Metal mesh filters and filter elements for hot gas filtration

Hot gas filtration

Filtration meshes and filter elements for dust filtration are used for many different filtration tasks in the chemical industry, renewable energy applications and combustion processes. In the pharmaceutical industry, our elements are used as vapor filters.

Filtration meshes made of stainless steel can be used wherever polymer filter media are not suitable due to increased process temperatures or risk of fire. On the basis of our production technologies, existing bag filter systems can just as easily be changed over to our metal mesh as other filter systems that use filter cartridges or filter platforms. Depending on the application, the existing filtration meshes can be selected for either high or low dust loads.

For tasks in hot gas filtration applications, we produce filtration meshes for high and low dust loads, optimized plain dutch weaves (ODW) for good filtration rates and excellent regenerability, as well as filter elements for bag filters and other designs.

Benefits for hot gas filtration

• Temperatures up to 2,012 °F (1,100°C)
• Special materials for highly corrosive process conditions
• Good regenerative capacity
• Filter elements for bag filter systems and other designs
• GEKUPLATE media for inherently stable cartridge designs
