Fiberlox™ is Lydall Industrial Filtration's name for its innovative range of needlefelts produced without the use of a reinforcing scrim. Our proprietary processes have been developed and refined over several years to enable the manufacture of needlefelts solely from fibers. Such has been the success of this technology that well over 20,000,000m² of this material has been supplied to the filtration industry worldwide. There are no known failures attributable to the absence of the scrim.
Fibrelox™ needlefelts are available in the following fibers
- Polypropylene
- Polyester
- PPS
- Aramid
- Polyimide
They typically exhibit slight changes in properties when compared with scrim supported felts.
Andrew Webron Limited have successfully manufactured and promoted Fiberlox™ needlefelts for 30 years, encompassing a wide range of filter applications.
The primary advantages with Fiberlox™ needle felts are in the composition of the product and its cost efficient manufacture. As there is no woven support scrim, cut widths can be readily slit for any bag diameter with minimal waste costs.
In the actual bag house, Andrew Webron Limited now promote Fiberlox™ in pulse jet applications, up to 8.0 meter bag lengths, and in a wide range of fiber types.
Fiberlox™ needle felts use 100% pure filtration fiber, contributing to surface filtration, therefore by maintaining the dust on the surface of the needle felt in a pulse jet bag house system, less mechanical stress is required to keep the filter bag clean, resulting in lower emissions and longer bag life which is the ultimate goal in any dust extraction application.
Further, the absence of a woven scrim, actually reduces the tendency to blinding as the very fine dust, which inevitably penetrates into all felts, does not become lodged in the scrim so potentially extending the bag life.
Andrew Webron Limited have invested heavily to ensure the correct equipment and techniques are used to manufacture Fiberlox™ products correctly and efficiently, in order to maintain tensile strengths and elongation properties which are the essential criteria of any fabric operating in the dust extraction industry.
