We currently manufacture three types of element:
All elements are supplied in a single size (1,000 mm long by 60 mm diameter) that has been
proven to achieve optimum performance for particulate removal and dry scrubbing.
For optimumperformance and reliability, all
filter elements are formed from engineered
fibres using a fully computerised process. During manufacture, forming times and pressures are
strictly maintained to achieve stable pressure drop and bulk density. Every tenth element
manufactured is tested and recorded on a database then packed in bar coded packaging to ensure
complete traceability.
For the best possible performance, each
element is fully machined to high tolerances. A specially
formed surface allows dust to form a conditioned layer that assists the removal of submicron
particulates. Gas flow is improved, and more evenly distributed, by the unique tapered profile of
each element. The taper alsomakes it easier to clean the filter element.
As well as ceramic and mineral filter elements,
also offers customers a wide range of
open-ended tubes for use for insulation and other forms of filtration.

At
our continual R & D investment has maintained our product and service leadership in
an intensely competitive marketplace.
Before designing and manufacturing our own filter elements, we purchased more than 200,000
elements from other manufacturers between 1989 and 2001. From this experience we discovered
serious quality issues, ranging from wall thickness and neck alignment problems to filter-media
strength issues and wide variations in bulk density and pressure drop.
For this reason we have developed and nowmanufacture our own filter media.

G3 is a ceramic element (up to 1,200°C) with a typical differential pressure
of 25 mmWG at 3 cm/sec.
G3M is a ceramic element with the same specification as G3 but with a
microporous finish.
G4 is a mineral element (up to 750°C) with a typical differential pressure
of 20 mmWG at 3 cm/sec.
