Polymer filter media are found in leaf disc, candle and spin pack filters, and stainless steel filter media panels. They're used in filters for continuous and batch polymerization plants. Products that come out of the plastic industry include synthetic fibers, film, non-wovens, and chips. Applications include polyamide, viscose, polyesters, polyaramids, PP, PE, PC, and many other polymers.
Our complete portfolio offers all filter types in the polymer filtration industry, with fiber diameters ranging from 1.5µm to 100µm. Bekipor® ST is the most reliable stainless steel sintered fiber filtration media available. The multiple different compositions available guarantee you the best media fit for your application.
Its high porosity gives you the longest on-stream life as well as the best results in terms of product quality and cleanability of your filter elements. Its robustness allows the Bekipor® ST media to be used in different shapes, pleated or not, without affecting the filtration characteristics.
Contaminants are captured throughout the porous media, with coarse particles near the surface and finer ones deeper within. This layered retention minimizes clogging and extends service life. The filter also supports offline cleaning, enabling reuse and reducing downtime.
Want to see the true cost impact of your filtration choices? Our TCO calculator reveals the savings and reliability gains achievable with high-performance metal fiber media, like Bekipor®. From marine to aerospace, filtration decisions matter - find your savings today.
Yes. Our metal fiber filter media is not only efficient, but also cleanable and built to last. This allows for extended operation, reduces the frequency of filter changeovers, and minimizes material waste. Making our media a cost-effective, sustainable solution for polymer processing environments.
Our media effectively removes gels, agglomerates, and solid contaminants from the polymer melt – key factors that can cause fiber breaks and defects during spinning. By ensuring a cleaner melt, our filters help produce stronger, more uniform yarns, reduce production interruptions, and enhance the overall quality of POY and PET fibers.
Our metal fiber filter media provides long service life, cleanability, and improved system protection. And because our filters reduce replacement frequency and maintenance overhead, you pass long-term savings onto your customers.
High dirt-holding capacity, thermal stability, and consistent flow rates make our media ideal for handling viscous polymer melts. It keeps systems clean and extrusion lines running efficiently.
