YMAX^® is a new product line from GKD.

These products can vary in their construction depending on the customers requirements.

All YMAX^® filter media are constructed according to the same principle, which is a Composite Structure. This provides efficient filtration performance; in the range of 3 µm up to 100 µm.
So this unique precisely woven filter media can reach dirt holding capacities similar to a high performance fibre-felt, while its pore structure is absolutely homogeneous.
This precision allows the filtration process to be scientifically calculable and manageable.
Optimised flow-rate properties, combined with low cut-points and high structural stability, defines a filter media that is unique for fine particle removal while operating at high process pressures (8-10 bar).

An additional characteristic of YMAX^®, with it's robust fibre-wire-composite structure, is that it can be formed and tailored for application in many filter systems.
Besides cylindrical and conical designs or plate type filters, pleating is also possible. For further stabilisation via sintering further enhances performance.

Available in widths up to 3.5 meters and lengths up to 20 meters YMAX^® has the unique ability to be used in backflushing filtration processes.
Such mechanical strength has been previously unheard of in filter media with such low cut-point and high dirt holding characterisitics.

GKD's YMAX^® is highly versatile finding wide application in many industrial filtration applications; mineral oil, vegetable oil, fine chemical, solvent and aqueous processes are all possible.
