A titanium filter is a filter that uses titanium as the main material to make the filter medium or housing, and is often used in industrial applications that require high corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and durability. Known for its high strength, light weight, and resistance to various chemicals, it is suitable for use in harsh environments; such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, water and chemical filtration.
In the pharmaceutical industry, titanium filters are commonly used in sterile filtration applications to remove impurities from pharmaceutical products. In the food industry, titanium filters are used in the filtration of beer, wine and fruit juices to remove impurities and particles.
In the water treatment industry, titanium filters are used to filter water and remove contaminants such as bacteria and viruses.
The filter media of titanium filters can be made from sintered metal powder or wire mesh, depending on the application. The pore size and distribution of filter media can be tailored to meet specific filtration requirements. Its housing material can be made of titanium alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V or commercially pure titanium, depending on the application and the level of corrosion resistance required.

Specification

The specifications of titanium filters used in pharmaceuticals and food processing may vary depending on the specific application and requirements. However, some general specifications commonly used in these industries are:

Filter medium: Generally, porous sintered metal powder is used as the filter medium. Pore size and distribution can be tailored to meet specific filtration requirements.

Shell material: Titanium filters usually use titanium alloy (such as Ti-6Al-4V) or commercially pure titanium as the shell material. The choice of alloy depends on the specific application and the level of corrosion resistance required.

Working conditions: It can work at high temperature and pressure, usually up to 150°C and 10 bar. Operating conditions may vary depending on the specific application.

Filtration Efficiency: High filtration efficiencies can be achieved, typically in the range of 99.9% to 99.99%, depending on pore size and distribution.

Surface Finish: Their surface finish is usually smooth, which makes them easy to clean and sanitize.

Size and Shape: Size and shape can be customized to meet specific application requirements.

Examples 

Here are some examples of titanium filters used in pharmaceuticals and food processing:

Sterile Filters: Titanium filters are commonly used in sterile filtration applications in the pharmaceutical industry. For example, it is used to remove bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms from pharmaceutical products such as vaccines, injectable drugs and biological products. Titanium’s high corrosion resistance makes it a suitable material for use in the highly acidic or alkaline environments required for sterilization processes.

Beverage Filters: Titanium filters are used in the beverage industry for the filtration of beer, wine and fruit juices. Helps remove impurities and particles from beverages, ensuring a high quality end product. Its durability makes it suitable for high pressure and high temperature applications commonly used in the beverage industry.

Milk filter: Used to filter milk and other dairy products. Helps remove impurities such as bacteria and particles from milk, ensuring a high-quality end product. Titanium’s biocompatibility makes it a suitable material for direct food contact.

Water filters: Used to filter water in pharmaceutical and food processing plants. These filters help remove impurities such as bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants from the water, ensuring a high-quality end product. Titanium’s high corrosion resistance makes it a suitable material for the highly acidic or alkaline environments required for water purification processes.
