Shop used, secondhand and surplus filters from IPP – in stock and engineered for chemical, pharmaceutical, and food-grade applications

Streamline your process with IPP’s ready-to-ship filters designed to reduce waste, recover product, and meet regulatory standards

Used filters are essential components in countless process operations where solids must be separated from liquids. Whether you’re removing fine particulates, clarifying solutions, or recovering valuable materials, industrial filters play a critical role in improving product quality, protecting downstream equipment, and maintaining compliance. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP supplies used, secondhand, and surplus filters from 20 global plant sites and maintains an extensive inventory of 15,000+ process systems.

IPP stocks a wide range of filter types—pressure leaf, plate and frame, cartridge, vacuum drum, nutsche, and candle filters—from leading brands like Sparkler, Pall, Funda, and Millipore.

Primary uses across industries

  • In chemical processing, for separating solids from liquids in catalyst recovery, resin filtration, and acid clarification
  • In pharmaceuticals, for sterile filtration of intermediates, APIs, and final formulations
  • In food and beverage, for wine clarification, edible oil filtration, and sugar refining
  • In environmental and wastewater, for sludge dewatering and contaminant removal

Types of materials processed

  • Slurries, suspensions, and solutions with fine particulates
  • Heat-sensitive or viscous liquids requiring gentle handling
  • Solvent-based, aqueous, or corrosive mixtures

Common materials of construction

Industrial filters are built to resist corrosion, handle pressure, and maintain hygiene:

  • Stainless steel for sanitary, pharma and food-grade use
  • Carbon steel for robust chemical and utility processes
  • Hastelloy, titanium or lined steel for aggressive media or high-purity applications

Key features of process filters

  • Multiple filter formats to match flow rate and solids content
  • Jacketed options for temperature-sensitive operations
  • ASME code-rated vessels available for pressure applications
  • Options for automated cake discharge or backflushing
  • Compact, modular systems designed for integration and easy maintenance

Learn more about industrial filtration technologies and applications from Chemical Processing.

Find your industrial filter at IPP

Search the IPP inventory or contact IPP’s filter experts to locate the right used, surplus, or secondhand filter for your process. With trusted manufacturers, quality systems, and rapid delivery, IPP helps you reduce downtime and improve filtration efficiency.

Filter FAQ

Have questions about Filters or our services? Learn more about our products and why customers choose IPP.

What’s the difference between pressure leaf and plate and frame filters?
Pressure leaf filters offer continuous, enclosed operation ideal for fine filtration, while plate and frame units are great for batch operations and easier cake discharge.
Are used filters suitable for pharmaceutical or food processing?
Yes – many are built to sanitary standards and can be revalidated or retrofitted with new filter media and gaskets.
What factors should I consider when selecting a filter?
Key factors include particle size, solids concentration, flow rate, operating pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility.
What are the benefits of buying used or secondhand process equipment from IPP?
IPP offers significant savings, reduced lead times, and global support based on more than 47 years of equipment expertise.
