The selection of the right filter paper for the intended technical and industrial separation depends on many different factors. Therefore a closer look into the aims and objectives of the filtration process should be completed before a filtration medium is selected. The following questions will help to find the best filter paper:

The use of a special filter paper in certain filtration equipment usually requires a specific paper shape. Paper rolls with various width and lengths, filter circles with centre hole, large sheets with exactly positioned holes for the right fitting into a filter press and specific shapes with a flute or with pleats.
All these conversions can be done with our own specific equipment. Please contact us!
