Product safety with effective steam filters 

Steam filters are designed to remove particles, microorganisms, and other contaminants from steam before it is used in sensitive process stages. In the food and beverage industry—for example, in breweries, dairies, or beverage filling plants—they are primarily used in SIP (sterilization-in-place) systems. They play a key role in removing residues and contamination from the pipes and preventing changes in the taste of the end product. The result: a consistently safe and high-quality consumer product. Steam filters are also used to regulate the temperature of heat exchangers using steam. 

Various steam filters for specific requirements

Hengst offers a wide range of steam filters – from sintered to pleated elements. Sterile steam filters achieve retention levels of up to 1 µm and support maximum process reliability. Variants with up to 25 µm are available for pre-filtration. This allows for the optimal solution to be implemented for every process stage.
