What is the difference between the two types of sand filters?

Sand Filter

Stainless steel sand filters and carbon steel sand filters each have their own advantages and limitations in industrial applications. The following is a detailed comparison.

Sand filter
1. Stainless steel sand filter

It is suitable for occasions with high requirements for sanitary conditions, corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, such as food, medicine, chemical and marine environments. Although the initial investment is higher, it has a longer service life and lower maintenance costs in the long run.

Specific applications:

1. Filtration systems for food processing, beverage production and breweries.
2. Pharmaceutical equipment, bioreactors and laboratory filtration systems.
3. Handling and filtration of corrosive chemicals.
4. Desalination of seawater, water treatment systems on ships.
5. Liquid filtration in high-temperature processes.

2. Carbon steel sand filter

It is suitable for general industrial environments and cost-sensitive projects such as construction, mining and agriculture. It has a lower initial cost, but a shorter service life in corrosive environments and requires more frequent maintenance and replacement.

Specific applications:

1. General industrial filtration systems in manufacturing, processing plants and production workshops.
2. Water treatment and mud separation in construction sites and infrastructure construction.
3. Ore washing and mud recovery system.
4. Water source filtration in agricultural irrigation system.
5. Preliminary filtration in urban sewage treatment plant.
