Surface Technology
Filtration plays a central role in surface technology: it reliably separates chips, dust, and contaminants from air and media, thus creating the foundation for safe, clean, and economical production processes. Whether for dust extraction in machining centers, coating and blasting systems, or the filtration of cooling lubricants, high-performance filter systems protect people, machines, and products alike.
The targeted use of modern filtration reduces machine wear, extends the service life of tools and filter elements, and ensures consistently high surface quality. At the same time, maintenance, downtime, and operating costs are reduced. Clean media and pure process air increase process stability, improve working conditions, and ensure reproducible results—even under high dust loads and demanding applications.
The result: increased productivity, reduced resource consumption, and sustainable quality assurance along the entire process chain.

Industry applications
Filtration for safe processes in surface technology
Chip and fine dust separation
In surface finishing, the machining of gray cast iron, free-cutting steels, and brass inevitably produces short chips and high levels of fine dust. Without reliable filtration, these emissions lead to increased machine stress, accelerated wear, and a compromised working environment. High-performance filter elements play a crucial role here: They ensure clean process air, stable production conditions, and consistently high surface quality.
Dust collection systems from Filtration Group effectively separate coarse chips right at the inlet. This significantly reduces dust exposure in machines and the surrounding environment, and sustainably relieves the strain on the filter elements. A flow-optimized design guarantees maximum service life and consistently high separation efficiency – even in demanding applications with high dust loads.
Dust filter elements from Filtration Group offer maximum filter surface area in the smallest possible installation space. This is made possible by the innovative pleat spacing using Pleat-Lock or cam technology, which prevents the pleats from sticking together and ensures effective use of the entire filter. In combination with coordinated cleaning systems, reliable and gentle cleaning is ensured even at high differential pressures.
The result: reduced maintenance intervals, lower operating costs, longer filter lifespans, and consistently safe and clean production in surface finishing.

Filtration in powder coating and finishing systems
Dust collection systems from Filtration Group are used worldwide in surface finishing, powder coating, and blasting systems, reliably proving their worth in demanding applications. Whether flame spraying, grinding, polishing, or wet paint overspray extraction in large paint lines, Filtration Group filter systems efficiently remove even high dust loads, ensuring clean process air and a healthy working environment.
At the heart of these systems are high-performance filter media made of cellulose, polyester, or polypropylene, equipped with special finishes. This combination guarantees high filter efficiency and maximum service life, even under extreme conditions. The dust collection units thus ensure continuous dust separation, reduce cleaning efforts, and make a significant contribution to process stability and product quality.

Cooling lubricant filtration
In the metalworking industry, cutting emulsions, grinding oils, and cooling lubricants play a central role in ensuring smooth and efficient production processes. The careful filtration of these media minimizes wear on expensive precision machinery, protects sensitive components, and significantly contributes to the surface quality of manufactured products.
Filtration Group's customized filter systems and modular filter solutions offer the right technology for every application: Robust strainers reliably remove coarse contaminants, thus protecting subsequent process stages. Automatic backflushing filters ensure the highest standards of purity and efficiency, filtering even the finest particles from cooling lubricants – ideal for machining processes with internal coolant supply.
These systems not only guarantee consistently high media quality but also extend the service life of tools and machines. This leads to less downtime, reduced maintenance costs, and a noticeable increase in production output. In this way, metalworking companies are supported in sustainably maintaining their high product and production standards and achieving economic success.
