Customized filter elements
from Siperm R

In most manufacturing processes a means of filtering gases and fluids is essential. Siperm’s filter materials more than meet the current heightened considerations for human safety, product quality and environmental safety.

Sintered filters are classical deep-bed filters that exhibit a predominantly internal mechanical filtration effect. This material has an additional adsorptive effect, retaining a significant part of the solid particulate matter that, because of its geometric proportions and those of the pores, might normally be expected to have passed through the filter. With gas filtration, due to the effect described above, particles approx. 1/3 of the pore size are retained. Siperm filters are used for deep-bed filtration in the following applications:

• with high viscosity fluids
• with high and low temperatures
• for separating out catalysts in suspension
• for fluids with pressure variation
• wherever good reverse washability and perfusion is needed.

Siperm highly porosity filter elements also make excellent separators in drying plants:

• water from compressed air and gases in compressors, compressed air lines and recoolers
• oil from compressed and gases in food, packing, textile and electronics industries
• particulate matter from compressed air, gases and fluids in the chemical, plastics industries, in bulk powder processing plants.

Siperm – environmentally friendly

As far as environmental technology is concerned, Siperm filter material is the point of focus when dealing with compressed air, compressed air condensates, gases and fluids. Siperm process filters are used as protection against corrosion in plants for scrubbing gases of pollutants and those cleaning gases and industrial fluids (including aggressive and hot fluids). On account of Siperm filters’ high chemical resistance, their use has the added advantage of improved safety.

High porous Siperm material distinguishes itself not just because of the greater economic benefits it brings, or its adaptability, but is also an excellent, modern, homogeneous gas separation system. Homogeneous distribution of pores, long working life and simple maintenance is only natural with Siperm.

An advantage of Siperm plastic sinter material Hp is that it is possible to manufacture pieces to almost any required shape or form, which is corrosion-resistant, hydrophobic or after special treatment, hydrophilic, chemical resistant and virtually friction-free.
