Steam Filters
Why do You Need Filtered Steam?
Steam Filters protect expensive equipment, maintain processing efficiency and reduce downtime, it’s important to remove scale and debris that are common in most systems. Steam Filters will protect valves, process equipment and process filters from damage.
Steam filters from Micropure will help protect you product purity. When your steam is filtered through a MICROPURE Steam Filter, you can rest assured that your process will be protected against unwanted contaminates. Woven stainless steel filter media – supported by stainless steel segmented discs in stainless steel housing maintains its integrity under conditions that cause conventional sintered media to disintegrate.
The picture below shows the difference between the two types of media. Our media (top image) traps all particles upstream on top of the media where the competitor’s filter traps and absorbs the contaminates.
Our media has a one year warranty on strength and integrity and the competitor’s cartridge can disintegrate after repeated heat treatments. Unlike other filter media that have a shorter life and must be disposed or removed frequently for acid cleaning, MICROPURE filter media can be easily and repeatedly cleaned by backflushing for a full year under normal use. When replacement finally becomes necessary, the cost is considerably less than our competitors. The reason: only the media is replaced, not the entire element.
MICROPURE has the filter size you need from 10 lbs/hr to 25,000 lbs/hr (at 100 psi, 32 um grade). Micropure has filters with micron rating from 1-100 to ensure that your exact requirements are met.
If requirements change, you can often keep the same housing. By changing the media porosity or the number of segmented filter discs you can meet your new requirements. With MICROPURE, steam filtration is simple, effective and cost efficient.
If you have a small application or a small budget the Mini Filter Series might be the solution to your filtration needs. The same great quality, segmented design and exceptional features at a lower cost to you.

The patented Segmented Construction of MICROPURE Filters offers significant advantages over conventional cartridge filters.
Steam flows into the openings on the outside of each segment disc and passes through the filter and into an adjacent disc.
Filtered steam exits through the opening at the center of the cartridge, free from contaminants that can affect the quality of your product.

How Micropure Does It Better
System Security for Steam Filter
- Woven stainless steel media with absolute micron retention to fit your need. We have media from 1 micron to 100 micron.
- Each Filter disc works independently allowing for maximum filtering capability and low PSID.
- A stainless steel tension rod and parts that provides continued support upstream and downstream of the filter media.
- The design of Micropure Segmented Filters has been subjected to extensive testing in Europe and the United States.
Application Versatility
- The required element height and diameter are determined by your application’s pressure, flow rate and micron level. This gives each application an individualized fit.
- Unlike conventional cartridge filters, Micropure’s Segmented filters can handle bi-directional flow.
- Filters allow higher flow rates per inch of element height than conventional filters while maintaining submicron bacterial efficiency.**
- High Pressure and Temperature Tolerances
Unlimited Reusability
- Stainless Steel segmented discs, which will outlast the conventional cartridge style filters.
- Since each media piece acts independently, Increasing flow rate or pressure can be achieved by simply adding more media pieces/segmented element discs.
Economical Steam Filter
- You only replace the filter media discs. The segmented element support discs and housing stay in the filter for its entire life.
- Cost of Ownership is significantly less than competitors.
- Culinary Steam Mini Filter Series available
Steam Filter Convenience
- Micropure filters can be steam sterilized in place up to 150 times with no loss of filtering effectiveness as validated by an internationally recognized food laboratory.
- Micropure filters can also be sterilized using Backflush, autoclave or any chemical safe to use on stainless steel.
- Media Replacement is simple and easy.
- Simple, on-site visual inspection of individual filter media
- Media is easily removable for laboratory analysis or culture.
No other filter offers this combination of features:
- Segmented design allows exchange of media to meet changing requirements, inspect elements, or to replace old elements
- Media available in multiple sizes from 1 to 100 microns and 4 diameter sizes for exceptional versatility
- Housing and Segmented Discs warranted for 5 years
- Bi-directional flow capability
- Built of high grade stainless steel- to tolerate extreme pressure and temperature variations for unlimited reusability
- Easy to design into virtually any process system
