Stauff Multimantle Filter Elements – SBM Series

Description

Overview of Multimantle Filter Elements

The Stauff Multimantle Filter Elements – SBM Series are a key component of STAUFF’s replacement element program. Designed to integrate seamlessly into complex systems, these elements are developed to ensure operational continuity and high performance in critical environments. The SBM series stands out for its dimensional and structural versatility, covering a wide range of system requirements thanks to configurations that vary in length and diameter to suit specific housings and flow rates.

Construction Features and Materials

The technological core of the SBM Series lies in the use of stainless steel mesh (Stainless Mesh) as the filter media. This material choice provides superior mechanical properties, making the elements suitable for demanding operating conditions. Key construction features include:

• Filter Media: Stainless steel mesh, known for its low flow resistance due to its large-pore surface and for its excellent chemical and thermal resistance. Weave options may include square or Dutch weave, typical of STAUFF technology for this material.
• End Caps: Made of aluminum, ensuring lightweight construction while maintaining robust connection and sealing within the filter housing.
• Dimensional Range: Elements are available with diameters ranging from 86 mm (3.39 in) to 230 mm (9.05 in) and lengths between 128 mm (5.03 in) and 723 mm (28.46 in), allowing broad compatibility.

Filtration Efficiency

The SBM Series offers a wide spectrum of filtration ratings, ranging from 10 µm to 2000 µm. This flexibility allows the elements to be used both for fine filtration—required to protect sensitive components—and for coarse filtration, suitable for retaining large contaminants. The regenerable nature of the metal mesh, combined with its robustness, ensures optimal fluid handling even in the presence of aggressive contaminants.

Applications and Industries

The design of the Stauff Multimantle Filter Elements – SBM Series meets the requirements of two main application sectors:

1. Marine Applications: Widely used for the filtration of fuels and lubricants, as well as for the treatment of bilge or process water on board. Corrosion resistance and durability are key factors in this field.
2. Process Industry: Applied in the purification of water, oils, coolants, and chemical products. The chemical compatibility of stainless steel allows use with fluids that would degrade standard filter materials such as paper or cellulose.
