on the size and type of particles you want to trap (dust, moisture, etc.).
  • Exhaust filters: These prevent oil mist and other contaminants from being released into the environment. Choose based on the type of oil used in your pump and the required level of filtration.

Consider the flow rate:

Ensure the filter's capacity matches the pump's flow rate to avoid restricting airflow and reducing performance.

Match the filter media to your application:

Different materials like paper, mesh, or activated carbon offer varying levels of filtration and compatibility with different substances.

Maintaining the Vacuum Filters Systems:

Regularly check and clean the filters.

Follow the proper instructions for cleaning intervals and methods. Clogged filters reduce efficiency and can damage the pump.

Replace filters when necessary

Don't wait for complete blockage; replace them as per the recommended schedule or when they show signs of wear or saturation.

Dispose of used filters properly

Follow local regulations and safety guidelines for disposal, especially for oil-contaminated filters.


Why to Choose Kumar Process consultants for Vacuum Filtration Systems

Our sintered fiber felt cartridges offer multiple advantages over the conventional polyester fiber cartridges.

Fully welded construction: No bypass possible

High temperature operation: Completely made of Stainless steel – can operate up to 400 C continuously

Regenerable: Our filters, once choked, can be cleaned from the downstream side by using a pulse of pressurized air, without any fear of tearing the filter media. This is not the case with polyester or paper media.

Water content: Can tolerate any degree of moisture in the incoming vacuum stream without any fear of damage to the filter media.

Our units are appropriately sized for the process parameters of our clients, resulting in systems that function freely for many years.
