Custom Insulated Filters

Roben, Mfg, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of custom insulated filters, delivering precision-engineered filtration vessels for temperature-sensitive industrial applications. Our custom insulated filters maintain optimal operating temperatures while providing efficient particulate removal, ensuring product quality and downstream equipment protection.

What is a Custom Insulated Filters?

A custom insulated filter is a specialized pressure vessel designed to remove particulate matter, suspended solids, or other contaminants from process fluids while maintaining controlled temperatures through integrated insulation systems. These vessels incorporate filter elements, support structures, and cleaning systems optimized for specific filtration requirements.

Insulation is critical for filters handling temperature-sensitive fluids where viscosity changes significantly affect filtration efficiency, or where thermal degradation of the product must be prevented. Our custom insulated filters deliver reliable thermal management while providing superior filtration performance.

Why are Custom Insulated Filters Needed?

Custom Insulated Filters are essential for operations that require:

• Viscosity Control: Many fluids exhibit temperature-dependent viscosity. Maintaining optimal temperatures ensures consistent flow rates and filtration efficiency.
• Product Protection: Temperature-sensitive products require thermal management to prevent degradation during the filtration process.
• Solidification Prevention: Some materials can solidify or become too viscous to filter if temperatures drop below certain thresholds. Insulation prevents these issues.
• Energy Efficiency: Insulated filters reduce heat loss, minimizing the energy required to maintain process temperatures.
• Personnel Safety: Hot filter vessels pose burn hazards. Insulation protects operators during routine operations and filter element changes.
• Consistent Performance: Stable temperatures ensure predictable filtration rates and filter element life.

Custom Insulated Filters Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What filter element options are available?

We design vessels for various filter element types including bags (felt, mesh, pleated), cartridges (depth, pleated, membrane), leaves (stacked disc, horizontal), and specialty elements. Element selection is based on particle size, loading, pressure drop requirements, and cleaning or replacement preferences.

Can insulated filters include heating systems?

Yes, we incorporate heating systems including steam jackets, electrical heating elements, heat tracing, and hot oil jackets. These systems maintain fluid temperatures during filtration and idle periods. Removable insulation sections provide access for filter element replacement while maintaining thermal efficiency.

How do you handle filter cleaning in insulated vessels?

We design insulated filters with appropriate provisions for cleaning, including backwash connections, CIP spray systems, and access ports for manual cleaning. Insulation systems are designed with removable sections to allow access to filter elements and cleaning components.

What instrumentation can be integrated?

We integrate differential pressure indicators and transmitters for filter condition monitoring, temperature sensors for thermal management, and level instrumentation for batch operations. All penetrations maintain insulation integrity and thermal performance.
