From filtration specialist Donaldson comes a new high-performance filter media, Synteq XP. Compared to previously available filter media, Synteq XP is said to increase the efficiency significantly while simultaneously reducing the energy consumption due to a much lower differential pressure.
This way, says Donaldson, up to 40 per cent additional energy savings can be achieved, and in order to make optimal use of this high savings potential, the company offers a filter element replacement for the previously available housing ranges.
Synteq XP is described as combining two innovations in one product: a unique fibre blend filtration media and a new manufacturing technology — while conventional filter media have been produced for decades by adding binder, the new Synteq XP polyester fibres and micro-fine borosilicate fibres are thermally melted together without using binder.
Use of the polyester fibres creates a long-term stable structure which sustainably supports the high filtration efficiency and dirt holding capacity of the borosilicate fibres. AS a result, Synteq XP combines highest filtration performance by the extraordinary depth of the fibre bed, with an optimal dirt holding capacity and great stability.
Performance data of Synteq XP compressed air filters, which are offered for various applications as micro and sub-micro filters, are tested and validated according to the international filter standard ISO 12500-1. Compatibility of the media with all standard contaminants in compressed air (mineral and synthetic compressor oils, their residue and other lubricants, water and solids) was tested in Donaldson's laboratories and in real applications.
