filter elements
At the heart of the
glosfume
®
filtration unit are the “ceramic” filter elements. These were initially
designed and developed to eliminate the high cost of bought in elements and more importantly
to improve quality and strength with a consistent pressure drop.
It took three years to establish our own in-house manufacturing facilities for producing the filter
elements, operated by our subsidiary company Glosfume Technologies Ltd. Glosfume Ltd hold a
stock at all times of between 6,000 to 10,000 elements.
We make three standard types of element:
●
G3 is a ceramic element which will operate at temperatures up to 1100°C.
●
G4 is a mineral element which will operate at temperatures up to 750°C.
●
S4 is a mineral based manufactured from Low Bio-Persistent Fibres element suitable for
temperatures up to 1100°C.
All our filter elements are produced with an outside diameter of 60 mm (tapered to 55 mm) and
are 1000 mm long. These dimensions have been shown to achieve optimum performance for
particulate removal and dry scrubbing.
All our filter elements are manufactured in-house from known engineered fibres, using a fully
computerised process. Forming times and pressures are tightly controlled to achieve stable bulk
density and a specific pressure drop. Each day 10% of all elements are tested and recorded on
a data-base and are then packed in bar-coded packaging to ensure full traceability.
Unlike conventional bag filters and other types of filters,
glosfume
®
ceramic filters are highly
efficient – up to 99.99%. They are able to remove sub-micron sized particles including nano-
particles.
