Product Profile of Inline Conical Filters

Kumar ultrafine filters produces a wide range of specialty filters for cost effective and fine filtration of liquids, air and gases in the process and pharma industries as well as research centres. The air and gas series include a range of high efficiency oil/dirt removing coalesces, air sterilization filters and general purpose air/gas filters. Among the liquid filtration series are continuous wound depth filters, pleated membranes, sintered metals and so on, which are compatible with almost all the industrial liquids and solvents.

The company also specializes in few patented conical filters for hplc and several small volume continuous filtration needs.

Kumar in line conical filters are `user friendly` designs created by the technical experts of the company. In line conical filter is designed as the most cost effective alternative to conventional double cone sintered glass filters currently being used by the pharma industry. These filters, in fact, are so unique that this design has been patented and widely used all over india as effective replacement for such glass filters.

Salient features of filters are as follows: -

• Wide choice of porosity ratings from 100 to 0.5 microns which can be used interchangeably in the same housing to suit applications requiring different filtration grades. The housings can be easily dismantled and assembled for easy replacement of discs to take such eventualities.

• Special `envelop gasket` prevents bypass at pressures as high as 150 psi. The gaskets are offered in various materials like silicone, epdm, viton, etc., to ensure trouble free operation even with a wide range of solvents and can withstand in-situ steam sterilisations at 125° c.

• The filters can be easily cleaned, as the filter discs can be easily removed and subjected to simple cleaning methods involving less hazardous dilute acids/solvents unlike strong oxidising acids like chromic acids used for cleaning gas filters.

• The `unbreakability` feature is also a boon for faraway places which either may not have immediate replacements for glass filters in the event of breakages or may have to hold a substantial stock of the same. In line conical filters being unbreakable and regenerable, do not pose such a problem to the users.
