Standard filter cloths with small pore sizes lead to reduced flow rates and significant pressure loss in the production process. The cloth structure of a three-dimensional weave increases the number of pores and thus the open surface over the same area. For a given pore size, the flow rate is more than doubled compared to conventional Dutch Weaves. The pore size within a batch can be calibrated from 5 µm to 40 µm.

Conventional woven wire filter cloths can cause turbulences. Turbulences with the 3D-filter cloth are avoided. Its pore size can be calculated precisely in advance and adapted to the respective requirements. Reliable and objective evaluation methods were developed and experimentally validated by glass bead tests and air flow-through measurements.

The predictable pore sizes of the 3D-Mesh can achieve extremely high cut-points and dimensional stability. The independent institute Whitehouse Scientific has tested and confirmed these properties. As an additional quality assurance measure, the filter cloth is bubble point tested.

The depth structure of the 3D woven wire filter cloth facilitates high separation efficiency without rapid blinding leading to longer filtration processes between cleaning intervals and longer service life for greater production reliability.

The 3D metal filter cloth is woven from standard diameter wires making it possible to weave special materials even in the small pore size range. Thus, filter cloth with pore sizes below 40 µm can be manufactured in corrosion- and temperature-resistant alloys.

The properties of the 3D filter mesh make it particularly suitable for high end water treatment.
