The Difficulty of Stainless Steel Housing of Biofilter in Precision Machining: Process Skills and Key Points

2024-06-28
In the field of biopharmaceuticals and medical devices, biofilters play a vital role, as the core component responsible for removing and filtering microorganisms, particulates and other contaminants in liquids or gases, the corrosion resistance, precision and quality of stainless steel materials have become the focus of the manufacture of biofilter housings. But in fact, the machining process of stainless steel housing is also full of challenges.
      Next,this article will introduce you to the difficulties and process requirements of the processing of the stainless steel shell of the biofilter.

Selecting materials  severely according to product characteristics
      The housing of a biofilter often requires extremely high processing accuracy, including dimensional accuracy and surface finish. At the same time, since biofilters may be used in sterile environments, their housings also need to have excellent corrosion resistance, high temperatures, and cleanliness to ensure a clean processing environment and avoid microbial contamination.
      Stainless steel is the best material choice. It not only has ultra-high deformation resistance and hardness, but also can cope with the high-strength cutting and processing strength generated in the machining process. At the same time, the heat treatment and corrosion resistance of stainless steel are also quite excellent, and the temperature of 304 stainless steel can be as high as 800°C.

Cautious operation of processing technology
      The stainless steel housing of a standard biofilter needs to go through multiple processing steps. From the early stage of material selection, drawing design, blanking and cutting, welding, to the surface and chemical treatment, assembly and inspection of the product after forming, each step needs to be carefully and meticulously operated.
      Among them, the welding process is the key point, the quality of welding is not only related to the stability and integrity of the overall structure of the product, but also directly affects the operation safety of the product! Improper operation of the welding process can even seriously lead to liquid leakage or rupture during the operation of the biofilter!

      Developing technology is the key to sustainability
      As a global enterprise with a deep understanding of precision machining technology, Zhuhai Chuntian Technology Co., Ltd. (CTT) has not only accumulated rich experience in the field of precision manufacturing, but also committed to continuous innovation and process research, through continuous exploration and practice, and gradually overcome various difficulties and challenges encountered in the working process, which also makes us gain a high degree of  trust from Pall corporation and other enterprises.
      In the future, CTT will always maintain keen market insight and forward-looking thinking, and continue to promote the progress of the precision manufacturing industry!

Comprehensive Guide to Flanges: Benefits, Types, and Applications

A flange is a protruded ridge, lip, or rim, either external or internal, designed to increase strength, facilitate attachment, or stabilize connections in mechanical systems. In manufacturing, particularly in piping systems, flanges are disc-like components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They are typically used in pairs, secured with bolts and nuts, and often include a gasket to ensure a leak-tight seal. Flanges are critical for creating robust, maintainable connections that can withstand various operational stresses.

What are the equipment for manufacturing stainless steel flanges?

The manufacturing of stainless steel flanges is a delicate and complex process that involves a variety of high-precision and high-performance equipment.  These machines ensure that flanges meet high standards of quality, accuracy, and reliability at every stage of production.  From the preparation of raw materials to the testing of the final product, each step requires specific equipment to be completed.  Here is an overview of some key equipment and their functions:

The origin history of flange

In the modern industry, flange connection, as a fundamental and critical technology, is widely used for secure connections between pipelines, valves, and equipment. The term "flange" comes from the English word, which literally translates to "edge" or "wing edge." In the industrial field, it typically refers to a disc-shaped metal part used to tightly connect and seal two or more components by having holes on it and fastening with bolts. This article aims to explore the historical origins of flanges and their development through the Industrial Revolution and subsequent technological innovations.
