New line of coalescing filter elements for the gas processing industry are designed to eliminate unsafe filter element changeout techniques, while increasing filtration efficiencies.
VertexCore elements have a fixed extension that is welded to the element end cap, which allows maintenance staff to easily remove and replace elements without exposing their head, shoulders, torso or legs to a confined space. This design feature eliminates the widespread behavior of climbing into or reaching into filtration pressure vessels to remove or replace elements. The VertexCore extensions and hold down rods, while facilitating element replacement, also provide a barrier to prevent operator entry, a positive reinforcement to confined space safety regulations.
- Extensions terminate at the vessel opening; allowing easy access.
- Extensions permanently mounted on elements for maximum strength and zero bypass.
- Extensions & hold down rods create barriers that prevent operator entry.
