Candle Filters

The filter operates by allowing fluid to pass axially or radially through a cylindrical wedge wire element, which captures particles larger than the slot size. Traditional wire mesh filters used in these applications often clog quickly and require daily manual cleaning.

Candle Filters are used at the inlet stage of chemical and paint manufacturing processes to remove oversized solids and protect downstream equipment. They are particularly effective in:
- Paint resins and polymer processing
- Solvent-based and water-based chemical systems
- Pigment dispersion and additive blending lines
- Lacquers, varnishes, emulsions, and coatings
