Precision engineered manufacturing systems utilizing advanced melt filtration concepts to maximize output and quality consistency.
Within the extrusion line of spunbond, meltblown, and composite nonwoven fabrics, polymer melt purity represents the single most critical variable dictating fiber distribution consistency, spinneret operational life, and overall tensile strength. High-performance polymer melts (predominantly Polypropylene, Polyester, and Polylactic Acid) are subjected to extreme shear rates and temperatures. Under these process windows, gel formation, carbonized residues, and external micro-contaminants pose massive challenges. Left unfiltered, these particles result in spinneret capillary clogging, filament breakage, and significant downtime.
This is where HG Candle Filters (polymer melt filter cartridges) become essential. Characterized by a high filtration surface area relative to their volume, candle filters optimize melt flow distribution, maintain stable shear rates, and prevent stagnation zones where polymer degradation occurs. By utilizing multi-layered stainless steel wire mesh or sintered metal fibers, HG Candle Filters deliver exceptional structural rigidity under pressure differentials (ΔP) exceeding 200 bar, ensuring continuous, stable extrusion for critical hygiene and medical products.
Pujiang HG Nonwoven Machinery Co., Ltd. (operating since 2014) is a globally recognized manufacturer specializing in turnkey PP spunbond, meltblown, and composite nonwoven production lines.

Historically, nonwoven extrusion lines relied on slide-plate or rotary screen changers. While functional, they suffered from small filtration areas, high pressure spikes during screen shifts, and stagnant zones that promoted polymer degradation. The development of multi-element candle filtration systems revolutionized this step. By arraying multiple cylindrical, pleated filter candles within a single heated pressure vessel, manufacturers achieved up to 10 times the filtration surface area in a similar footprint.
Furthermore, HG's custom-engineered candle filters utilize pleated SUS316L sintered metal fibers. The pleating design maximizes the active filtration surface, while the sintered metal fibers provide deep filtration that captures both gel-like contaminants and hard particulate matter. This results in stable melt pressure, uniform spinning viscosity, and significantly less stress on downstream spinnerets.
At our manufacturing facility in Pujiang, China, we have integrated Factory 4.0 paradigms into the production of nonwoven machinery and filter assemblies. From computer-aided flow simulations (CFD) that map melt behavior inside the candle chamber, to high-precision CNC machining of filter core structures, we ensure precise tolerances and performance consistency.
China's robust industrial supply chain for high-grade metallurgy allows us to source premium SUS316L, Hastelloy, and other superalloys at optimized cost bases. This ensures that global procurement officers obtain industrial-grade, high-temperature, high-pressure filtration equipment with fast delivery timelines and reliable structural warranties. This vertical integration is key to maintaining high uptime in automated spunbond lines globally.
How precise polymer filtration enables high-performance nonwoven fabrics across critical industry sectors.
Ultra-fine spunbond fibers used in baby diapers and feminine hygiene products demand defect-free melt flow. Effective filtration prevents micro-gels from creating coarse filaments, ensuring maximum fabric softness, skin safety, and fast fluid absorption.
For surgical gowns and face mask media (SMS/SMMS), reliable barrier protection is critical. Even a tiny micro-hole can compromise safety. High-precision candle filters remove microscopic impurities, ensuring uniform barrier performance across the web.
In high-tensile reusable bags and structural interlinings, structural integrity is key. Our filtration systems ensure uniform polymer distribution, giving the nonwoven web high tear strength and durability for long-term reuse.
Agricultural fabrics must withstand environmental exposure, including UV radiation and varying temperatures. Precise melt filtration ensures consistent stabilizer distribution throughout the fibers, extending crop cover life in the field.

HG candle filter elements are designed to withstand high pressure differentials and high temperatures while maintaining precise pore size. We utilize multilayer combinations of protective mesh, support mesh, and fine-porosity sintered metal fibers or wire mesh. This structured matrix provides excellent depth filtration and mechanical stability.
During high-speed spunbond operations (such as SSMMS configurations running at 600m/min), the polymer flow channel must remain stream-lined. Stagnant zones are eliminated by precision-engineered diverter caps and support cores, which reduce polymer dwell time and prevent thermal degradation (gelling). In addition, our quick-disconnect design allows for fast, safe filter element replacement, reducing maintenance downtime.
