Hot Gas Filter Components

Ceramic Filter Components from Caldo

Ceramic Filter Elements

Caldo hot gas ceramic filter elements are made to the industry standard design: 1000mm long x 60mm o.d. x 40mm i.d. with an 80mm o.d. flange, 20mm deep. They are made from alumino-silicate fibres and a silica binder. The data sheet DS002, Ceramic Filter Elements, can be downloaded from the literature page for more information.

Caldo hot gas ceramic elements are packed in boxes of 18. The ceramic elements are susceptible to damage in transit and this packaging has proved the best protection for the elements in many years of experience. The price for standard elements in complete boxes is:

Elements in full boxes of 18 elements £31.40 / €39.25 per element

Caldo is also able to offer shorter ceramic filter elements. These are 500mm long, compared with the 1000mm length of the standard elements. These elements travel better than the longer ones and are therefore available in smaller quantities. Please contact us at [email protected] for prices for non-standard elements and quantities.

Ceramic Fibre Gaskets

Ceramic fibre gaskets are used to provide a seal between the underside of the flange of the ceramic filter elements and the header plate. The arrangement is shown in detail in the data sheet DS003, Installation of Ceramic Filter Elements. The gasket used is 80mm o.d. x 63mm i.d.in 10mm thick ceramic fibre paper and is called the element gasket. The price for these gaskets is:

Element gaskets £0.75 / €0.95 each

A previous installation method used two gaskets, the other being a header plate gasket. These are still available:

Header plate gaskets £0.95 / €1.20 each

Spacer Rings

Spacer rings can be used to prevent crushing of the flange of the ceramic filter element caused by over-tightening of the clamp plate bolts as shown in the data sheet DS003. These rings are available in mild carbon steel or in type 304 stainless steel:

Mild carbon steel spacer rings £2.50 / €3.15 each
Stainless steel spacer rings £3.75 / €4.75 each
