The inlet filter is an indispensable protection for most vacuum pumps. It can prevent some impurities from entering the pump chamber and damaging the impeller or seal. The inlet filter includes powder filter and a gas-liquid separator. The quality and adaptability of the inlet filter really affect the service life of the vacuum pump. Therefore, we will adjust filters according to customer needs. For example, adding anti-static conductive ropes, adding chiller to remove water vapor. What we are going to introduce today is one of the powder filters.
A customer ask an inlet filter from us, and said that his production line was very busy and the vacuum pump was basically running non-stop. However, due to the long-term operation, the filter element needed to be replaced frequently, and the vacuum pump had to be turned off to replace the filter element. It would seriously delay the production progress. So the customer asked us if there was a filter whose filter element can be replaced without turning off the vacuum pump. After understanding the customer's needs, we designed a switchable dual filter based on the vacuum pump parameters. By the way, our original design was blue, but we later made it orange according to customer needs.
The switchable dual inelt filter is designed specifically for situations that require the vacuum pump to operate for a long time. This filter has two filter tanks, and only one tank is used during operation. If the pumping speed slows down or the pressure difference increases, it means that the filter element needs to be replaced. At this point, it is necessary to open the valve of another filter tank first. Wait for the pressure drop of the originally operating filter tank to stabilize, then close its valve and replace the filter element. Through this way, the filter element can be replaced without turning off the vacuum pump, ensuring production safety and efficiency.
Perhaps we will introduce different designs for this working condition in the future. If you have any suggestions or needs, just contact us.
