Product catalog summary
Overview: This document discusses Tetratex® ePTFE membrane filter media, highlighting its benefits for the metal processing industry, including optimized filter performance, increased bag life, reduced downtime, and energy consumption.
Key Benefits:
  • Reduced Downtime: Excellent cake release capability minimizes cleaning needs and mechanical stress, extending bag life.
  • Reduced Energy Consumption: Maintaining airflow at reduced filter differential pressure (DP) saves power.
  • Reduced Emissions: The microporous membrane structure achieves near-zero emissions by collecting particulates on the surface.
  • Reduced Production Cost: Lower filter pressure drop increases system airflow, reducing cost per ton of product.
Filtration Challenges: Metallic dust characteristics include submicron particles that penetrate easily, causing emissions and health issues, and agglomerative dust that forms clusters, reducing airflow.
Tetratex® Description: Tetratex is a proprietary expanded microporous PTFE membrane by Donaldson Membranes, laminated to various substrates for filter bags and cartridges. It enhances performance through surface filtration technology.
Applications: Tetratex is used in battery recycling, secondary smelters, electric arc furnaces, and various metal processing applications like thermal cutting, spraying, welding, and foundries.
Case Studies:
  • Tetratex Acrylic Felt: Used in Slovenia for battery recycling with 490 bags, achieving a minimum bag life of 12 months.
  • Tetratex PPS Felt: Used in Australia for electric arc furnaces with 720 bags, maintaining particulate emissions below 5 mg/Nm³.
Partnership and Support: Donaldson Membranes offers global support with technical expertise, innovative design, and comprehensive evaluations to determine suitable filter media solutions.
Contact Information: Donaldson Membranes provides contact details for Europe, Southeast Asia, and America for further inquiries.
