Polymers like PET, polyester, polycarbonate, polyurethane, and nylon often contain unwanted particulates and impurities. High-quality polymer filters play a crucial role in purifying these materials, ensuring a clean and consistent melt. Various filtration systems, including continuous polymer filters, candle filters, and duplex filters, feature durable metal housings and advanced filter media. These systems efficiently handle high-viscosity polymers, providing long-lasting filtration performance for industrial applications.
At Kumar Process Consultants, offers a comprehensive range of polymer filters designed for efficient filtration in polymer processing industries. Our advanced filtration solutions help remove contaminants, ensuring high-quality polymer melts for applications like synthetic fibers, films, and resins.
We consider your entire process and offer the best solution with regards to both, CAPEX and OPEX. A correct choice of disposable and reusable filters can save your company a lot of money in the long run. Additionally, our team is able to recommend the correct materials to be used for the filters, so that filter bypass is eliminated due to dissolution/softening of the polymeric materials or due to swelling of the sealing gaskets.
We provide candle filters, single layer filter discs, polymer leaf discs, sintered metal filters, and custom filtration systems tailored to meet industry demands. With durable stainless steel construction and precision-engineered filter media, our solutions enhance product quality, improve production efficiency, and reduce operational costs.
Kumar Process offers a wide range of polymer filters designed for high-efficiency filtration in polymer processing. Our advanced filtration solutions ensure superior melt quality, extended equipment life, and improved production efficiency.
Candle filters are ideal for high-viscosity polymer filtration, providing efficient contaminant removal and extended service life. Available in pleated and cylindrical designs, these filters are made from sintered metal fiber or woven mesh, ensuring durability and superior filtration performance.
Sintered filter discs are multi-layered metal media filters that ensure uniform filtration with low pressure drop. Manufactured using stainless steel and high-temperature alloys, these discs provide excellent thermal and mechanical stability for continuous polymer processing.
Metal powder filters are designed using stainless steel alloy powder particles, offering high porosity (up to 80%) for efficient polymer gel removal. Their strong chemical and thermal resistance makes them ideal for demanding polymer filtration applications.
Choosing the right polymeric filter depends on various factors, including the chemistry of the fluid to be filtered, the desired level of filtration, and the operating conditions. With the proper selection and implementation, polymeric filters can significantly contribute to a successful r filtration process.
Made from Teflon (PTFE), these filters are chemical-resistant, durable, and hydrophobic, allowing air and gas flow while repelling water. They withstand high temperatures and offer low-binding, high-porosity filtration for industrial and lab use.
Cost-effective polypropylene (PP) filters provide chemical resistance, thermal stability, and high dirt-holding capacity. Ideal for pre-filtration, water clarification, and food processing, they ensure efficient contaminant removal.
Durable nylon mesh bags effectively capture particles while allowing liquid flow. Reusable and customizable, they suit chemical, food, and water filtration applications, offering a versatile, cost-effective solution.
Cotton filter bags offer the best pre-filtration solution for polymeric filtration systems. These filters effectively capture large particles such as dust, debris, and fibers, protecting finer polymeric filter media from clogging and degradation
Efficient filtration minimizes downtime and production bottlenecks.
Lower filter OPEX costs compared to stainless steel filters, if the particle content in your incoming stream is low
Membrane filters made out of polymers such as PTFE/PES are integrity-testable, which makes them the only type of testable absolute filter, essential for pharmaceuticals.
With high porosity and strength, it ensures superior dirt-holding and gel shearing for long-lasting performance.
Owing to their inexpensive nature, they are a first choice for many customers looking for prefiltration or to filter out impurities in low value products. Some applications are listed below:
Side stream filters for cooling towers
Prefilters for RO systems
Capturing powders in nutraceutical manufacturing
Polymer filters remove impurities from liquids or gases in industries like water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food processing
They are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and customizable for various filtration needs.
They are used in chemical processing, healthcare, food & beverage, and environmental protection industries.
Regular cleaning with flushing or chemical methods and periodic replacement ensure optimal performance.
They trap contaminants using porous materials, allowing only clean liquids or gases to pass through.
