A reusable filtration device for removing particulate matter from a liquid in a liquids processing system, the filtration device comprising:
- (a) a tubular body comprising:
- a body wall defining a rigid support structure having a plurality of inlet openings, the body wall further comprising an inside wall structure and an outside wall structure;
- a central bore extending through the tubular body and being coextensive with the body wall;
- and
- an end portion on each opposing end of the body wall;
- and
- (b) a filtering medium disposed between the inside wall structure and the outside wall structure of the body wall, thereby filling the plurality of inlet openings.
A method of manufacturing a reusable filtration device for removing particulate matter from a liquid in a liquids processing system, said method comprising:
- forming a tubular sleeve from a filtration material;
- disposing the tubular sleeve about a mold core;
- placing the mold core within a mold cavity;
- injection molding the filtration device within the mold cavity, the filtration device comprising a tubular body having a body wall defining a rigid support structure having a plurality of inlet openings, the body wall further comprising an inside wall structure and an outside wall structure;
- a central bore extending through the tubular body and being coextensive with the body wall;
- the body wall terminating in a pair of end portions;
- and the tubular sleeve of filtration material being disposed between the inside wall structure and the outside wall structure of the body wall, thereby filling the plurality of inlet openings.
