Straight inline filters, T-filters, and inlet filters to protect your downstream devices and prevent impurities

HNPM Micro filters

Filters in microfluidics play a critical role in ensuring the purity of liquids and limiting particle size. This is particularly important for processes that operate at the molecular level, which cannot tolerate impurities. By preventing foreign particles, fibres, and even chips from entering downstream devices and microfluidic structures, filters help maintain the reliability of the production process, protect the product from contamination, safeguard sensitive components from particles, and ensure the overall functionality of the system.

HNPM Micro filters for processing industry. Straight inline filters, T-filters, and inlet filters to protect your downstream devices and prevent impurities

The use of HNPM micro filters

HNP Mikrosysteme strongly recommends the use of a filter with a pore size or mesh width of 10 µm to protect the micro annular gear pump.

They offer a range of filters, including straight inline filters, inline T-filters, and inlet filters made from various materials with different filter surfaces. These HNPM filters can be ordered separately as a single product. Suurmond also uses them to protect pumps other than HNPM micro pumps.

A filter monitoring sensor can be implemented to detect impending maintenance or cleaning of the filter, as well as a closed supply line. In the “T-version”, the sensor can be directly adapted, while for straight filters, it can be integrated by adding a separate mounting block.

 

Advantages of HNPM micro filters

  • High filtration capacity in relation to the internal volume, due to large filter area
  • High-performance filter elements for low pressure losses even at higher flow rates and viscosities
  • Purely metallic filter elements without solder or adhesives
  • For food and pharmaceutical industries:
    FDA-compliant sealing materials
    Surface roughness ≤0.8
    and hygienic fittings on request
  • User-friendly and economical; filter elements can be cleaned and replaced
  • Very compact (height from 21.5 to 174mm)
  • Small dead volume
  • Smooth surface Ra 0.8
