Although their names both include a candle filter, they are two completely different products. A household filter is usually a Ceramic Candle Filter, which relies on the gravity of the liquid to filter, and is not under much pressure. On the other hand, our Industrial Pressure Automatic Candle Filter is able to withstand pressures ranging from 0.6MPa to 2.5MPa, and is specially designed for industrial applications. It is a fully automatic, high-flow product, not a single cartridge consumable.
FiltEdge’s Automatic Candle Filter features a unique technology called “filtering residue with residue”. The filter media is filtered through the cartridge in a closed housing, and the filter residue forms a uniform cake on the cartridge. When the pressure in the housing or the filter cake reaches the initial setting, the filter is automatically purged through the Pulse Tube Filter, which instantly removes the filter cake. The entire process adequately separates and clarifies liquid and particulate matter, guaranteeing a smooth flow of your production process.
