Filtration is the process of separating a dispersed particle from dispersing fluid such a liquid or air, using porous media. You carry out the process by using a filter. General Industries and automotive industries widely adopt the use of filters.
Filter for the Automotive Industry
Cabin air filter helps eliminate harmful pollutants from the air you breathe within the car. You can find it behind the glove box.
Manufacturers make cabin air filters to improve the quality of air and comfort in the cabin area. You can always improve the filtration performance of a cabin air filter by adding a fine fiber meltdown layer. For an added advantage, you can make use of some chemical treatments like antimicrobial and anti-allergic agents.
The engine air filter is present solely to prevent dust and other contaminants from reaching the engine.
Engine air filter usually comprises of a double-layered nonwoven product.
Nonwoven products made of synthetic fibers are used as a highly efficient filter medium for the process of producing some fluid (air and liquid) filters. The nonwoven industry is vital to the production of air filters because their products are very permeable to air, their yarn does not slip, and they have a better filtration performance. Most nonwoven products – bonded mechanically – are spun-bonded and generally thicker than the thermal type. They are usually applied to filter out coarse particles like coal and dust from the air, oil, and other fluids.
General Industrial Filters
A belt filter is usually made up of synthetic fibers. It is an industrial machine, created to separate liquid and solid, especially in the dewatering of sludge in chemical industries. Belt filter also plays a crucial role in the mining and treatment of water.
Milk filters are necessary for the protection of the efficiency of milk cooling equipment. The focus of this filter is on producing efficient and good quality milk.
Sound filters are necessary to trap noisy sound waves. Acoustic insulation (soundproofing) is a method of applying these filters in an industrial setting.
Industrial air filters are usually designed using a sturdy frame combined with some filter media and an activated carbon layer to remove odors and emissions from the industry. You can improve the performance of an industrial air filter by the use of an additional melt-blown layer.
Hydraulic filters are used to filter unwanted contaminants from fluids in hydraulic cylinders. Based on when they are required, the filters may be made up of different materials or types.
