Textile (Fiber & Filament)
FLUX large area candle and leaf disk polymer filters are engineered for fiber spinning environments, where ultra fine melt filtration and pressure stability at the spin beam are critical. Installed upstream of the spin pack, the FLUX system removes sub micron gels and agglomerates that lead to spinneret blockage and premature spin pack failures.
Discover how FLUX supports Fiber & Filament production
In staple fiber and filament spinning, even a single unfiltered particle can trigger filament breakage, causing line interruptions and noticeable yield loss. As line speeds and titer requirements increase, these events become more costly, showing up as broken ends and downgraded bobbins.
FLUX large‑area candle and leaf‑disk polymer filters are engineered for these fiber spinning environments, where ultra‑fine melt filtration and pressure stability at the spin beam are critical. Installed upstream of the spin pack, the FLUX system removes sub‑micron gels and agglomerates that lead to spinneret blockage and premature spin‑pack failures. This delivers a cleaner, more homogeneous melt to each capillary, supporting stable, continuous, and high‑speed spinning with fewer breaks.
Compared with conventional screen‑pack concepts, the FLUX large‑area design provides a wider effective filtration surface, enabling 1–20 µm absolute filtration with minimal pressure fluctuation. Fiber plants can run finer filtration levels for PET (POY, FDY, IDY), Nylon 6, Nylon 66, and PP (BCF, spunbond) without sacrificing throughput or stability at the spinning frame.
Key Benefits: Drastic reduction in spinneret blockages; fewer thread breaks; improved tensile strength, dye uniformity, and overall appearance in finished fibers and filaments.
Typical Polymers: PET (POY, FDY, IDY), Nylon 6, Nylon 66, PP (BCF, spunbond) and related fiber‑grade polymers that demand very clean melt and stable spinning conditions.
