Mechanism Analysis and Dairy Filtration Experimental Research on Porous 1Cr18Ni9 Stainless Steel Components

Abstract:

Cool-drawn 1Cr18Ni9 stainless steel wires of 0.1~0.5 mm can be woven and punched to prepare porous metal filters. There is certain amount of connected micron pores in the transformable components. Filtration mechanism of this porous material is investigated and three series of samples with different diameter of wires, porosities and filtrating ranges are prepared. Filtration performances compares experiments are carried out on a kind of chocolate milk with the brand of Sanyuan. Three-dimensional microscopy, KEYENCE VHX-600, is applied to investigate the diaphragms before and after filtrating. Portable contamination analysis kit, HPCA-2, is chosen to identify the degree of contaminating. Results indicate that these kind of porous metal filters have valid solid/fluid separating effects. Wires diameters and other preparation parameters will identify the porosity. Thinner wires contribute to more and tinier porous and will block particles effectively. Thickness of filters plays the similar role of filtration layer. Higher porosity will increase the cleanliness of the passing fluid and decrease the filtering efficiency. The data in this paper provide technical support to the application in dairy filtration industry.
