TEX filters are manufactured using a rigid internal core wrapped with continuous yarn in a tightly controlled winding pattern that creates distinct depth filtration zones. The winding tension and graded density allow for progressive particulate capture, reducing early clogging and maintaining stable flow. A napped yarn surface increases the total filtration area, while the inclusion of an inner core cover minimizes fiber migration in critical processes. The robust design withstands differential pressures up to 5 bar at 20°C and operates reliably across a range of fluid types, making it suitable for demanding clarification and pre-filtration applications where consistent retention and long filter life are essential.
- High Dirt-holding Performance: The depth-wound yarn structure maximizes contaminant retention, supporting long service intervals and fewer changeouts.
- Low Pressure Drop with Steady Throughput: Filtration design enables efficient flow even under variable process loads or when handling high particulate volumes.
- Precision-wound Construction: Uniform yarn layering delivers consistent particle removal and structural reliability in dynamic flow conditions.
- Reduced Fiber Migration: An integrated inner core cover helps prevent yarn fibers from entering the filtrate, improving downstream protection.
- Chemical and Thermal Adaptability: Optional core materials support compatibility with elevated temperatures and chemically aggressive process media.
- Reproducible Quality Control: Manufactured under QA standards with COC available for validated or regulated installations.
- Food and Pharma Ready: Made using FDA-compliant yarns for safe use in beverage, food, and pharmaceutical processes.
- Wound Fiber Yarn Options: Available in polypropylene, polyester, cotton, rayon, and fiberglass depending on application and process compatibility.
- Pharma Process Pre-filtration: Used in upstream filtration to protect membranes and reduce loading on final filters in pharmaceutical plants.
- Beverage and Syrup Clarification: Removes suspended solids from syrups, juices, and process water to improve clarity and taste.
- Chemical and Solvent Handling: Filters aggressive chemicals, cleaning agents, and industrial solvents in production lines.
- Marine and Offshore Water: Applied in ballast, cooling, or onboard utility water systems for pre-treatment and particle reduction.
- Downstream System Protection: Acts as a reliable barrier to shield sensitive membranes and equipment from particulate fouling.
