Particulate Filter Elements

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses PPC Particulate Filter Cartridges designed for use as afterfilters in various industrial applications, particularly downstream of regenerative desiccant dryers and activated carbon bed adsorbers. These filters are crucial for preventing abrasive contaminants from entering compressed air or gas streams, thereby enhancing system performance and component longevity.
Specifications: The PPC filters have an absolute particle removal rating of 0.9 micrometers, ensuring fine particles are effectively filtered out. They are available in both low and high-temperature variants, with the high-temperature filters using glass fiber media to withstand temperatures up to 450°F.
Design and Performance: The filters feature a corrugated construction that increases dirt holding capacity and reduces pressure drops, leading to longer service life and lower operating costs. The design prevents media migration and ensures stability under mechanical stress.
Materials of Construction: Low-temperature filters use resin-impregnated cellulose, while high-temperature filters use glass fiber. Both types have plated carbon steel support cores and end caps, with gaskets made from Buna-N or silicone.
Applications and Compatibility: The filters are compatible with gases such as nitrogen, helium, and argon. They are designed to handle a variety of industrial applications, ensuring reliable performance across different environments.
Advantages: Compared to molded or wound cartridges, PPC filters offer higher dirt holding capacity, lower pressure drops, and eliminate the risk of particle release due to flow fluctuations or mechanical shocks.
Company Background: SPX FLOW, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a global supplier of engineered flow components and systems, with operations in over 35 countries and sales in over 150 countries.

Particulate Filter Elements-3

Advantages of PPC Particulate cartridges over “molded” or “wound” cartridges using glass, cotton, wool, rayon, and other loose fiber construction. • Corrugated construction produces high filter area in a compact configuration. Ensures high dirt holding capacity and lower pressure drops which result in longer on-stream life, less frequent change-out, and lower operating cost. • PPC elements will not unload or release particles because of fluctuations in flow, mechanical shock, vibration or pressure. • Media migration (the shedding of the filter media into the system) is eliminated.
