Cartridge filter housing for the food and beverage industry

In the wastewater treatment process, cartridge filters are commonly used for the filtration of liquids to remove suspended solids, particles, and other contaminants from the water or wastewater stream. These filters consist of a cylindrical or pleated cartridge made from various materials, such as polypropylene, polyester, or cellulose fibers.

Cartridge filters work by passing the liquid through the filter media, which captures and retains the solid particles while allowing the clean water to pass through. The filtered particles accumulate on the surface or within the depth of the filter media, and over time, this buildup can lead to a pressure drop across the cartridge. When the pressure drop becomes significant, it indicates that the cartridge needs to be replaced or cleaned to maintain filtration efficiency.

Cartridge filters are widely used in the food and beverage industry for their efficiency in removing contaminants, insuring products quality and maintain safety standards.
