Our Products #200022

Absorption elements(filters) are designed to remove water or a specific chemical from fuel, solvents, and oils which is emulsified by the presence of surfactants and will not separate in a coalescerseparator process. These elements are commonly used at refineries, fuel pipe-lines, machine shops, and oil recycling applications. Available in several sizes to fit existing filter vessels, these elements are capable of removing up to 4 quarts of water per element while reducing free water content down below 10 ppm. The filtration layer of the element allows the element to be used in a dual process by removing particulate as well as absorbing water. When configured with our high performance glass media, our elements are able to achieve a filtration efficiency of 99.5% at micron ratings as low as 1 micron.A variation of the standard absorption element is the color change element. These elements are used in compressed air applications to absorb oil and oil mists in critical applications. Our color change elements use a silica gel desiccant that indicates to the user when the element has reached the end of its filter life by changing colors.

The Fullers Earth is used to adsorb soluble contaminants such as gums, resins, waxes and acids from fuels, oils and solvents. Carbon elements are used for the removal of color and odor from potable liquids such as water, vegetable oils and mineral oils. Adsorption elements are not intended for filtration. However, due to thier construction, they provide filtration down to 5 micron in the Fullers Earth elements and 1 micron in the Carbon elements. These elements are limited to 300 F and 50-80 PSIDP differential pressure. The prime use of Fullers Earth elements as in the removal of acids in oil reclamation and surfactants in aviation fuels. The largest use of Carbon elements is in the purification of water.

Pleated Media Elements are ideally suited for removal of hard, granular contaminants from lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and water. Fluitek elements are made of special resin-impregnated cellulose or synthetic media, corrugated and pleated to achieve extended area for high flow rates, low pressure drop and microscopically fine filtration. A wide variety of models and sizes are available to cover flow rates up to 300 GPMelement, 0.25-80 micron filtration selectivity, and 4200 PSIDP collapse pressure when screen supported media are used. Multi-layer laminated micro-glass assures Beta 75-300 absolute ratings at high flow rates and large dirt-holding capacities.

Fluitek offers several types of process cartridges. Wound, pleated, melt blown, and resin bonded are a few of the many process cartridge options that we have available. Fluitek process cartridges are used in a wide range of filtration applications including RO system pre-filters, beverage, ultra pure water, chemical, ink, paint, and sterile vent air filtration.

Radial Fin Elements are extended area, star-shaped elements developed for the removal of atmospheric dust from the air intake of compressors, blowers, and engines and for the removal of hard contaminants from hydraulic fluids, lubricating and fuel oils and process fluids.

Wound Elements are used in the filtration of liquids and gases containing small particulates or limited soft contaminants. These elements are used in a broad range of industrial, chemical and process industries.

Fluitek's air intake elements were developed for the removal of atmospheric dust or particulate in the air intake system of compressors, blowers, vacuum pumps, engines, etc. Our versatile manufacturing process enables us to offer these filters in thousands of different sizes and media configurations. Most intake filters are made from cellulose, woven fabrics, or felted medias with either sewn, molded, or metal end configurations. We have over 100 different types of media that are used to provide intake filter solutions with an efficiency range of 0.3 - 750 micron. Some intake filters are used in high temperature environments. Fluitek offers elements for these applications with temperature ratings up to 1000F.

Panel filters are commonly used on intake and exhaust applications. Some of the common applications are compressor intakes, grease catchers, spark arrestors, HVAC filtration, odor removal, and the final filtration of dust collection systems. This product line is offered in several medias including stainless steel mesh, pleated cellulose, aluminum mesh, polyester felt, HEPA, carbon bed, and fiberglass. We have panel filter medias available with an efficiency range of 0.3 - 500 micron. Fluitek also offers high temperature and all metal panel filters for applications that are used in applications that require high temperature medias or cleanable panels.

Spin-on elements are disposable elements in a self contained metal housing. These elements are used for the removal of contaminants from hydraulic oils, coolants, lube oils, fuels, water, and reservoir tank air breathers. Fluitek spin-on elements contain surface or depth loading medias such as cellulose, microglass, water absorbing, or stainless steel mesh. The variety of available medias allows for elements that are suitable for flow rates up to 100GPM and a micron efficiency of 1-150 micron.

Over 300 models of airoil separator elements are available utilizing a cylindrical or pleated design of microglass with a variety of flanges, gaskets and kits. Air flow capacities of up to 3000 CFMelement with 0.3-10 micron aerosol selectivity and 99.9% removal efficiency are available. These elements are limited, however, to 225F operating temperature at 50 PSIDP maximum differential pressure.
