The improvement and development of infrastructure is reliant on the manufacture and supply of minerals in a wide range of forms. Equally, many industries consume large quantities of minerals in their own processes. From blasting and quarrying to calcination and hydration, from crushing and milling to asphalt coating of roadstone, the processing of mineral substances involves any number of applications, many of which generate airborne particulate matter often contained in aggressive gas conditions, both in respect of temperature and chemistry.

The processes seen across this industry are inherently varied - as with many aspects of industrial filtration, there is no single solution that can be applied in all cases.

Understanding the variability from one process to another is key to the successful appliance of appropriate filter media. No two applications are alike and Southern Felt is sufficiently experienced to fully appreciate the need to consider each application on its own merits. The minerals industry has made great strides in implementing improved control measures to reduce their emissions to atmosphere with particular emphasis being placed on dust releases. The advancement and development of textile filter media for use in minerals applications has been a focus for Southern Felt for many years.
