Manufacturing industrial filters

The technology of dust extraction is slowly coming of age - possibly brought about as much through environmental awareness and concern as from commercial considerations. Nevertheless, it is to the advantage of all, as improved extraction/collection not only improves the environment, but also frequently results in increased product recovery.


Whilst there are many types of extractors used in industrial processes, the ubiquitous bag-house is possibly the most common, and although it has many forms, it usually consists basically of a fan and filter elements in a housing - with some type of device for periodic cleaning.


It is inevitable that as the world economy develops and improves, those individuals or organisations that historically have imported their requirements, will need to consider whether their local or proposed market has reached a sufficient size to justify in-house manufacturing instead. This will not only result in financial savings, but will create local employment, and assist in improving their country's economy. Quite frequently, there are grants and other inducements to this end.


Micronair have been involved in the manufacture of filter products for more than 25 years, and have designed systems and built a range of machinery for producing the entire spectrum of filter devices used in commercial and industrial environments.


We are able to provide the expertise and know-how that will permit the manufacture of these filters, including the methodology of assembly, the supply and commissioning of specialised machinery, the sourcing and selection of the correct materials and components, and the construction of specialised laboratory equipment to test the finished products, or to conduct on-site installations.


All stages of the operation are covered by individually prepared manuals - including the various mathematical calculations required to correctly size the filters for specific applications, comprehensive lists of material and media sources, and the general assembly techniques. Additionally, we have a vast and comprehensive database covering the specifications and patterns of most filter sleeves, bags, tubes & elements. These are of course available to our clients at no extra cost, and email now means that both the written and drawn details can be readily transmitted


Our expertise also includes several related technologies, including the manufacture of absolute (HEPA) filters, where the correct media usage and methods of fabrication are critical for satisfactory performance.

Here again, we are able to provide the sources of the materials, the detailed specifications of the major components, and individually prepared technical manuals.


Other areas of expertise include the manufacture and applications of:

HEPA filters for absolute filtration
Ceramic elements for high temperature applications
Filter cloths for liquid/solid separation
Filters for domestic & commercial air conditioning
