DuPont
Booth 41
Xavan is a versatile polypropylene media carrier designed for both air and liquid filtration applications. Known for its exceptional performance under demanding conditions, Xavan provides several key advantages that ensure optimal filtration efficiency.
One of the standout features of Xavan is its optimal stiffness, which offers high dimensional strength and resistance to elastic deformation under stress. This rigidity helps maintain the integrity of pleated filter structures, ensuring they remain open under pressure and thus enhancing filtration performance. Furthermore, Xavan boasts high air and liquid permeability due to its uniform fibrous structure. This consistency results in low differential pressures and less energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Ease of handling is another significant benefit, as Xavan can be easily integrated into both flat sheet and multi-layer filter media formats without fraying or irregular edges. It is entirely made of polypropylene, ensuring chemical stability and recyclability when used with similar components. Moreover, Xavan is available in food-approved grades, adhering to stringent safety regulations.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, Xavan is backed by a strong technical team ready to assist in selecting the right product for various applications.

Due to the need for responsible and sustainable use of natural resources, high-quality water treatment is becoming increasingly important today and in the future.
Filters for water treatment must meet specific requirements. These include high flow capacity, precise cut point and stability, corrosion and temperature resistance, high dirt holding capacity and cleanability, recycling capability as well as sustainability.
The three dimensional high-performance metal filter cloth Minimesh RPD Hiflo-S opens up new dimensions for filtration, where conventional filter cloths have reached their limits. 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, for example the Minimesh DTW-S.
In addition, the flow conditions are optimized and turbulence around the filter cloth is effectively avoided. The pore size within a batch can be calibrated as desired from 5 μm to 40 μm.
The new filter cloth can be manufactured from standard diameter wires.
Therefore it is possible to weave special materials such as Avesta, Hastelloy, Inconel or titanium in the small pore size range, which previously had not been possible.
Therefore, for the first time RPD Hiflo-S offers a corrosion and temperature resistant filter cloth with pore sizes below 40 μm. The depth structure of RPD Hiflo-S offers a high separation effect without rapid blinding. Dirt holding capacity and cleaning capability have proven to be excellent.

Jowat
Booth 84
The 14th World Filtration Congress in Bordeaux focuses on key topics in the field of filtration and separative techniques, from the separation of liquids and gas to membrane technologies. Sustainability will be a central theme at the congress, in particular filtration processes that promote a sustainable development, including aspects such as water, climate, and energy issues.
Michael Dressler, global product coordinator at Jowat SE, says: “The WFC is a fixture at Jowat. It is where experts meet to address topics in the field of filtration and separative techniques and to discuss the latest developments in science and technology.” Adhesives have become an integral and increasingly significant component in the manufacturing of filters.
Bonding technology opens new avenues for the development of filters in terms of design as well as structure. The targeted and efficient application of an adhesive can optimize the performance of filters.
Dressler further adds: “At Jowat, we consider ourselves to be enablers supplying an adhesive portfolio for the filtration industry that opens access to many innovations.”
One excellent example of this is Jowatherm PUR MR 614.70, an innovative PUR hot melt adhesive which offers optimum lamination results and is free of GHS hazard labeling.
Jowatherm PUR MR 614.70 has been specially developed for the lamination of filters used in air purification applications inside vehicles and buildings. The adhesive efficiently connects several layers of different filter materials while maintaining the maximum possible surface area of the activated carbon for an optimum filtration.
Due to a long open time, Jowatherm PUR MR 614.70 facilitates outstanding results in the lamination process of activated carbon and composite filter media.
Other advantages of Jowatherm PUR MR 614.70 are the product’s neutral odor and very low fogging and emission values. The adhesive can be processed with widely established machine configurations and delivers impressive results with a low application amount. A special highlight of Jowatherm PUR MR 614.70 is the now GHS hazard pictogram-free labeling, which contributes to safe as well as healthy workplaces. Due to a processing temperature about 40°C lower compared to other PUR hot melt adhesives, the product also saves resources and protects the environment.
Lenzing Filtration
Booth 83
Lenzing Filtration is well-known for its premium solid-liquid filtration systems with automatic backwash or with dry and slurry cake discharge. The business was recently commissioned to design a special filtration set-up for the demanding requirements of an innovative copper ore comminution process promising to result in significant energy savings compared to traditional milling techniques.
During the upcoming WFC 14 in Bordeaux, Lenzing Filtration will talk about its achievements with its two-stage filtration concept. The implemented solution showed that the two-stage set-up was able to not only manage to reach the demanding filtration requirements but is also able to guarantee reliable operation and low maintenance expenditure.
To learn more, visit booth number 83 or listen to a Lenzing colleague in room H on 3 July from 3:30–3:50pm in the session “Advances in Filtration and Separation” during WFC 14.
Paco Group
Booth 115
The Paco Group, renowned for high quality metal filter media and finished products Made in Germany, continues to set new standards in filtration technology. In strategic partnership with Heta Verfahrenstechnik, a global leader in separation and filtration systems, Paco is the only manufacturer in Germany offering weaving, filtration, and process technology from a single source – a unique combination that ensures seamless integration and maximum performance.
At the upcoming World Filtration Congress in Bordeaux, Paco will present several cutting-edge solutions. Among them is the new modular filter candle.
Designed for maximum efficiency and flexibility, this innovation features exchangeable modules that form a high-performance filtration unit.
Unlike conventional filters, where the entire unit must be replaced, Paco’s modular approach allows for individual segments to be cleaned or exchanged independently – significantly reducing downtime and operational costs.
Another highlight is the Paco Star filter, engineered with pleated metal wire mesh to dramatically increase the effective filtration surface area. Ideal for use in fluidized bed dryer applications, this robust filter offers a durable, ecofriendly, and economically attractive alternative to traditional textile filters.
Its long service life, reusability, and compatibility with CIP (Cleaning in Place) processes underscore its value in demanding industrial environments.
Hydrogen filtration also plays a central role in Paco’s innovation strategy. In cooperation with Heta, Paco is introducing a powerful new hydrogen filtration system, combining Heta’s high pressure housing technology with Paco’s high-performance filter candles. The system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of efficient hydrogen transport filtration.
Together, Paco and Heta are shaping the future of filtration – with intelligent solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.
