Purchase Requirement for Filtration Equipment – South Africa

Filtration Equipment; I am sourcing equipment for a small-scale filtration system to clarify plant extracts used as a cosmetic raw material. We will be processing batches of approximately 5–10 kg of extract; The extract is prepared in 60:40 glycerine/water and will be warmed (≈40 °C) to reduce viscosity prior to filtration; System Requirements; We require a two-stage filtration system; 1. Stage 1 — Coarse Filtration; Target particle capture: 100–120 μm; Suitable for removal of plant solids/debris; Prefer stainless steel or polymer filter bags or screens; Housing compatible with viscous liquids; 2. Stage 2 — Fine Filtration; Target particle capture: 50 μm; Cartridge-style preferred; Media must be cosmetic-grade (no fibre shedding); Housing with secure seals and rated for appropriate pressure; Pump Requirements (or mechanical pressure chamber); We need recommendations for a pump that can; Handle viscous fluids (warmed glycerine/water); Feed both filter housings reliably; Be compatible with cosmetic extracts (materials of construction suitable); Please advise on; Filter housings and media you recommend (include part numbers); Maximum operating pressures and temperatures; Availability of pressure gauges and safety relief valves; international shipping); Media replacement costs (e.g, bag filters); Any accessories needed for assembly; The end use is non-hazardous cosmetic material intended for B2B supply to cosmetic formulators; — I look forward to your recommendations and quote.
