Filter Media Overview

Felts
Operating on the principle of depth filtration, needled felt filter bags are effective at removing both solid and gelatinous particles. 100% pe fibers are needled to create a tortuous path in a three-dimensional medium. Materials available are Polypropylene, polyester, nylon, PTFE and Nomex.

Felt Advantages

• High dirt holding capacity
• Capability to remove gelatinous particles
• Cost-effective filtration due to long service life
  
  

Monofilament Mesh
Also operating on the principle of surface filtration, monofilament mesh filter bags are manufactured from mesh materials in which each strand is a single filament. The non-deformable filaments are woven in a specific, consistent pattern and fusion welded for extra strength. Monofilament meshes are structurally very strong and are available in both nylon and polypropylene with micron ratings from 5 to 800.

Monofilament Mesh Advantages Include:

• Absolute rated medium
• High mechanical strength

Oil Adsorption

Manufactured from a combination of polypropylene felt, meltblown polypropylene and a protective polyester mesh cover, the oil adsorption filter bag series is designed to remove oils and hydrocarbon liquids from aqueous fluids, while providing the benefits of particle retention.

Oil Adsorption Advantages Include:

• Unparalleled adsorption charateristics for oils nad hydrocarbons
• Higher flow rates
• Superior levels of adsorption efficienc via controlled flow velocity
