ENGINE AIR INTAKE FILTER MEDIA & SLEEVES

DISCOVER OUR SOLUTIONS FOR ENGINE AIR FILTRATION

Depending on the vehicle type and driving conditions, an engine can require up to 500m³ of air per hour. This air, depending on the location of the vehicle, is loaded with differing quantities of dirt and dust particles. Air-intake filter systems, for example air measurement and regulation devices, ensure that combustion takes place with minimum presence of damaging particles, ensuring lowest possible fuel consumption.

Ever-reducing space under the hood and the ever-increasing volumes of air needed by engines today mean that highly specialized filter media with high dust holding capacity are required; requirements which we can achieve with gradient-structured, synthetic or multi-layered media.

Engine Air Filter Media

At GESSNER, we offer a broad range of engine air filter media designed to meet the rigorous demands of markets around the world. Our technology provides media that can withstand the toughest environments. Our paper-meltblown combinations are engineered for high-end applications. Our self-designed resin systems provide high stiffness in both dry and wet conditions. Our media are resistant against water and temperature, so the media can be quickly dried to avoid filter collapsing. Plus, our system prevents low dusting during further processing.

At GESSNER, we strive to provide solutions that are better for the environment. We have earned the FSC^®certification which is available for our paper-made products. Our curing and no-curing resins are perfect for environmentally conscious businesses.
Additionally, our engine air filter media is available with a lignin-based impregnation, making it a perfect solution to reduce your product carbon footprint.

With GESSNER, you can rest assured that you are receiving a high-quality product. We guarantee a reliable, long-lasting product that meets the highest standards of quality. Our goal is to provide our customers with a superior product.

Especially when it comes to flame retardancy, GESSNER offers outstanding features. Our filter media solutions for engine air are available as fast curing and non curing solutions and fulfill the water resistant test TL848 with both cure and non-cure resins and are obligatory in Europe for OEM/OES, based on the test method DIN 53438.
Our flame retardant paper provides the perfect balance of performance and safety, with no heavy metals or halogenated compounds and without any chemical compounds, which are classified according to the VDA-list. Our media have a good wet stiffness and evaporation performance.

Synthetic Netting Sleeves for Engine Air Filters

Naltex™ diamond netting sleeves are essentual components in filtration systems, widely used across various industries. These sleeves provide critical support and protection for filter elements asa n outerwrap, enhancing overall performance and durability.

Made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) our Naltex™ sleeves are ideal for cross-flow applications, offering consistent flow characteristics and aiding in membrane surface cleaing. These netting and mesh sleeves play a significant role in protecting delicate filtration media and cartridges from damage during handling and operation.

The diamond netting sleeve used as an outerwrap on the filter element maintains the structural integrity of the media and prevents the filter media from collapsing, thereby extending the lifetime of the filter element. Through their protective and supportive roles, Naltex™ sleeves ensure optimal performanc and durability of filtration systems not only in engine air filtration but across various applications.

Why our synthetic netting sleeves are an ideal alternative for metal mesh outerwraps.

The flexibilty of our Naltex™ sleeves allow the netting to seamlessly conform to various shapes and sizes of filter elements.
Its flexible structure makes it easy in handling while being lightweight and more cost effective than metal mesh outerwraps.
Our netting sleeves exhibit high temperature resistence, making it well-suited for both high- and low-temperature applications.
Renowned for their strong chemical resistence, our LPDE/ HDPE netting sleeves guarantee longevity and reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
