Industrial Screen Candles
Precision Filtration for Pressurized Vessels

Wedge wire candle filter elements for high-pressure separation.

Engineered for catalyst recovery, pre-coat filtering, and high-differential-pressure vessel internals. Continuous slot profiles deliver laminar flow, rapid pulse backwashing, and zero media migration under critical thermal cycles.
