Filtrations are basic operations for the separation of solids from liquids or gases by deposition at surfaces of filter materials in the laboratory as well as in many industrial sectors. The materials serve either the extraction of solids from the liquids or gases carrying them or they are used for the purification. This includes the clear filtration of liquids and the removal of dusts and other solid particles from gases.
The effectiveness of any filtration is directly dependent on the available surface for the separation of solids. Another important factor is also the retention time of the polluted medium on the filter material. This applies in particular to the particle filtration of flowing media which is required for the purification of liquids and gases during running processes.
RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik offers economical complete solutions with highly efficient yarn wound filters for the continuous particle filtration of fluids and gases. Such filters consist of special yarns which are wound around an inert supporting core and realize both a large available surface and the long retention time of the medium to be purified on the filter due to their unique winding pattern. A noticeable special feature of yarn wound filters are the almost consistently high flow rates even with highly polluted media until the filter saturation is reached.
Yarn wound filters for the continuous particle filtration of fluids and gases are inserted into pressure-proof screw-mountable filter housings developed for this purpose, which allow the quick change of the filter element without any problems in the case of its exhaustion. These completed yarn wound filter systems can be permanently integrated in 3/8" or 3/4" pipes by means of NPT pipe connections.
RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik provides particularly suitable high-quality yarn wound filter elements with graded nominal widths for the particle retention between 0.5 μm and 100 μm for chemical-technical and bioengineering application areas, as well as for the beverage industry. They are optionally equipped with cotton, viscose or polypropylene yarns and polypropylene or stainless steel support elements and, depending on the filter size, are available for flow rates between 25 l/h and 2,000 l/h. In addition, filter housings made of blue coloured polypropylene (PP) or housings made of transparent styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) are available with seals made of proven nitrile rubber (NBR) and for operating pressures up to 10 bar. Besides these two standard versions RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik also offers filter housings made of stable, black coloured polyamide (PA 6) for operating pressures up to 19 bar.
Detailed information about the whole delivery program for yarn wound filter elements as well as the matching filter housings you will find in our handbook THOMAPOR® (Filtration).
