Selecting and Maintaining Steam Filters for Industrial Applications
By Todd Witengier Steam filtration is a vital part of any industrial application requiring steam as an energy source, whether it’s for driving mechanical processes, heating, or sterilization. Steam is an inherently dirty resource commonly contaminated with rust, scale and other particulates. The maintenance program for any steam-based system should always include a filtration component […]
Flanged Housing Data For Steam Filters

Steam Filters
Steam filters are used to clean the output of pressurized steam systems, which typically experience contaminants commonly found in steam sources, such as dirt, rust, and scale particulates. Contaminants will dramatically reduce the life and efficiency of any filter element contained downstream of the steam source. Our filters for cleaning steam sources will effectively remove […]
