YMAX® filter medias are composite structures with fine interstitial wires or fibers, woven into a heavier wire matrix. This provides efficient filtration performance in the range of 3 μm up to 100 μm. This unique precisely woven filter media can reach dirt holding capacities similar to a high performance fibrefelt, while its pore structure is absolutely homogeneous. This precision allows for optimized flow-rate properties, combined with low cut-points and high structural stability. YMAX® filter mesh removes fine particles even while operating at high process pressures.
An additional characteristic of YMAX®, with its robust fibre-wire composite structure, is that it can be formed and tailored for application in many filter systems. Besides cylindrical and conical designs or plate filters, pleating is also possible. For further stabilization sintering further enhances performance.
Available in widths up to 3.5 meters and lengths up to 20 meters, YMAX® has the unique ability to be used in back-flushing filtration processes. Such mechanical strength has been previously unheard of in filter media with such low cut-point and high dirt holding characteristics.
GKD’s YMAX® is highly versatile in many industrial filtration applications such as mineral oil, vegetable oil, fine chemical, solvent and aqueous processes.
