Polymer candles

Polymer candles are the choice of the processor when it is important to have the lowest capital cost combined with ease of replacement, lower downtimes and overheads. Candles are available in pleated stainless steel fibre (e.g. for PET film, fibre and resin) or cylindrical woven meshes (e.g. for BOPP film) utilising stainless or speciality steels. Our designs encompass the fully welded, REMPAKTM and re-coverable versions, with the last two options representing a lower cost product where the valuable hardware can be reused when the media has reached the end of its life.

Our candles are available in industry standard designs, or can be custom designed to fit any particular housing. With high strength, they are available in filtration ratings from 3-100 microns, and would normally be supplied with an outer guard both to protect the media. Our range of high strength, highly permeable steel stainless fibre media gives candles with low initial pressure drops and long on- stream life.

Our candles are readily cleanable with current technology and we would be happy to advise on appropriate cleaning methods available.
