Filtration and Separation
BOPP manufactures a comprehensive and diverse range of medium, fine and ultra-fine filter meshes. These are produced using state of the art weaving machines, in clean and air conditioned halls, to the highest levels of quality and reproducibility. A growing number of sintered meshes are now available to meet the challenges of increasingly demanding applications. These consist of two or more layers of mesh, crafted into laminates using heat and pressure. Dependent upon requirements, both meshes and sintered products can be converted into dimensionally accurate components and semi-finished goods, with individual items carefully worked by hand and series production either partly or fully automated using special machinery designed expressly for this purpose.
