High-Quality Filter Sleeves for Effective Operation, Durability, and Food Safety
Filtration systems are among the primary constituents of grain processing plants. The filtration of the dust and particles that arise during the processing of high volumes of grains by effective systems is highly significant for food safety, air quality, and occupational health.
Jet filters clean the air by absorbing the dust in the air-dust mixture. When the air, which involves dust and flour, enters the filter, dust particles stick to the sleeves in the machine. In summary, filters keep the dust particles they collect in these sleeves and ensure that they do not mix into the air. By the force of compressed air, the dust particles accumulated in these sleeves are sent to the bottom of the filter. Then, they are cleaned using a blower or compressor.
Features of Filter Sleeves
Manufactured of durable fabrics woven with special techniques, jet filter sleeves are used in jet filters and act as filters during aspiration. In addition to these easily removable and cleanable sleeves, plansifter top and bottom sleeves and other sleeves for relevant machines are also among the important elements of milling machines. It is critical for food safety that these sleeves are made of high-quality food-grade materials.
Jet filter sleeves, which can be manufactured using different materials and in different sizes depending on the requirements of the process they will be used in, directly impact the performance of the filtration system and are primarily used in the following fields:
- Food industry
- Flour and semolina mills
- Animal feed mills
- Grain cleaning plants
- Grain warehouses and silos
How to Choose Filter Sleeves?
Materials used in filtration systems vary depending on such factors as the ambient temperature, humidity, chemical structure of the processed material, and particle size. Choosing the proper material and size for sleeves is important to ensure both food safety and a smooth process. Making product choices that match the standards and requirements of processes prolongs equipment service life and improves process quality.
In choosing filter sleeves, the following aspects should be considered:
- Ambient temperatureFiltration applications are divided into two categories, namely low-temperature and high-temperature filtration. Process that are implemented in temperatures that are around the ambient temperature, such as milling, grinding, mixing, and packaging, belong to the former group while the applications that involve boilers, kilns, and driers belong to the latter.
- Gases and chemicals involved in the process
The relation of the material used in the filter sleeves with acidic, alkali, solvent, and oxidizing substances and its resistance to wear and tear are important factors in choosing the proper sleeve.
- Humidity
The humidity that occurs during the process also significantly impacts the function of the sleeve. If the sleeve material is not suitable for the ambient humidity, problems may occur in process and product quality. - Maintenance and cleaning requirements
Details concerning the maintenance and cleaning of the filter bag are also among the important factors for making the right choice. In addition to the maintenance requirements and ease of cleaning, the compliance of the sleeve with the rest of the system should also be considered.
Since there are many factors involved in effective filtration, choosing all system components in an informed manner ensures both an efficient and smoothly running process and a prolonged system service life.
