PRODUCT DETAILS

1. Product Description

This is a food-grade silica gel exclusively for filtration, with INS E551. It is a white uniform powder, non-irritating odor, prepared via a filter material-adapted pore structure design process. Compliant with FDA GRAS, EFSA E551 and USP standards, it has a SiO₂ content of ≥99%. With uniform particle size that won’t clog filter materials, it can synchronously adsorb trace impurities during filtration to improve filtration efficiency and precision with no secondary residues. Suitable for all edible oil filtration processes worldwide, it meets the filtration needs of both large-scale production lines and small-batch processing.

3. Application Description

Its core function is filtration assistance and synchronous trace impurity adsorption for edible oil. It is compatible with all edible oil filtration processes including plate and frame filtration, cloth bag filtration, vacuum filtration and membrane filtration. With uniform particle size, it will not clog filter materials or reduce filtration speed, while adsorbing trace suspended impurities, gums and tiny particles not intercepted by filter materials during filtration to improve filtration precision and produce purer filtered oil.

Suitable for crude oil filtration and finished oil fine filtration of various vegetable oils (soybean oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, etc.) and animal fats, it can extend the service life of filter materials, reduce the frequency of filter material replacement, and lower the filtration processing costs for enterprises.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this product clog common filter materials such as plate and frame filters and membrane filters?

A: No. The product features a precision particle size design exclusive for filtration, with uniform particle size that complements the pores of all common filter materials without blocking filter channels. On the contrary, it can adsorb trace impurities on the surface of filter materials, reduce the probability of filter material clogging and extend their service life.

Q: Is it suitable for continuous filtration production lines of large and medium-sized edible oil enterprises?

A: Yes. The product’s dispersibility is optimized for continuous filtration production lines; it can disperse rapidly and uniformly after being added to oil without affecting the filtration rhythm of the production line. Meanwhile, it can improve the stability of continuous filtration and ensure consistent quality of filtered oil.
