Activated carbon filter

MEYER » Anwendung » Activated carbon filter

The challenge in manufacturing activated carbon filters lies in combining multiple scatters and arranging them within the layout of the system. MEYER offers a wide variety of modular concepts to meet different filter configurations and requirements.

The flexible combination of scattering and laminating modules allows for the precise production of both thin activated carbon layers and complex multi-layer composites. Our machines ensure precise dosing, consistent basis weights, and gentle bonding of the individual layers. This results in high-quality filter media for applications such as vacuum cleaner filters, air filters, industrial exhaust systems, cabin air filters in the automotive sector, or combined odor and particle filters.

With a modular machine layout, customers can perfectly match their production line to material properties, desired layer structures, and required product quality— from simple layer configurations to complex functional materials.

Questions & Answers

How do MEYER scattering machines support the application of activated carbon layers?
Our scattering machines allow for the precise application of activated carbon granules or powder—both in specific spots and over large areas. Adjustable metering and distribution techniques enable the achievement of uniform surface weights, which are particularly critical for filters in vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, and industrial exhaust systems.
What advantages does laminating offer in the production of multi-layer filter media?
With our lamination systems, activated carbon layers can be securely bonded to carrier and cover nonwovens without causing thermal or mechanical damage to the filter material. This enables stable compounds for applications such as cabin air filters in the automotive sector, fine dust filters, kitchen extractor systems or combined odor and particle filters.
Who are the modular lines suitable for?
For manufacturers who require flexible production systems – e.g. in the filter industry, air purification, automotive industry or for industrial exhaust air applications.
