Block Mill Filter Element
The block mill is one of the essential components in steel manufacturing units. They are used to create different shapes through metal sheets. During their working process, they consist of coolant and other lubricants for smooth processing. Solid metal dirt available in the lubricant during working can harm block mills and reduce their working efficiency. Capturing and eliminating those particles is the primary function of the filter element used in a block mill.
Types of filter media used in block mill
The most widely used media is coalescer media due to their surfaces and gradient structures that improve filtration performance. It consists of borosilicate microfiber glass layers. These help to capture fine dust particles to prevent system integrity and improve performance. Stainless steel wire mesh is also one type of media used in block mills to capture metal dirt and other solid dirt particles. Due to their steel construction, they perform more efficiently than other media for solid debris cleaning in the system.
Types of filter assembly used in block mill
- Simplex Type
The simplex filter assembly is used more for the single-stage filtration processes. They are compact in design and can be placed even in small spaces compared to other assemblies. These oil cleaning units are also suitable to handle high-pressure ratings. Simplex assembly can also be placed in sequence when stage wise filtration is needed.
- Duplex Type
The duplex filter assembly is another common type used for the uninterrupted continuous filtration processes. They consist of two housings, where both housings are connected with rotary valves to change flow direction during the cleaning of inner elements. These oil units help to interchange and clean filter cartridges without interrupting the cleaning process.
