Kimre offers a comprehensive line of new and repacked Kimre™ Fiber Bed Candle Filters. These highly efficient mist eliminator filters are designed to meet even the most challenging mist elimination requirements. Our Fiber Bed Candle Filters can be tailored for new systems to align with your specific efficiency, pressure drop, and footprint needs, delivering removal efficiencies greater than 99.9% for sub-micron particles. Whether you require standardized configurations or custom designs, we can accommodate your unique installation.
Renowned Candle Filter Manufacturer
Kimre™ Fiber Bed Candle Filters effectively trap, collect, and remove liquids and soluble particulate matter suspended in a gas stream. These cylindrical elements feature a "bed" composed of fine fibers of media, available in various grades and densities, packed between two cylindrical screens. As mist-laden gas passes through the filter wall, cleaned gas exits from the opposite side. Depending on the flow direction, gas can move from the inside to the outside (forward flow or sitting filter) or from the outside to the inside (reverse flow or hanging filter).
As particles attempt to pass through the candle filter, they are captured by the fibers. Larger particles are collected through inertial methods, while the high efficiency of the fiber bed filter is enhanced by Brownian motion, where gas molecules collide with sub-micron particles. This collection mechanism is known as Brownian diffusion. Liquid particles or dissolved solids coalesce into drops on the filter's fiber surface and drain by gravity.
Virtually any existing fiber bed mist eliminator filter from any manufacturer can be upgraded to a Kimre™ Fiber Bed Candle Filter, providing improved performance and filter life. Our experienced sales and technical team is well-versed in existing installations, ensuring you receive the exact solution you need.
Manufactured at our facility in Homestead, Florida, our fiber bed candle filters are produced by a skilled team of technicians with extensive experience in crafting mist eliminator filters. As one of the trusted candle filter manufacturers based in the USA, our engineers oversee all production aspects, and each filter undergoes in-house testing to guarantee quality and reliability.
Fiber Bed Mist Eliminator
For enhanced performance, consider our concentric fiber bed mist eliminator filters. This innovative design features parallel filter beds arranged in a combined forward and reverse flow configuration, increasing surface area by up to 40% compared to standard filters. As laminar flow devices, the pressure drop is reduced by the same percentage as the surface area increases, making concentric Fiber Bed Filters an ideal solution for systems where space is limited.
