Polymers like PET, polyester, polycarbonate, polyurethane, & nylon contain impure particles. High-quality polymer filters are used in purifying these particles, ensuring a clean & consistent melt. Various filtration systems, including continuous polymer filters, candle filters & 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.
Converting raw polymer materials into the final product, one of the techniques used is called polymer processing. In this method polymer materials are shaped into fibers or complex components by using methods like extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming & compression molding. The main objective of using this method is to deliver the final product for use in the packaging, automotive, textile & construction industries.
Kumar Process Consultants offers polymeric filters to maintain the high melt quality to support polymer filtration. We provide 3 types of filters to use in the polymer filtration process to ensure extended equipment life and improved production efficiency.
Polymer candle filters are constructed by using metal filtration media like sintered metal fiber or woven mesh & are available in pleated & cylindrical designs.
These are manufactured by using stainless steel & high temperature alloy material to provide excellent mechanical properties in polymer processing technique. They are designed in multilayer structure to ensure uniform filtration with low pressure drop.
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.
To use polymeric filters in the filtration process, consider factors like chemical composition of liquid, filtration efficiency & operating conditions. Selecting the right filer media based on your application needs such as extrusion of injection molding. We offer various filter media for the polymer filtration process.
These filters have chemical resistance & high temperature capability to filter aggressive polymers & prevent contamination from moisture.
Due to the key feature of high dirt-holding capacity they are used pre filtration. They help in removing contaminants before the polymer reaches finer filtration stages.
These durable and reusable mesh bags efficiently capture solid impurities from liquid polymers while maintaining a steady flow.
These bag filters remove large particles, dust, and fibers, preventing clogging and degradation of finer polymeric filters.
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
Polypropylene, polyethylene, PTFE & nylon materials are used to design polymeric filters. This system filters a huge spectrum of liquids & gases.
When compared to metals or ceramics, polymer filters are lighter. They can install & maintain easily, resulting in long lasting service life. These filters are more corrosion resistant than others.
These filters are used to filter out the chemical substances. To ensure the safety of drinks by removing harmful contaminants in food or beverages.
The filter also needs to be replaced at certain intervals. Replacing the filter at the correct time is necessary; if it is not done, the filter becomes overrun with sludge, which accumulates at the base of the filter.
Polymeric filters work on the principle of capturing contaminants to allow clean liquid & gas to pass through. The efficiency of the filtration solution can be adjusted by using different filter materials & pore sizes.
