In our company, we are experts in providing customised industrial filtration solutions using cartridge filters, tailored to the needs of each client and sector. Thanks to our experience in the field of industrial engineering, we provide efficient and high-performance filtration systems, focused on ensuring air quality and compliance with the strictest environmental regulations.
Cartridge filters are essential for capturing fine particles in a variety of industrial processes, both in air and liquids. There are different types, each adapted to the specific conditions of the processes and materials being treated. Below, we present some of the most common options:
Cellulose or Paper Cartridge Filters
These cartridges are highly effective for dry dust filtration in general applications. They are made of a layer of paper or cellulose, which allows them to capture medium and coarse particles. Their efficiency and affordable cost make them a popular choice in sectors such as air treatment in industrial ventilation systems or liquid filtration in low-risk applications.
Synthetic Cartridge Filters (Polyester, Polypropylene, etc.)
Filters made from synthetic materials like polyester and polypropylene offer greater resistance to demanding conditions such as humidity and high temperatures. These cartridges are ideal for capturing fine dust and are commonly used in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and automotive. Additionally, their pleated structure maximises the filtration surface, increasing the efficiency of the process.
Fibreglass Cartridge Filters
Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh industrial environments, fibreglass cartridges are suitable for processes with high dust loads or when ultrafine particle filtration is required. They are commonly used in the energy, cement, and metallurgical industries, where large volumes of fine particles are generated at high temperatures. Their construction is durable, with an extended lifespan even in adverse conditions.
HEPA Cartridge Filters
For applications requiring the highest air purity, HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are the ideal choice. These cartridges are capable of capturing up to 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. They are widely used in environments such as clean rooms, pharmaceutical facilities, hospitals, and other applications where contamination control is critical.
Cartridge Filters with Special Coatings
Cartridges with specialised coatings, such as non-stick coatings, are perfect for capturing dust that tends to stick to the filter surfaces. This type of cartridge is used in sectors where the dust is sticky or moist, such as the food industry or certain chemical processes. These filters allow for greater efficiency in particle capture without losing performance due to material accumulation.
Efficient maintenance of cartridge filters is key to prolonging their lifespan and ensuring high performance. To achieve this, the Pulse Jet cleaning system plays a crucial role in optimising the efficiency of the filtration process.
The Pulse Jet is an automatic cleaning system that uses compressed air jets to remove dust and particles accumulated in the filtration cartridges. This cleaning process, which is activated at regular intervals, ensures that the cartridge filter continues to function effectively without the need for frequent replacements or manual interventions.
Operation: During Pulse Jet cleaning, the system injects bursts of compressed air into the cartridge to expel the accumulated dust into the dust collector. This method does not interrupt the filtration process, allowing for continuous and efficient operation.
Benefits: The Pulse Jet system reduces the need for manual maintenance and extends the lifespan of the cartridges. Additionally, by keeping the filters clean, the system ensures that the air or liquid flow remains free from obstructions and that the filtration efficiency does not decrease over time. This results in cost savings and increased production capacity in large-scale industrial facilities.
Cartridge filters are available in various configurations, adapting to a wide range of industrial applications. Key aspects that vary include size, construction shape, and design, allowing the filters to be customised according to the client's specifications and process conditions.
Sizes: Cartridge filters can be manufactured in a wide variety of sizes, from small cartridges for low-flow applications to high-capacity filters for industrial plants. Depending on the volume of air or liquid to be filtered, the size and number of cartridges are adjusted to optimise system performance.
Construction Shapes: Cartridges generally have a cylindrical shape, but they can also be designed in pleated formats or other configurations depending on the filtration system’s needs. The pleated shape, for example, increases the filtration surface, allowing for greater particle retention without increasing the overall size of the cartridge.
Modular Design: Many cartridge filtration systems are built with a modular structure, making it easier to expand or modify the system as filtration needs change. This modular approach is ideal for industrial applications where filtration requirements may vary over time.
Cartridge filters are used in a wide variety of industries due to their versatility, efficiency, and ability to adapt to different types of contaminants. Some of the sectors where these filters are most commonly used include:
Food and Pharmaceutical Industry: In these sectors, HEPA cartridge filters and synthetic filters are essential for maintaining high standards of air purity and preventing product contamination. They are used in ventilation systems and production processes where a contaminant-free environment is required.
Chemical and Petrochemical Industry: Cartridge filters resistant to chemicals and featuring specialised coatings are ideal for capturing fine dust and vapours generated during the manufacturing processes and handling of chemicals. These filters help maintain air quality in plants and ensure worker safety.
Automotive Industry: In the automotive industry, cartridge filters are used in dust extraction systems for painting, sanding, and assembly processes. Fibreglass or synthetic material cartridges are ideal for these applications due to their durability and efficiency.
Power Generation and Biomass: In power plants, especially those using biomass as a fuel source, cartridge filters are essential for controlling fine particle emissions generated during combustion processes. These filters help meet environmental emission regulations and protect ventilation systems.
Metallurgical Industry: In metallurgical plants, cartridge filters help control metal dust generated during processes such as casting, welding, and cutting. Fibreglass cartridges and other materials resistant to high temperatures are ideal for these applications.
