Filter Fabrics And Plastic Molded Filters For Healthcare, Life Science And Medical Application

SHARE offers a comprehensive selection of synthetic filter mesh and filters, available in custom or standard formats to suit your applications and specifications in various medical fields.

SHARE's capabilities to create the final product for medical applications involves more than just having precision fabric on the roller. We have many necessary finish process steps for medical fabrics including cleaning, heat treating, calendering, dyeing and coating.

We process our fabrics to become "application-ready" by cutting, stitching, gluing, welding, laser cutting, molding and more, all are tailored to meet medical specifications. We create a wide selection of forms for medical application from fabric ribbons and stamping pieces to cylindrical filters and precision plastic molded filter with smooth surface and high flow rate.

All these processing steps for medical parts are manufactured under strict cleanliness control standards and are processed in our clean room.

At SHARE, we produce filter materials characterized by precise mesh openings, open area and mesh thickness by ourselves. The most commonly filter material are the following:

Polyamide mesh (Nylon): Resistance to acids is limited and dependent on the concentration and temperature. Excellent resistance to alkalis, including caustic soda and caustic potash. Chemical performance against organic solvents is very good. Temperature resistant from 0 to 115 °C when dry, 95 to 100 °C in water.
Polyester mesh: Resistant to most acids. Not resistant to alkalis. Temperature resistant from -75 to +150 °C (for short periods), up to 135 °C for longer requirements.
PP mesh: Humidity resolution at 95% rel. air moisture and 25 °C is less than 0,01%. Resistant to alkalis, even in high concentrations. Use with organic solvents is limited. Temperature resistant from 0 to +100 °C (for short periods), up to 90 °C for longer requirements.

SHARE Converting Capabilities

Customers have different requirements for filtration, separation and sifting, and relying only on single fabrication technology is not sufficient to meet the challenges of today's demanding filtration market.

With 40 years of expertise and experience from precision filter mesh materials to filter components, SHARE has the capability to tailor our precision filter mesh to your exact application through our outstanding manufacturing capabilities and automated fabrication processes, including cutting, calendering, stitching, gluing, welding, slitting, sewing, pleating, molding and more.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting produces highly precise fabric parts with a heat-sealed edge. Share uses different laser cutting systems to meet customers various requirements including semi-automated vision systems and fully automated with AI programming.

Heat Slitting

Heated knives are used to create fabric strips/ribbons for much many applications such as injection molding, and hot-cut mesh edges are melted to enhance durability. Optical measuring systems measure ribbon width with tight tolerances.

Ultrasonic Slitting

Ultrasonic slitting are often used to produce fabric strips with closed edge, minimal material build-up. Ultrasonic cutting is ideal for precise and clean edge quality, and measurements are conducted using optical systems too.

Ultrasonic Stamping

Often used for highly precise fabric parts.

Ultrasonic stamping ensures tight geometric tolerances. The edges are non-fraying. One tool is used for punching and can be used for larger quantities. Optical measuring systems measure dimensions and tolerances.

Tubes and Tube Cuts

Different processes are used for tube production.

Ultrasonically welded overlap seams are used for functional seams, while hot cutting technology economically produces transport seams.

Ultrasonic Welding

Ultrasonic welding has accurate, clean welds without introducing secondary materials. SHARE produces precision cylinder filters by ultrasonic welded tubes.

Pleating

We increase the filter surface through pleating. Fabrics are firstly welded then pleated together, and cut to size of pleats.

Injection Molding
Share molded filters provide high flow rates and low pressure drops by maximal open area.
SHARE convert our fabrics to various plastic molded filters by technologies of plastic insert molding and overmolding.

We have created thousands of filtration solutions to help customers achieve the best filtration configuration and solution for various applications, including appliance, electronics, medical and healthcare, automotive, food and beverage, mining, architecture, aerospace etc.

Please feel free to contact us for any filtration inquiry, and our application specialists will be glad to provide our best filtration solution for you.
