Performance Felt

Circron filter sleeves are long life, high dirt holding capacity filters capable of removing particles down to one micron in diameter, while maintaining low pressure drops throughout their operating life.

Most Circron filter sleeves can be folded flat and thereby offer storage and transport savings over rigid elements such as glass.

Circron filter sleeves give improved filtration performance or extended service in the following applications:

  • Gaskets: Seals and Gaskets
  • Gas: High pressure gas filter elements removing scale and debris prior to orifice plates, pressure regulators and valves
  • Freshwater: Long life filter elements removing algae from reservoir water supplies, retarding blinding and high Dp as experienced with sand filters.

Circron Rings for Filter Sleeves

Circron rings are manufactured by a unique process which produces a seamless circular needlefelt of specified density. Circron rings are cut to the required width and may be grooved.

Circron Rings are manufactured from high tenacity, long staple fibers to give maximum resilience and compression recovery giving excellent sealing properties.
