PRODUCT DATA SCHEDULE

FILTER MEDIA CONSTRUCTIONS

FELT: This versatile needle-punched fibre construction provides true depth filtration in a low cost form. It is dense yet highly permeable to allow greater dirt holding capacity at increased flow rates.

MONOFILAMENT MESH: This mesh material is constructed of single filament yarns woven in a precise manner. As the most costly material this offers both high strength, as well as the ability for reuse.

APPLICATIONS BY INDUSTRY (MONOFILAMENT AND FELT FILTER BAGS)

- Paint and ink; Chemical; Food and beverage; Oil production; Cosmetics; Plating.

* LENGTH VARIES ACCORDING TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS.

AFRINATCOM HAS THE ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE CUSTOM FILTER BAGS TO YOUR EXACT SPECIFICATIONS.

FINISHES AND COVERS (FELT ONLY)

GLAZED: Outer surface of medium is heated under controlled temperatures to thermally lock fibers and reduce the possibility of fiber migration.

                  FIBERS AND MICRON RATINGS

SUPPORT/SEALING MECHANISMS

STEEL RINGS AND STAINLESS STEEL RINGS: Available in all sizes.

STAINLESS STEEL BANDS: Available in stainless steel bands for commercial housings.

DRAW STRINGS: All available media can be constructed into tie-on filter bags of any size and shape. Drawstrings can be sewn-in to provide faster tying.

YARN WOUND FILTER CARTRIDGES

The depth wound cartridge, with its tapered passages, assures the best filtration available. All filter cartridges are wound in a precise manner to provide true depth filtration through hundreds of tapered passageways. Depth wound cartridges offer gradual pressure increase, compared to the sudden increase with surface type filters. Progressive dirt removal from surface to core provides a high dirt holding capacity. One of the main advantages of the wound filter cartridge is its exceptionally high structural strength that can withstand severe operating and handling conditions.
