Filter cloths

Filter cloths play an important role in systems that purify air or liquids. They are used to filter unwanted particles, such as dust, dirt, grease and odours, from the air or liquid.

These filter cloths are indispensable in a wide range of applications, from air treatment systems in office buildings to extraction systems in industrial environments and catering kitchens.

• Air handling units: These units ensure a constant supply of clean air in large buildings such as offices, schools and hospitals. Filter cloths in air handling systems capture dust, pollen and other air pollutants, significantly improving air quality.
• MVHR units: MVHR units use filter cloths to purify both incoming and outgoing air. This not only increases energy efficiency, but also prevents polluted air from recirculating in the building.
• Fan coil units: These compact systems are often used in hotel rooms, offices, schools and residential complexes. Filter cloths in fan coil units prevent dust and dirt from accumulating in the system, which is essential for quiet and efficient operation.

• Air conditioning units: Air conditioners are susceptible to clogging from dust and dirt. Filter cloths protect internal components, such as the condenser and fans, and ensure a constant flow of clean, cooled air.
• Odour filter cabinets: These devices are often used in industrial environments and kitchens. Carbon filter cloths in odour filter cabinets remove unpleasant odours and harmful substances, ensuring a pleasant and safe working environment.
• Extraction systems in the catering industry: In kitchens, extraction systems are equipped with special filter cloths to capture grease and smoke. This reduces the risk of fire, improves air quality and complies with hygiene regulations.

• Hospitality: In restaurants and kitchens, filter cloths play an important role in extracting grease and smoke, contributing to a clean and safe working environment. They also improve air quality in dining areas.
• Offices: Office buildings rely on air handling systems with filter cloths to create a healthy and productive working environment. They reduce allergens, dust and other contaminants in the air.

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities: High hygiene standards make filter cloths essential in air treatment systems to guarantee clean air and prevent infections.
• Industrial buildings: Filter cloths are used in production halls and factories to remove dust, vapours and other harmful substances from the air, ensuring a safe working environment.
• Schools and public buildings: Filter cloths help to create a healthy living environment, which is particularly important in areas with high occupancy rates.

Filter cloths are available in various types and materials, each with specific applications:

• Synthetic filter cloth: This lightweight and durable material is suitable for general applications and offers good protection against unpleasant substances.
• Glass fibre filter cloth: Resistant to high temperatures and harsh conditions, making it ideal for industrial applications.

• Carbon filter cloth: These cloths contain activated carbon that effectively absorbs odours and harmful gases. They are often used in odour filter cabinets and kitchens.
• Filter foam filter cloth: Flexible and space-saving, ideal for appliances where compactness is important, such as fan coil units.

Replacing filter cloths is essential to ensure efficiency and air quality. Follow these steps for correct replacement:

1. Switch off the system: Ensure that the device is completely switched off to work safely.

2. Remove the old filter cloth: Carefully remove the used filter cloth from the holder, taking care to prevent dust and dirt from spreading.

3. Clean the holder: Clean the holder with a cloth or vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.

4. Insert the new filter cloth: Ensure that the new filter cloth is correctly positioned in the holder and is securely fastened.

5. Check the system: Switch on the system and check that the air flow and operation are normal.

It may be necessary to cut the filter cloths to size first. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of filter cloths ensure optimal performance of the ventilation systems and a healthy and comfortable indoor climate.
