Technology is what we use for making excellent permeable metal products. We use state-of-the-art production technology to maxmize its functional potential for our customers. Our product tech are fteu proprietary developments to create products with effective performance for the customer process.
At this basis of every technology is a commitment to excellence in product quality. Quality parameters and control mechanisms are strictly defined and tested for. We use testing equipment to ensure parameter control and documentation that all products of a given specification are of reliable quality.
SINTERING
Production Tech
state-of-the- art vacuum sintering
permanent material joint between wires, fibres or layers
ideal for creating high-porosity or multi-layered products
SEPARATING
Production Tech
state-of-the-art thermal and mechanical separating technology
establish cutting technology (laser, plasma, stamping etc.) and permeable metal specific cutting machinery
high precision cutting in all shapes across entire permeable metal scope
FORMING
Production Tech
precise forming into cylindrical and 3 drimensional shapes
forming technology as isolated production step for components or integrated in process chain (i.e. progressive tooling)
see PLEATING technology for maximization of surface are by forming
PLEATING
Production Tech
industry-leading technology for high precision pleats below 3mm
maximization of surface area for filters and elements in all sizes – from micro filters up to 1’000mm in pleating width
permeable metal and material specific expertise and equipments (open mesh, closed mesh, multi-layer laminates etc.; stainless steel, copper etc.)
JOINTING
Production Tech
full scope of welding technology for a variety of metal specs (i.e. stainless steel, aluminum)
stand-alone welding machinery for large dimenion products or integrated in process chain for high-volume production
integrated function testing and parameter control for consistent quality
We develop specific technology at fteu with which we push the limits of permeable metal function further.
MASH®
Product Tech - fteu® developed
MASH – Material Absorbing Sound and Heat
sound absorption optimized for low-frequency noise below 2’000Hz
maximizing function of pipe sound absorbers – optimial low-frequency absorption in conjunction with minimal flow resistance
D3SM
Product Tech - fteu® developed
3 dimensional flow geometry for optimal flow orientation and full surface penetration of passing fluid
ideally suited for high-velocity gas processes, chieving temperature absorption and particle agglomeration on surface
MICRO PLEATS
Product Tech - fteu® developed
permeable metal pleats with a hgeight smaller than 3mm bring surface maximization to micro filters
automatic technology bring MicroPleats to nearly all product dimensions and even allows for varying pleating heights within the same permeable metal spec or product
PM DEVELOPMENT
Product Tech - fteu® developed
fteu brings precise permeability, stability, flow geometry and filtration to advanced industry processes
the right permeable metal is defined by the customer process. We find the right material that actually brings function (more performance to the customer process). If we cannot find it, we well develop and make it
