FAQ

What are SINBRAN® Filter Modules?2024-10-25T15:33:51+02:00

Our SINBRAN® filter modules are made of sintered polyethylene (PE), optionally antistatic, and ePTFE membranes and are used for a wide range of industrial applications. SINBRAN® filter modules meet the highest requirements and filter particles down to a size of 0.1 µm. We build filters for installation on the clean gas side as well as on the raw gas side.

What are the applications for SINBRAN® filters?2024-10-25T15:33:31+02:00

SINBRAN® filter modules are ideal for applications in air filtration, chemical process filtration, food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as medical and pharmaceutical fields. In modern battery production, SINBRAN® is valued worldwide for meeting the requirements of current and future environmental legislation.

Why does SINBRAN® laminate ePTFE membranes on sintered PE?2024-10-25T15:32:51+02:00

Sintered PE offers excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance, while ePTFE membranes provide outstanding filtration performance that far exceeds that of conventional filters. That’s why we combine the best of both worlds to create one of the best filters available for air, process, and gas filtration.

What is the lifetime of SINBRAN® filters?2024-10-26T13:49:52+02:00

Service life is highly dependent on the application and operating conditions. In many cases, our filters can be used for several years, sometimes up to 15 years, before they need to be replaced.

Are SINBRAN® filter modules reusable?2024-10-26T14:36:33+02:00

Yes, our filter modules can be cleaned, washed with water and reused. However, the cleaning process should be adapted to the application and the filter material. We will be happy to provide you with the appropriate cleaning instructions, which can also be downloaded from our website.

What are the advantages of using SINBRAN® filters over conventional filters?2024-11-30T06:31:00+01:00

Our filter modules are equipped with highly developed ePTFE-membranes consisting of several layers. This multi-layer structure provides extremely fine filtration and ensures that even the smallest particles down to a size of 0.1 µm are effectively retained.

The structure of the membrane is similar to a dense beech hedge in winter: A ball thrown into the hedge will be safely trapped, as will the particles in our membrane.

Unlike conventional filters, the SINBRAN® membrane’s multiple layers provide a more reliable filtration result that remains constant even under demanding conditions.

Why does SINBRAN® use membrane filters?2024-11-27T08:44:38+01:00

SINBRAN® uses membrane filters to ensure an exceptionally high and unsurpassed filtration performance. Membrane filters offer the advantage that even the smallest particles can be reliably separated. Thanks to our innovative ePTFE membrane technology with a multi-layer structure, our filters are able to retain particles as small as 0.1 µm.

Membrane filtration does not excessively impair the air flow, which is crucial for energy-efficient processes. In addition, our membrane filters are characterized by a long service life and excellent resistance even in demanding industrial applications. The choice of membrane filters reflects our aim to provide high quality and reliable solutions for demanding filtration tasks.

By using this technology, we help our customers to reduce emissions, protect the environment, increase the efficiency of their processes and reduce costs.

How do the filters perform under process fluctuations?2026-05-21T09:49:02+02:00

Thanks to the robust sintered structure and the ePTFE membrane, SINBRAN® HT filter elements operate reliably and stably
even under fluctuating temperatures and process loads.

How do SINBRAN® HT filters differ from standard PE filters?2026-05-21T09:49:03+02:00

SINBRAN® HT filters are based on a specially stabilized high-performance PE with HT cores that reliably maintains its mechanical
properties even under thermal stress.

Are SINBRAN® HT filters suitable for the food and chemical industries?2026-05-21T09:49:03+02:00

Yes. SINBRAN® HT filter elements are developed for demanding industrial processes, including applications in the food,
milling, and chemical industries.

How does the larger filter area affect operation?2026-05-21T09:49:03+02:00

A larger filter area reduces the filter surface load (A/C ratio), resulting in lower differential pressure, more stable cleaning
cycles, and extended service life.

Are SINBRAN® XL filters available in an antistatic version?2026-05-21T09:49:04+02:00

Yes. SINBRAN® XL filter elements are available in an antistatic version and are suitable for corresponding applications.

Are SINBRAN® XL filter elements a replacement for cartridge filters?2026-05-21T09:49:04+02:00

Yes. In many applications, SINBRAN® XL elements can replace conventional cartridge filters – with considerably longer
service life, higher mechanical stability, and without pleated geometry.

What distinguishes SINBRAN® XL from standard filter elements?2026-05-21T09:49:05+02:00

SINBRAN® XL filter elements offer a significantly increased effective filtration area while maintaining the same installation
dimensions. This allows higher air flow rates or a sustainably reduced differential pressure.

Up to which temperature are SINBRAN® HT filters suitable?2026-05-21T09:49:05+02:00

SINBRAN® HT filter elements are designed for continuous operation up to approximately 130 °C, including recurring temperature
peaks.
