Filtrox AG products

The SE range of high throughput sheets are characterised by their relatively low density, high voids volume, greater absorption capacity and increased depth.

Carlson has specially developed this all cellulose range of media for a number of specific applications, particularly for filtration of high viscosity liquids and for controlled absorption and emission abilities. The EE series of filter sheets is manufactured in thicknesses ranging from 1.00 to 4.60 mm and in high flow rate versions.

Activated carbon powder has been used in filter sheets for many years, primarily for colour removal from low grade sugar syrups and for chlorine removal from water to be used in soft drinks production. The number of applications using cellulose sheets incorporating activated carbon has escalated, not only in variety, but also because of their convenience. Because process fluids contact carbon particles entrapped within a filter sheet more efficiently, the adsorption capability of these impregnated sheets is greater than that provided by an equivalent amount of bulk powdered activated carbon thus reducing process time and increasing product yield.

The filtration of whisky, either single malt or blended types, is vital to ensure life, stability and good clarity. To this end, the removal of hazes and precursors to haze formation is particularly important. Consequently, the steps used in filtration of different types of whisky require careful control and correct choice of filter equipment and media.

Carlson has developed a support sheet for the retention of filter aid which has been applied both as a pre-coat and as a body feed to the unfiltered product.

The Carlson XE range of products comprises a comprehensive series of high performance filter sheets designed to meet the needs of a range of specialist applications.
