Thanks to our modular design, we are able to manufacture the most complex products in the field of filtration automatically. To do this, we combine individual functions into an overall solution.
GFM's Custom Spiral Wound Element Machine
Tailored Machinery Solutions for a Spiral Wound Element
In the advanced world of membrane technology, there's a growing interest in specialized membranes tailored to specific applications. GFM Converting Solutions provides these through our Spiral wound element machine, producing spiral wound elements for diverse filtration types, from reverse osmosis to micro-, ultra-, and nanofiltration.
Understanding Membrane Filtration Process and its Types
Membrane filtration essentially lets certain substances pass through a barrier while blocking others. For water, this means clean water passes through the barrier, removing impurities or harmful microorganisms. Among various water treatment methods, membrane filtration stands out as a notably efficient and economic method.
Micro- and Ultrafiltration
In microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) processes, contaminated liquids are filtered by retaining particles larger than the membrane's pore size. The purity level of the resulting flow depends on initial impurities and the membrane's pore size.
Reverse Osmosis and Nanofiltration
Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) processes resemble MF and UF but involve pressure being applied to the liquid to pass it through the semi-permeable membrane. They can also filter out smaller molecules, like pesticides or agricultural chemicals.
Benefits of GFM's Spiral Wound Element Machine
Our Spiral wound element machine has a clear advantage over other filtration machines: exceptionally high packing density with reduced energy consumption. The design is based on multiple membrane pockets with spacers in between, wrapped around the central permeate tube. Thanks to its precise construction, the permeate emerges only on the side of the permeate tube, with the appropriate spacer chosen based on the medium's viscosity.
