HJS
Hall 8, Stand D22
HJS (Menden, Germany) provides a revolutionary approach to emission reduction through its leading-edge sintered metal filter technology – SMF.
In the last 15 years, more than 2 million m² of the 0.4 mm thin sintered metal filter material have been produced on HJS's fully automated production lines.
SMF is a mechanically and thermally highly stable filter medium that can be pleated and welded and is produced as a continuous belt with a thickness of only 0.4 mm.
In combination with the high efficiency of 10 µm, SMF is particularly suitable for hot gas filtration.
In many industrial manufacturing processes, very high temperatures of more than 800°C/1500°F produce large emission loads with high solid contents (dust loads) which must be filtered efficiently.
Due to the low temperature resistance of the textile bag filters used today, the exhaust gases must therefore be cooled down extensively at the cost of high energy losses.
Alternatively, with the help of SMF the hot gases can be directly dedusted in order to save immense amounts of energy and CO2 emissions.
HJS's current investment focus is on the industrialization of the manufacturing processes required for the production of the filter elements.

Haver & Boecker
Hall 8, Stand C13
In addition to its MINIMESH S filter cloth, Haver & Boecker has developed a high performance filter cloth that is fundamentally different from all previous woven metal media. Its 3-dimensional weave technology offers properties that make industrial filtration processes quicker, safer and more efficient. The open surface over an area is significantly increased due to the weaving structure. The medium’s flow-through rate can be doubled when compared to conventional filter cloth having the same pore size.
The pore size can be calculated beforehand. With these precision pores it is possible to attain a higher separation effect and shape stability. The pore size within a batch can be calibrated as desired from 5 µm to 40 µm.
The depth structure of RPD HIFLO-S offers a high separation effect without rapid blinding. Dirt holding capacity and cleaning capability are excellent.
RPD HIFLO-S can be manufactured from standard diameter wires. This has a positive effect on cost. Moreover, it is now possible to weave special materials such as Avesta, Hastelloy, Inconel or titanium in the small pore size range, which previously was not possible. So, for the first time RPD HIFLO-S offers a corrosion and temperature resistant filter cloth with pore sizes below 40 µm.
For a given pore size, RPD HIFLO-S provides twice the flow of comparable filter cloths, with excellent cut-point and stability, corrosion and temperature resistant special alloys and optimum dirt holding and purging properties.
