Plastics Industry
The manufacture of plastics or films and fibres involves as an essential step the filtration of the extruded mass or the filtration of raw materials for polymerization. GKD metal wire meshes and GKD filter elements are used in these filtration steps all over the world.
High Degrees of Filtration, Customer-Specific Sieves
- SolidWEAVE metal wire meshes are applied in degrees of filtration from 1 µm nominal to 2 mm.
- GKD manufactures system-specific sieves and filtration elements individually according to the customer's requirements.
Process Improvement Thanks to Optimized Dutch Weaves
The right selection of the filtration medium provides in some cases, particularly in the range of filtration rates <100 µm, considerable optimization potential in terms of quality and process reliability. GKD has been able to work out significant improvements for a great number of customers by using optimized dutch weaves (ODW) in a wide range of processes.
