Conical Filters

Kumar In Line Conical Filters are 'user friendly' designs created by our technical experts. 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.

These filters are available as off-the shelf items with a multiple choice of inlet/outlet connections varying from 1/4" - 1" BSP/NPT/TC connections to suit different applications in use. The filter media used are sintered SS316 as well as fusion bonded five layered sint SS316 L porous discs.

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.

Applications

These In Line Conical filters are ideally suited for small volume filtration in industries and laboratories. These filters are also ideally suited for in line filtration in the product filling, washing and sealing lines of pharmaceuticals, injectables, food products, gases, instrumentation air and similar requirements which require small flows but precision filtration. Some of these filters, in fact have been modified to withstand even 4500psi rating for certain gas analyser applications.

These In Line Conical filters are also modified as multiporous bench filters which can be used in place of sintered glass funnels/gooch crucibles. Available in disc sizes of 47 mm and 80 mm with respective hold up volumes of 100 ml and 500 ml. Suitable for vacuum as well as pressure filtration in laboratory scale.
