Frequently Asked Questions
A culinary steam filter is a device designed specifically for filtering steam in food processing environments. It effectively removes various impurities such as particulates, rust, and moisture before the steam contacts food or food-contact surfaces. This filtration process is essential for maintaining food safety and quality.
Unfiltered steam may carry contaminants that pose risks to food safety, degrade product quality, and shorten equipment lifespan. Implementing culinary steam filters is essential to comply with regulatory standards, guaranteeing that the steam utilized for cooking, sterilization, or packaging is clean and safe.
- Steam-in-place (SIP) sterilization
- Direct food contact processes (e.g., blanching, cooking)
- Packaging sterilization
- Equipment cleaning and sanitation
- Bottling and brewing
The range has a micron rating of 1 micron or 99% particle removal efficiency.
Choose a model based on your system's required flow rate (lbs/hr) and connection size.
Yes, the 3-A Sanitary Standards provide guidance for steam used in food applications. Filters used in culinary steam systems should comply with these regulations to ensure food safety.
Yes, our culinary steam filters meet 3-A’s best practices for producing culinary-grade steam as outlined in the 609-03 document.
Yes, the elements can be regenerated and sanitized. Contact our technical support team for more information.
Replacement recommended every 6 months or after 6 cleanings.
The maximum pressure rating is 232 psig.
nano culinary steam filter housings are made from high-quality polished 1,4301 quality 304 or 1.4404 quality 316 stainless steel, engineered specifically for critical air applications. These housings undergo passivation and polishing to achieve a surface finish with a grade of Ra<1.6 µm, ensuring reliability and performance. The filter element features pleated stainless steel mesh construction, which significantly boosts durability and efficiency in the removal of air contaminants.
The cost varies depending on the culinary steam filter size required for your application.
Period: 18 months from date of shipment from the factory or 12 months from date of installation/start up, whichever occurs first • Coverage: 100% parts only. Does not include element - which can vary depending on type and application.
