Product type
Filter aid powder is a specialized material used in the food processing industry to enhance the filtration process. Typically made from diatomaceous earth, cellulose, or perlite, these powders help to clarify liquids by trapping particles and impurities during filtration. They are commonly employed in the production of beverages, oils, and other liquid food products.
| Material | Diatomaceous earth, cellulose, or perlite |
| Particle size | Typically ranges from 5 to 100 microns |
| Moisture content | Usually less than 5% |
| pH level | Neutral to slightly alkaline, typically 6 to 8 |
| Bulk density | Ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 g/cm³ |
When selecting filter aid powder, buyers should consider the specific application and the type of liquid being filtered. It is important to specify the desired particle size, moisture content, and any relevant certifications such as food safety standards. Additionally, buyers should determine the quantity needed based on production scale to ensure optimal filtration efficiency.
