Filter technology

With suitable filter technology – from filter housings and in-line filters to gun/device filters, screen holders/adapters, suction screens and filter discs – you keep material paths clean, stable and reproducible. We advise on filter fineness/mesh size, flow rate, media/solvent resistance and documentation incl. ∆p/negative pressure monitoring.

Application & benefits

In automotive, industry, plastics, wood and body & paint, coordinated filter technology reduces inclusions, nozzle clogging and pressure fluctuations, protects equipment and stabilizes coating quality and approvals. With suitable filter fineness/mesh sizes, sufficient filter area and defined negative pressure/∆p limits, quality and energy consumption remain balanced.

Tasks & set configuration

We configure filter housings, in-line filters, gun/device filters, screen holders/adapters, suction screens and filter discs according to the medium, pump/gun type, throughput and target quality. Filter fineness, materials (e.g. stainless steel 304/316, PA/nylon), cleaning cycles, replacement labeling and limit values (negative pressure/∆p) are defined; cleaning, replacement and disposal are documented via PDF/CSV export and QR labels.

Product areas & integration

The program includes filter housings (for lines/systems), in-line filters (hose/intermediate pieces), gun & device filters, screen holders/adapters as well as suction screens and filter discs. All solutions are designed for pressure loss, flow rate and process reliability – with clean integration into QS workflows.

For complete workstations, we define filter technology sets with coordinated filter fineness/mesh size, sufficient filter area, negative pressure monitoring and replacement guidelines. We consolidate bills of materials, define minimum stock levels and integrate supply into audit processes – for stable quality and reliable documentation along the value chain.

Frequently asked questions about filter technology

What is included in filter technology for painting and coating?

Filter technology includes filter housings, in-line filters, gun/device filters, screen holders/adapters as well as suction screens and filter discs. They protect pumps, lines, valves and nozzles from particles and stabilize flow and spray pattern.

How do I size filter technology for medium, flow rate and resistance?

Key factors are medium/viscosity, particle size, desired throughput, pressure level and installation position. Choose suitable filter fineness/mesh sizes (e.g. 80–400 µm for screens), sufficient filter area and resistant materials (e.g. stainless steel 304/316, PA/nylon). Pay attention to compatible connections and low pressure loss.

How do I monitor and document filter condition in an audit-compliant way?

Define negative pressure/∆p limits or operating hours as replacement criteria. Record type, filter fineness/mesh size, material, batch/lot number, installation position and date. Labels/QR codes enable clear assignment; PDF/CSV exports ensure audit-proof storage.
