A filtration module (1) has a filter unit (2) with at least one filter element (6) arranged between first and second plates (4, 5). The filter element (6) has at least one layer of filter material (9, 10) sealed off at a periphery by an edge seal (12). The plates (4, 5) are pressed against each other by a resilient bracketing profile (3) that engages around the plates (4, 5) at their opposite side surfaces (21, 22, 23, 24). The bracketing profile (3) has a base (13) that curves inward transversely to the longitudinal direction (14) of the plates (4, 5) and that is delimited by lateral brackets (16, 17) that are bent inward at their free ends (18, 19) to engage laterally around a surface (20) of the filter element (6) facing away from the base (13). A method also is provided for producing a filtration module.

A device and method for removing debris from a process fluid are described herein. Specifically, a sanitary disc strainer includes a strainer body, a moveable guide rod assembly, moveable within the strainer body, a plurality of grooved discs stacked on the moveable guide rod assembly, and an actuator for moving the moveable guide rod assembly to compress and decompress the plurality of grooved discs.

The present invention relates to a filtering device for liquids and in particular for filtering fuels for aeronautical use (avio).

A filter assembly comprises a filter housing defining an internal volume having an inner cross-section defining an inner cross-sectional distance, the filter housing having a base and a sidewall. A filter element is disposed within the internal volume. The filter element comprises a filter media pack at least a portion of which has an outer cross-section defining an outer cross-sectional distance that is substantially equal to the inner cross-sectional distance of the internal volume of the filter housing. A support structure is coupled to at least one longitudinal end of the filter media pack.
