The Challenge
PVC pipe production can generate fine polymer dust during material handling, cutting and finishing. The movement of dry particles through the dust collection system can contribute to electrostatic charge accumulation on the filter media.
The customer required a pleatable filter material that could support dust collection while helping dissipate accumulated electrostatic charges. In applications where combustible dust may be present, static control is an important part of the overall dust safety assessment.
The Solution
After reviewing the application requirement, FARRLEEY Filtration recommended copper-ion blended antistatic pleatable needle-punched felt.
The conductive component is blended into the felt structure to provide antistatic performance throughout the media. The material can also be pleated for use in industrial dust filter elements.
Selected Media
- Pleatable needle-punched felt construction
- Copper-ion blended antistatic component
- Basis weight: 330 g/m²
- Electrical resistance: 10⁴ Ω
- Product form: roll media for pleating
Antistatic performance also depends on correct filter installation and effective grounding within the dust collection system.
The Result
The customer adopted the recommended copper-ion blended antistatic filter media for the PVC pipe production application.
The material has continued to operate well to date under the customer's actual working conditions.
The application shows that antistatic performance should be considered together with pleatability and operating conditions when selecting filter media for fine polymer dust.
