Tubes, Cut to Length

Product form
Tubes, cut to length, are segments cut of from woven, ultrasonically welded or heat-slit tubes. Laser cutting provides heat-sealed, non-fraying edges. Diameters range from 2 to 80 mm, lengths range from 10 to 500 mm.
Cold cutting provides non-sealed edges that may fray. Diameters range from 80 mm to
125 mm, lengths range from 10 to 1000 mm.

Make-up
Tube segments can be made either by cold or laser cut. The choice is determined by the required edge quality.
 
   
Tubes, Heat-Slit

Product form

Fabrics, single and multilayer, can be heat-slit into tube configurations. Tubes are made by slitting two layers of fabric together with a heated knife, creating two flat seams at either side of the tube. Heat-slit fabric edges are melted or fused together to increase durability and decrease fraying. The heat-slit seam has a limited strength and should be used as a transport seam only, e.g. for injection molding.
All fabrics with thread diameters < 250 µm and mesh openings < 500 µm can be heat slit . Heat-slit tubes are defined by the inner diameter which is tested with a mandrel: tube diameters range from 8 - 320 mm .
 
The inner diameter of the heat-slit tube does not equal the flat width of the the tube itself. The effect of welded "wings" on either side has to be taken into consideration; the width depends on the mesh type.

Make-up
Tubes are wound onto standard cores:
polyester discs have an inner square hole
30 x 30 mm and an outer diameter of 61 mm. Upon request tubes can also be rolled onto special cores: An ABS ring having an inner diameter of 76 mm (3"). Depending on fabric type and tube dimensions, roll length of up to 500 m are possible.
 
   
Tubes, Us-Welded

Product form

Fabrics, single and multilayer, can be ultrasonically welded into tube configurations. Tubes are made with one overlapping ultrasonic weld. Welds are accurate, clean and are made without the introduction of secondary material to the weld.
All fabrics with thread diameters < 250 µm and mesh openings < 500 µm can be ultrasonically welded, tube diameters range from 2 - 250 mm.

Make-up
Tubes are wound onto standard cores:
Polyester discs have an inner square hole
30 x 30 mm and an outer diameter of 61 mm.
Depending on fabric type and tube dimensions, roll length of up to 700 m are possible.
 
   
Tubes, Bags

Product form

Flat bags can be made of one or several fabric layers, for example to achieve a combination of filter and support layer.
Bags are determined by flat width or diameter and height in mm. Max. diameter is 160 mm, max. flat width is 250 mm, max. height is
420 mm.

Make-up
Bags are made from ultrasonically welded tubes. The bottom seam of the bag is produced after tubing by ultrasonic welding. The flat bag is then cut into length by either cold- or laser-cut to length.
 
   
Ribbons

Product form
Fabrics, single or multilayer, can be heat- or ultrasonically-slit into ribbon form.
Heat-slitting produces a melted, closed edge and is possible for all fabrics with the exception of PTFE fabrics. Ribbon width ranges from
7 mm to 2400 mm.
Ultrasonic-slitting produces a closed edge with very little material build-up at the edge.
Ribbon widths ranges from 4 mm to 700 mm.
 
Make-up
For widths up to 300 mm, ribbons are wound onto polyester discs with an inner square hole
30 x 30 mm and an outer diameter of 61 mm. Upon request ribbons can also be rolled onto ABS rings with an inner diameter of 76 mm (3"). Ribbons which are wider than 300 mm are wound onto polystyrene tubes with an inner diameter of 76 mm (3"). Depending on fabric type and tube dimensions, roll lengths of up to 700 m are possible.
 
   
Shapes, Stamped Pieces

Product form

Stamped pieces are conveniant for insert molding and are made from Sefar fabrics by a cold, laser or ultrasonic stamping process.
Cold stamping is the most economical process and provides standard-tolerance pieces with edges that are not sealed and therefore might fray. Cold stamping is possible for all fabrics. Piece dimensions range up to 1000 x 1000 mm.

Laser stamping provides a heat-sealed edge. Maximum dimensions are 480 x 480 mm.
Ultrasonic stamping ensures tight tolerances, for fabrics with mesh openings < 400 microns. Ultrasonic-stamping provides high-quality sealed edges which do not fray. Stamped discs with a diameter range of 6 to 95 mm are possible. Multilayer pieces are possible.
 
   
Pleated Elements

Product form

Pleated elements are ribbons which have been pleated together, and then cut to a defined number of pleats. The individual fabric layers are simultaneously cut and welded together on their longitudinal side during the ultrasonic slitting. The cutting to a defined number of pleats is done by ultrasonic slitting.

Depending on the selected fabrics, up to
5 layers can be pleated together. Pleat width ranges from 25 to 1200 mm; pleat height ranges from 6mm (one layer) or 8 mm (multilayer) to
50 mm; pleat counts are unlimited.
The position of the individual fabric layers, the specification of the filter side and also the number of pleats are all very important and therefore have to be defined precisely.
 
   
Continuous Pleated Elements

Product form

Continuous pleated elements are ribbons which have been pleated together and then cut off after a defined number of pleats. These pleated elements are then ultrasonically welded together to form a cylinder. The individual fabric layers are simultaneously cut and welded together on their longitudinal side during the ultrasonic slitting. The cutting to a defined number of pleats is done by ultrasonic cutting.

Depending on the selected fabrics, up to
5 layers can be pleated together. Pleat width ranges from 25 to 380 mm; pleat height ranges from 8 to 25 mm; up to 100 pleat counts are possible.
The position of the individual fabric layers,
the specification of the filter side and also the number of pleats are all very important and therefore have to be defined precisely
 
   
Semi-finished Components

Product form

Adhesive filter components are made by combining fabrics with one or several adhesive layers or alternatively with a dispenser tape.
The fabric pieces are cold- or laser-stamped into single rings, double rings or customer-specific shapes. Laser-stamped parts can be supplied having max. dimensions of 480 x 480 mm. Cold stamped parts can be supplied having max. dimensions of 120 x 120 mm.

Adhesive filter components can be supplied with a one-sided or a double-sided adhesive layer. These fabrics parts have the advantage that they can be joined quickly and efficiently to any housing or other component.
 

Adhesive filter components can also be supplied on a dispenser tape without any adhesive backing. These products have the advantage that they can be transported and handled easily in automated assembly systems.

Make-up
Adhesive filter components, either having adhesive layers or on a dispenser tape, are supplied on a backing tape and are wound onto cores having a diameter of 6 inches (152.4 mm).
