Material is typically selected based on chemical compatibility, expected service life, and cost considerations. For reference, the material options below are generally listed from least to most expensive within each category.
In most configurations, materials of construction (MOC) are divided into three key categories:
These are the components that come into direct contact with the liquid being filtered. Examples include the inside of the filter tank, filter cartridge, plates, and port components.
These components do not contact the process fluid. Examples include the filter tank exterior, support legs or mounting, jacket, swing bolts, lifting devices, and external hardware.
Gaskets provide critical sealing between filter components. Selection is based on chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure, and regulatory requirements.
Surface finish is an important consideration in applications involving sanitary requirements, cleanability, visual inspection, regulatory compliance, or internal quality control standards.
Sparkler will help select the best discharge mode based on your product, solids, and process goals.
| Finish / Treatment | Description |
|---|---|
| Electropolish | Corrosion-resistant, ultra-smooth finish ideal for sanitary and FDA-grade applications. Available standalone or post-polishing |
| Glass Bead Blast | Smooth matte finish that improves visual uniformity and cleanability |

Sparkler® Filters offers fully customizable port configurations to meet the requirements of your process and plant standards. Port type and size affect not only installation, but also cleanability, flow performance, and regulatory compliance.
Sparkler® Filters can be configured with a wide range of mechanical and structural options to meet your operational, mobility, and installation needs. The following options apply to most filter lines, contact us for confirmation.
A scavenger plate is used to minimize unfiltered product remaining in the vessel, especially important in high-value or solvent-sensitive processes where maximum recovery of filtrate is essential. See Step 7 on attached process overview.
Optional jacketed filter vessels are available for temperature-sensitive applications requiring heating or cooling of the product during filtration.

Filter media plays a vital role in clarity, chemical resistance, and filtration performance. Sparkler provides a standard recommendation per filter type and size, but customers may always specify alternatives. Learn more about filter media
