Anti-Static Needle Felt Filter Media with PTFE Membrane & Conductive Fibers

Product Introduction
The Farrtex® MC-0011 is a high-performance anti-static needle felt engineered for critical filtration applications where electrostatic discharge control is essential. Designed with a composite structure of polyester fibers and integrated stainless steel wires, this anti-static needle felt features a laminated PTFE membrane to deliver superior filtration efficiency and operational safety. It is specifically tailored for industries handling combustible dusts, fine powders, or explosive particulates, providing reliable performance in bag filters, cartridge systems, and industrial dust collectors.

Features & Characteristics

Permanent Anti-Static Design: Conductive stainless steel wires embedded within the anti-static needle felt ensure consistent static dissipation (≤10⁶ Ω) to mitigate ignition risks.

PTFE Membrane Enhancement: A durable PTFE membrane laminated onto the felt surface enables true surface filtration, promoting easy cake release and stable airflow.

High Efficiency Ratings: Achieves F9 (EN 779) and E10 to H13 (EN 1822) classifications, effectively capturing sub-micron particles.

Robust Construction: Reinforced with high tensile strength (≥650 N/5cm in all directions) and thermal resistance up to 130°C for demanding environments.

Optimized Airflow: Balanced air permeability (50 mm/s) ensures low pressure drop and energy-efficient system operation.

Key Advantages

Enhanced Safety: The anti-static needle felt’s conductive network permanently prevents static accumulation, aligning with ATEX directives for explosive atmospheres.

Extended Filter Life: The PTFE membrane reduces depth loading, allowing thorough pulse-jet cleaning and prolonged service intervals.

Energy Savings: Low and stable pressure drop minimizes fan energy consumption over time.

Versatile Application: Suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, powder coating, and metal processing industries where efficiency and safety are paramount.

FAQ
Q1: Why choose an anti-static needle felt over standard filter media?
A: In environments with combustible dusts or powders, static electricity can spark explosions. Our anti-static needle felt incorporates conductive fibers to safely dissipate charges, ensuring compliance with safety regulations like ATEX.

Q2: How does the PTFE membrane improve filtration?
A: The membrane creates a smooth surface that traps particles externally, preventing deep clogging. This allows for effective pulse-jet cleaning, maintains airflow, and extends the life of the anti-static needle felt.

Q3: What industries benefit most from this media?
A: It is ideal for chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, powder coating recovery, and metal powder handling—any setting requiring both high efficiency and electrostatic safety.

Q4: Can this media withstand high temperatures?
A: Yes, with a maximum operating temperature of 130°C, the anti-static needle felt is suitable for hot processes like drying, calcination, or thermal spray operations.

Q5: Is the anti-static property permanent?
A: Absolutely. The conductive stainless steel wires are integrated during manufacturing, providing lifelong static control without degradation from cleaning or wear.
