Cartridge Filter Systems
SOLO, DUPLEX & MULTIPLEX in LIGHT-, STANDARD- and EXTRA-LINE — from the ECO version ("Sound Engineering Practice") through to CE-marked Category IV.
DUPLEX
Two (or more) hard-piped cartridge filters — optionally with manual or automatic change-over for continuous operation.
MULTIPLEX
A single vessel unit with a common closure, in which two or many more filter cartridges are combined depending on the filtration capacity.
EXTRA-LINE options: performance, materials, coatings, heating, mobility, safety
When the STANDARD-LINE is not enough: higher throughput and output, an extended range of materials (Hastelloy, titanium, carbon steel, plastics), coatings (HALAR®, ETFE, FEP, PFA, PTFE, PU), heating jacket, filter trolleys for mobile use, as well as explosion protection in accordance with ATEX, TA Luft compliance and FDA/EC conformity.
Filter Systems · SKF
Basket Filter Systems
Robust systems for high flow rates and coarse separation — in the same three configuration levels: LIGHT-LINE, STANDARD-LINE and EXTRA-LINE (up to 100 bar / 400 °C, all PED categories).
LIGHT-LINE
ECO version in accordance with “sound engineering practice” (Art. 4(3) PED) — up to 10 bar / 80 °C.
STANDARD-LINE
All-rounder for all applications and approvals — up to 16 bar / 150 °C, categories I–IV.
EXTRA-LINE
Premium options for maximum performance — up to 100 bar / 400 °C, special materials and coatings.
Filter Systems · SPF / SPECIAL-LINE
Special Filter Systems — for unique and demanding requirements
Specialized tasks and projects with the highest application-specific requirements are developed and implemented within the SPECIAL-LINE — including combinations of different technologies.
Solid-Liquid Separation
Pressure Nutsche Filter / Pressure Filter
Up to 6 bar gauge operating pressure, can be heated (vessel jacket + thermostat), mobile on a filter trolley. Typical applications in pharmaceuticals & chemicals: activated carbon filtration, separation of filter aids and salts, catalyst filtration, clarification, sterile filtration, valuable material filtration, and API recovery.
Continuous Filtration
Edge Gap Filters / Wedge Wire Filters
For maximum performance and specific application requirements — continuous filtration even for high-viscosity media.
Continuous Filtration
Automatic Backwash Filters
Self-cleaning systems for continuous operation — the filter elements are automatically backwashed without interrupting the process.
Filter Media
Filter Bags & Fiber Filter Fabrics
Bags, roll goods, and custom cuts — standard or bespoke, available with FDA/EC compliance for food and cosmetics upon request.
Monofilament Filter Bags
Polyester, polypropylene & Nylon™ (NMO). The heat-welded monofilament mesh enables surface filtration with an absolute retention rating at a precisely defined pore size.
Needle Felt Filter Bags
Polyester, polypropylene & aramid (NOMEX®) — depth filtration with high dirt-holding capacity, also available in XL versions (PEXL/POXL).
Other Materials & Mesh Bags
Cotton, fiberglass, PTFE (Teflon™) and others — plus mesh bags and filter fabrics supplied in rolls or cut to size.
In 'EXTRA' versions, standard specifications (e.g. length, diameter) can be customized — we accommodate individual, application-specific requirements in consultation with you.
Filter Media
Fiber & Metal Filter Candles
Six designs for every filtration rating and resistance requirement — installed individually or in multiples in candle filter housings.
Activated Carbon Filter Candles
Porous activated carbon block with PP pre-filter and support structure — also FDA/EC-compliant. The filtrate flows from the outside through the activated carbon element and is discharged via the inner support core.
Meltblown Filter Candles
Depth filtration (nominal & absolute) with thermally bonded microfibers made of polypropylene or polyamide — with or without a support core, FDA-compliant.
Membrane Filter Cartridges
Absolute filter cartridges for fine filtration made of PES, PTFE or PA with a polypropylene support core — in accordance with FDA requirements.
Metal Filter Cartridges
Surface filters made of metal (composite) mesh (stainless steels) with very high resistance to heat and chemicals.
Pleated Filter Cartridges
Depth filter elements made of pleated polypropylene microfibers — high dirt-holding capacity, FDA/EC compliance.
String-Wound Filter Cartridges
Depth filtration with yarns made of polypropylene, cotton or glass fiber and support cores made of polypropylene or stainless steel.
Metal filter mesh
Strainer baskets & other formed parts made of metal filter mesh
Strainer baskets, support baskets, wedge wire screens, filter discs, cone strainers, insert strainers and more — for the surface filtration of liquid and gaseous media.
Strainer baskets & filter inserts
Strainer and support baskets made of stainless steel, carbon steel & plastic — various sizes, filter ratings, hole diameters and pitches.
Formed parts & filter elements
Filter discs, fluidizing cones & mushrooms, top-hat strainers, dirt traps, wedge wire screens & insert strainers.
Custom cuts & sheets
Metal filter mesh for surface filtration — flat or pleated, single- or multi-layer. Composite meshes combine different wire meshes over the entire surface to create robust fine filter media.
Key advantages of metal filter meshes — particularly those made of (stainless) steel — include very high heat resistance and structural strength.
Air Filtration
Pocket Filters, Dust Filters, Filter Cells & Mats
Coarse dust, fine dust and HEPA filters — standard or custom-made, fabricated or supplied as roll media, FDA/EC-compliant on request.
Particles > 10 µm
Coarse Dust Filters
Pocket filters, filter sleeves, dust bags and filter mats for the separation of coarse particles.
Particles 1–10 µm
Fine Dust Filters
Fine dust pocket filters and cells in various filter classes, sizes and materials.
Particles < 1 µm
HEPA Filters
Highest separation efficiencies for protected applications and clean process air.
Accessories & Rental Systems
Accessories for efficient filtration
Adapters, ball valves, bolts, clamps and much more
Butterfly valves, adapters, eyebolts, ball valves, pressure gauges, clamps, drip trays, valves and centering screws for Schoneweg filter systems.
Bag/sleeve positioners & backflush supports
Ensure correct installation and seating of the filter bag or sleeve and prevent the bag from "fluttering" and potentially bursting due to uncontrolled back pressure.
Rental filter systems
When rapid assistance is needed — for instance, when production downtime is imminent — we provide a suitable filter system as a temporary solution by arrangement.
Magnetic rods
Inserted into the filter bag during filtration to capture magnetic particles such as swarf or fine dust before they accumulate on the filter medium.
O-rings & flat gaskets
Application-specific seals made of E-CTFE (Halar™), ETFE, FEP (FEP-Teflon™), PTFE (PTFE-Teflon™), PVDF, EPDM, FPM/FKM (Viton™), NBR and silicone rubber.
Displacers
Displacers in the filter bag reduce the amount of residual filtrate — making bag changes significantly easier.
