Cellulose Filter Pads  

Cellulose Filter Pads are manufactured from pure, specially selected and treated cellulosic fiber. The filtration properties of these pads largely depends upon selected fiber size and drying techniques such as air drying, vacuum drying or squeezing. By using a unique blend of cellulosic fibers and various filter aids such as diatomaceous earth & perilites along with different drying techniques, it is possible to offer a wide variety of filter media grades. Addition of special food grade resins increases the wet strength of the pads which is very important for filtration of water based products.

 

Features & Benefits

High Solids loading: Filter pads provide high solid loading due to the large internal surface area and void volumes present within
the matrix of fiber and filter aid which comprise the filter pad. This extends filter life and provides greater throughput.
Wide compatibility: The basic components of filter pads, cellulose and filter aid, are natural products which have a wide
range of compatibility.

Specifications:
Material of construction: Cellulose wood pulp, perlite, Diatomaceous Earth, activated carbon and wet strength resin.
Depth particle retention: From 50 microns nominal down to 0.25 microns nominal .
Sizes: All sizes available to fit virtually any filter press.

Applications:
Typical applications of these pads include spirits, wines, beers & lagers where long life& clarity are essential. Similarly these products have found wide acceptance in the filtration of syrups for soft drink, gelatins, cosmetics plus a diverse spread of chemical & pharmaceutical intermediates & final products.

 PP/ Polyster Filter Pads

S&S offer circular filter pads/sparkler filter pads in different filter fabric like polyester/
polypropylene & Nylon in both woven & non woven material. They come in all sizes
as per requirement.

Polyester: Polyester cloth comes in various qualities. The quality is differentiated as per
gsm (Gram per square meter). Polyester is not acid registered. It is mainly used to make
dust collection bags for bag houses.

Polypropylene Spun: Polypropylene spun is mainly used in place of polyester if the material to
be filtered is acidic in nature. It is used to make centrifugal filter bags and also used in
filter presses with PP plates. Polypropylene filament has a better make releasing property.

Custom made woven / Non woven pads of different GSM can be made available on request.
