GKD will demonstrate how stainless steel woven wire mesh filter media can achieve a 25% higher flow rate, without any changes to the size of the mesh openings.

The company says users will benefit from significant savings in terms of space requirements and energy consumption.

At the exhibition it will showcase a range of products that all feature the enhanced property including cartridges for ballast water filtration, policing filters for low pressure exhaust gas recirculation in latest and next generation petrol and diesel engines and NeverLeak filter leaves — re-screenable plate filter elements for precoat filtration applications.

Markus Knefel, head of research and development at GKD, will also be delivering a series of talks on the development of efficient filter media at FILTECH which runs from February 24-26 in Cologne, Germany.
