Viledon sinTexx Plus filter cartridges to minimize emissions

September 04, 2012 - Germany

A corrugated polyester medium with a nanofiber lining from Freudenberg Filtration Technologies protects both humans and machines, and cuts energy costs into the bargain. Installed in Viledon sinTexx filter cartridges, these innovative media achieve optimum values when dealing with fine and difficult-to-handle dust and smoke, they outperform the media used hitherto.

With an innovative medium technology, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies has redefined dust removal from smokes produced in welding, cutting and coating processes: Viledon sinTexx Plus filter cartridges made of corrugated polyester nonwovens with a nanofiber lining assure efficacious filtration of ultra-fine, difficult-to-handle dusts and smokes that have to be extracted on the spot. All Viledon filter cartridge geometries can be fitted with this medium technology.

Compared to conventional, corrugated polyester materials and to ePTFE membranes, the new Viledon sinTexx Plus media with a nanofiber lining offer four vital advantages: firstly, they have a higher collection efficiency. Threshold limit values for the workplace can thus be reliably complied with, employees and the environment, too, are lastingly protected from harmful emissions. Secondly, the higher collection efficiency is assured right from the start. Numerous filter media do not achieve good values until they have been in operation for some time: when pores clog up, what are called dust cakes are deposited on the filters’ surface, causing them to become less permeable.

Thirdly, the corrugated sinTexx Plus filter media with a nanofiber lining offer a lower flow resistance, which renders them more efficient. This significantly reduces the power and compressed-air consumption of the filter systems concerned, and extends their useful lifetime. Fourthly, they do not require the initial precoating otherwise customary. In this process, the conventional filters are provided with a special powder before commissioning. This may entail faults that with Viledon sinTexx Plus filter cartridges are totally precluded. The filter cartridges with the new filter medium are easier to handle, they require less maintenance, and the costs are concomitantly lower.

The new Viledon sinTexx Plus filter cartridge with a corrugated filter medium plus a nanofiber lining from Freudenberg Filtration Technologies thus constitute a significant step forward in the filtration of ultra-fine, difficult-to-handle dusts and smokes.
