Sandler, the Bavarian producer of nonwovens, presented its wide range of synthetic filter nonwovens at this year’s Filtech filtration show that took place in Wiesbaden, Germany, showcasing filter, media classed G3 to E11 for application in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, in automotive filtration or materials for synthetic vacuum cleaner bags.

“In recent years, the number of visitors has increased along with the scale of the trade fair. Being a nonwovens manufacturer, the Filtech brings together exactly the audience we are looking to address. Therefore, this year’s show again was a great success for Sandler,” commented Peter Reich, Manager Filtration Products Division.

Filter nonwovens

“Filtech 2013 again lived up to its reputation of being the by far most important and most well-frequented trade show for the filtration industry in Europe. Even an increasing number of exhibitors and visitors from Asia do not want to miss out on this event.”

One object of particular interest were nonwovens for climate filtration that achieve high efficiency even after discharge, thus fulfilling the requirements of the EN779:2012.

Another focus was on pleat filter media. Dr Andreas Burger of Sandler’s Product Development, highlighted the company’s latest developments in this area at the accompanying symposium: pleatable media for HVAC applications as well as for air filtration in the automobile.

Accurate pleating

Excellently processable with all common pleating technologies, synthetic filter nonwovens of Sandler’s sawascreen pleat product series set new standards, the company believes.

A longitudinally oriented fibre structure is said to allow for accurate pleating. The polymers used in the manufacturing of these nonwovens render the pleats stable and resistant to mechanical influences, temperature or humidity.
