How do I find the right type of non-woven filter media?
The options for filter fleece are vast: Your requirements and a comprehensive product range with fleece components like material, manufacturing type, and weight per unit area must align. The selection process is always caught in a conflict between:
Fine Filtration vs. Economic Consumption
The finer the filtration, the slower the flow of process liquid. The liquid level in the filter quickly rises, triggering the feed.
Fine Filtration – high fleece consumption.
Conversely: a coarse fleece might offer poor filtration but provides good flow with minimal fleece consumption.
Coarse Filtration – lower fleece consumption.
It’s a balance between desired filtration precision and fleece material usage.

Here is a brief overview of the filter media qualities provided by Filtecci:
- Viscose (FV): Natural fiber, absorbs water, causing the fabric to swell and become tighter, enhancing filtration, but it has poor mechanical properties and tears easily.
- Polypropylene (FPP): Inexpensive medium, commonly used, suitable for coarse machining (turning, milling) on flatbed filters.
- Needle non-woven material (FNF): Thick medium, polyester fiber, excellent filtration even for oil and fine machining like grinding; suitable for casting in combination with a vacuum filter.
- Polyester spunbond medium (FP): Coarse medium, high permeability, resulting in less fine filtration. However, this medium is mechanically robust with high tear resistance.
- Polyester hydroentangled medium (FPjet): Polyester medium for fine filtration, suitable for oil and fine machining like grinding; suitable for casting when used with a vacuum filter.
- Polyester multilayer medium (FFus): Polyester multilayer medium for fine filtration, similar to hydroentangled fleece in application but more cost-effective.
The medium designation looks like this, for instance, FPP 40 500×100: Material (FPP), weight (g/m²), width (mm), length (m). When considering length, consider the outer diameter: will the roll fit your filter system?
