IPP stocks filters in multiple conditions: good used, unused surplus, and new. New filters include custom-built units from IPP's Gale Process Solutions subsidiary. Unused filters were manufactured but never installed, offering new-equipment performance with immediate availability.
IPP stocks filters from a wide range of manufacturers including Sparkler, Schenk, 3V Cogeim, Pfaudler, Gale Process Solutions, Chemap, Alloy Fab, Durco, Guedu, GL Filtrations, Seitz-Werke, JENS OLSEN, Diessel Hildesheim, and others. Browse the current inventory to see available manufacturers.
Yes. IPP stocks new filters, primarily from its Gale Process Solutions (GPS) subsidiary. GPS provides custom fabricated equipment with 12–16 week average delivery. Contact IPP for details on new and unused inventory.
Pressure leaf filters offer continuous, enclosed operation ideal for fine filtration with centrifugal or wet cake discharge. Nutsche filters operate as batch pressure or vacuum vessels for solid-liquid separation, commonly used for pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. IPP stocks both pressure leaf and nutsche filters.
Rosenmund & Cogiem filter dryers combine filtration and drying in a single enclosed, agitated vessel. They feature heated agitators and jackets that allow the product to be filtered, washed, and dried without transfer between equipment, reducing contamination risk and product loss. IPP stocks Rosenmund & Cogiem filter dryers from manufacturers including 3V Cogeim, Guedu, and GL Filtrations.
Yes — many are built to sanitary standards and can be revalidated or retrofitted with new filter media and gaskets. Select units feature sanitary-grade surface finishes including Ra 0.5 and buff polish.
Key factors include particle size, solids concentration, flow rate, operating pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Additionally, consider whether you need combined drying capability (Rosenmund & Cogiem), continuous operation (pressure leaf), or batch vacuum filtration (nutsche). Contact IPP to discuss your specific process requirements.
IPP stocks filters with filtration areas from 0.03 m² (0.32 ft²) for laboratory-scale applications up to 80 m² (861 ft²) for large production operations. Pressure leaf filters offer the largest filtration areas, while Rosenmund & Cogiem and nutsche filters are available in smaller to mid-range sizes. Contact IPP with your filtration area requirements.
IPP stocks filters in stainless steel 316, 316L, 304, 321, and austenitic grades, Hastelloy C-22 and C-276, and glass-lined construction. Stainless steel serves sanitary, pharmaceutical, and food-grade use. Hastelloy serves aggressive media or high-purity applications. Glass-lined provides corrosion resistance for reactive chemicals.
Internal pressure ratings across IPP's filter inventory range from 2 bar (29 psi) to 27.6 bar (400 psi). Temperature ratings range from 20°C (68°F) to 315.6°C (600°F). Vacuum-capable units are available across all three filter subtypes. Contact IPP with your process pressure and temperature requirements.
Yes. A majority of filters in IPP's inventory feature jackets for temperature-controlled filtration. Jacket types include half pipe/limpet and standard jackets. Jacket materials of construction include stainless steel 316, 316L, 304, and carbon steel. Rosenmund & Cogiem filter dryers additionally feature cored agitators for heating and cooling.
Buying used filters from IPP can save up to 50% of capital and 90% of lead time versus buying new. The exact savings depend on filter type, manufacturer, filtration area, material of construction, and condition. IPP provides detailed quotes with full specification matching on request.
