Filters for manufacturing

From our factory in the UK, our expert team at Microtech Filters, manufacture a range of filters for manufacturing, including Cartridge filters, Bag Filters and panel filters. These filters are used in multiple areas of the manufacturing industry, which can range from use in extraction systems in factories to protect staff and stop contamination, to use within equipment and robots involved in the manufacturing process. Some examples of manufacturing where filters are applicable are:

Plasma cutting and Laser Cutting

Plasma cutting often uses compressed air or other gases to generate an accelerated jet of hot plasma in the form of a plasma torch to cut through a range of conductive metals. Laser cutting uses a small, focussed laser beam that generates heat to cut through a variety of materials to form intricate and accurate shapes. Both of these processes require filters to operate safetly and effectively, including gas filters and air filters.

Powder Coating

Powder coating uses a dry powder to coat a material. The most common form of powder coating using electrically charged particles that are sprayed onto a grounded material, causing the powder to adhere to the surface. The powder coated material is then cured using heat or ultraviolet light. Powder coating involves the use of chemicals in preparing materials for coating and the powder coating itself is comprised of very fine particles. As such, a range of filters are needed for powder coating, including air filters, vacuum filters and water filters.

Textile manufacturing and Lint removal

In the textile manufacturing industry, controlling the amount of lint produced is essential. Lint is the name for the accumulation of visible textile fibres, produced as part of the textile manufacturing process. Lint needs to be removed as it can clog parts of machinery, affect the quality of the final products being produced, cause a fire risk and of course cause respiratory problems if breathed in. As such, filters for manufacturing textiles is vital and is where Microtech Filters can help.

• Shotblast
• Welding Fumes
• Oil Mist
• Use in Industrial Equipment
