Technical mesh for the chemical industry
Efficient filtration, fluidization, and thermal solutions ensure product quality, process stability, and cost-effectiveness. GKD offers custom-made metal and hybrid mesh fabrics for demanding applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
The chemical industry requires solutions for a wide variety of processes – from filtration and separation to drying, cooling, and conditioning. GKD supplies metal and hybrid mesh constructions as well as process belts that are individually tailored to your requirements. They increase process reliability, optimize productivity, and enable sustainable production. Additional services, such as the repair of filter elements and the installation of process belts, are also available.
Sustainability in the Chemical Industry
GKD’s durable, microplastic-free filter and process solutions reduce energy consumption, extend service life, and are fully recyclable. With CIP-compatible designs and retrofit options, we make a measurable contribution to resource-efficient processes in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
Solid-Liquid Filtration
Filtration is a key process in the chemical industry. GKD’s metallic filter fabrics and multi-layer laminates ensure the removal of the finest particles, protect pumps and heat exchangers, and enable stable process control. These solutions are CIP-compatible, backwashable, and designed for high pressures and temperatures.
Fluidization
Uniform gas distribution is the foundation of stable fluidization processes. Discharge floors, aeration systems, and conveyor chutes made of metal mesh prevent bridging, ensure homogeneous flow, and reduce energy consumption. Custom-designed solutions are resistant to high temperatures and chemicals and are easy to clean.
Polymer filtration
The purity of the polymer melt determines the quality of plastics and fibers. GKD supplies filter discs, filter cylinders, and Spinpack screens for extrusion, compounding, and fiber production. These solutions reliably remove gel particles, protect nozzles, and ensure long service life.
Process and Exhaust Gas Filtration
Hot gas and exhaust gas streams contain corrosive components and fine dust. GKD filter media combine resistance to high temperatures and chemicals with precise separation efficiency. They ensure emission control, protect plant components, and can be regenerated for a long service life.
Structured Packs
Efficient separation processes such as distillation and purification require packing with a large mass transfer surface area and low pressure drop. Structured wire mesh packing from GKD optimizes energy consumption, separation efficiency, and column design—even for vacuum processes and corrosive media.
Process Engineering for Solids
Conditioning, cooling, and screening are critical to the quality of powders and granules. GKD supplies process belts and screen mesh for consistent results, minimal downtime, and hygienic design – including solutions that meet ATEX and GMP requirements.
