Filtration

thoenes® filtration solutions

The filtration solutions from thoenes® can be used in various filtration applications. Continuity, precision, reproducibility and suitability for series production characterize our knitted filters and silencers. We use high-performance, state-of-the-art multi-material knitting machines for production. We assemble your product in our robot-supported production cell using endless goods.

Our filtration solutions can be precisely adapted to your specific application requirements in our robot-assisted production cell. We can set the following parameters individually:

  • Width, 
  • mesh density, 
  • material composition, 
  • filament fineness of the starting material.

With us you will find fine knits, filters and silencers as well as metal knits. Fine knits are made in our knitting machine. We are able to produce very fine and delicate knitted fabrics from polyester, nylon, polyamides, polypropylene and other materials. The material used, its fineness and the set number of stitches play a crucial role in production in terms of flexibility, stretch, stiffness, resilience and porosity of the fine knit. Due to the many possible variations of materials, the use of mono- and multifilaments or their combination, our filtration solutions can serve a wide range of applications. Our fine knits can be used, for example, in swimming pool skimmers, aquariums or coarse-meshed hose nets. The filters and silencers from thoenes® can be used in the automotive, process and energy industries. Uses in filtration applications (e.g. material separation in chemical processes) or as a noise damper for a defined reduction in the noise level with a defined setting of the flow rate and time are conceivable. We produce metal meshes as pressed pieces or as knitted fabrics in a wide range of dimensions. Various basic materials can be used – depending on the type of use and customer requirements. The knitted fabric can be used variably thanks to its stretchability and resilience. Materials such as chrome wire, brass, glass fibers, high-temperature yarns or other materials as well as wire thicknesses of 0.1 - 0.2 mm are suitable for knitting ribbons and tubes.

areas of application:

Swimmingpool-Skimmer
aquatics
hose net
noise damper

Fine knits

Fine knitted fabrics can be produced and marketed as continuous rolls or finished goods in various dimensions. During production, the material used, its fineness and the set gauge play a decisive role in determining the flexibility, stretch, stiffness, strength and porosity of the fabric, as specific properties are required depending on the intended application. Thanks to the wide range of material options, the use of mono- and multifilaments or combinations thereof, and the adjustment options on the knitting machine, a broad spectrum of applications can be catered for. Fine knitted fabrics can be used, for example, as filter bags, as filter hoses for drainage pipes, or as filter socks for swimming pool skimmers. Applications in aquatics or coarse-mesh tube nets are also conceivable.

Filters and silencers

Continuity, precision, reproducibility and suitability for mass production are the hallmarks of thoenes® knitted filters and silencers. We use high-performance, state-of-the-art multi-material knitting machines for production. In addition to continuous fabric, we assemble your product in our robot-assisted production cell.

Adjustment of the following parameters:

  • Width
  • Gauge
  • Material composition
  • Filament fineness of the raw material Use in filtration applications (e.g. particle separation in chemical processes)

Use as a silencer to reduce the noise level by a specified amount at a defined flow rate and duration

Fields of application:

  • Automotive
  • Process industry
  • Energy

Metal mesh

thoenes® metal knitted fabrics can be manufactured as moulded parts or as knitted fabrics in a wide variety of dimensions. A wide range of base materials can be used in production, depending on the type of application and in close consultation with the customer to meet their specific requirements. Depending on the number of stitches, the knitted fabric is highly versatile and offers varying degrees of elasticity and load-bearing capacity, enabling a broad spectrum of applications. We can manufacture our wire mesh as flat strips or as tubular mesh. Depending on the mesh count, various widths from 20 to 100 mm are possible. These new wire meshes can be produced and marketed as continuous or finished products. Whether chrome wire, brass or other materials, wire thicknesses of 0.1–0.2 mm are suitable for production. Please feel free to enquire about other sizes. Depending on the material and size, the knitted fabric is highly variable and has different levels of elasticity and tensile strength, enabling a wide range of applications. We also knit tapes and tubes using glass fibres and high-temperature yarns.
