Steam-Jacketed Bag Filter for Wax Production in the UK
Client Overview
Our client is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in bespoke wax products for a variety of industries. Wax requires consistent high temperatures to remain in a liquid state during processing. Two years ago, they purchased a steam-jacketed bag filter from us to handle this specific challenge. Recently, they returned to order an identical unit for their expanding operations.
The Challenge: Maintaining Temperature and Flow
The client required a filtration solution that could process high-viscosity, temperature-sensitive liquids without the wax solidifying and clogging the system. Furthermore, they needed a reliable flow rate to meet their production demands.
The Solution: Single Bag Filter Housing
We supplied a Single Bag Filter Housing built precisely to their specifications:
- Structure: Steam-jacketed
- Material: SS316
- Filtration Precision: 500 μm
- Treatment Capacity: ~20 m³/h
The Power of the Steam Jacket
The steam jacket is the unsung hero of this setup. By circulating steam around the filter housing, it maintains a consistent high temperature inside. This ensures the wax remains liquid and flows smoothly through the filter bag. This thermal insulation structure is an excellent choice not only for wax, but for any product that is highly sensitive to temperature drops and tends to congeal or crystallize when cool.
Is a Jacketed Filter Right for You?
Take a look at the final equipment delivered to our UK partner! As this case demonstrates, standard filtration isn't always enough when dealing with temperature-sensitive materials.
If your process involves liquids that need to be kept warm to maintain viscosity—whether it's wax, chocolate, resins, or heavy oils—a steam-jacketed bag filter could be the perfect solution for you.
