are pressure pre-coat filters with candle
elements which are designed to provide
a rigid and robust support for the filter
media. The stainless steel candles
have no moving parts - reducing the
expense of regular replacement of costly
consumables.
Meta filters are commonly found in the
food and beverage processing industry
worldwide. Their outstanding reliability
and performance over a long operational
life means that there are many
installations still providing a valuable
filtration service today.
The longevity of these installations
means that they are often capably
performing long after the engineers
responsible for their operation and
maintenance have left the working
environment. The result is that the
valuable knowledge and experience
relating to these systems has been lost.
In such situations, Stella-Meta’s
knowledge and experience together
with a comprehensive spares inventory,
servicing skills and training package can
help to improve the performance of these
filters for many years to come.
