Steam filters for process and sterile filtration

Product safety thanks to effective steam filters
Steam filters are designed to remove particles, microorganisms and other impurities from steam before it is used in sensitive process stages. In the food and beverage industry - for example in breweries, dairies or in the bottling of beverages - they are primarily used in SIP (sterilization-in-place) systems. They make a decisive contribution to removing residues and contamination from the pipelines and preventing changes in taste in the end product. The result: a consistently safe and high-quality consumer product. Steam filters are also used to control the temperature of heat exchangers using steam.
