What are Viledon filter mats and how are they used?

Definition and overview of Viledon filter mats

Viledon filter mats are an innovative solution for industrial filtration systems, characterised by high quality, longevity and efficiency. Developed by Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, they provide optimal protection for machines, plants and people by filtering contaminants from the air and ensuring a clean environment.

Viledon filter mats are high-quality depth filters used to separate fine dust, particles and contaminants in industrial ventilation systems. These filter media are built up progressively and ensure a high dust holding capacity with minimum pressure drop.

Application areas in industrial filtration

Viledon filter mats are used in various industries:

  • Automotive industry (paint shops and surface technology)
  • Pharmaceutical industry (sterile air filtration)
  • Gas turbines and compressors
  • Air conditioning and cleanrooms
  • Museums and archives (for protection of sensitive exhibits)

Use in exhaust and recirculation filtration in air-handling equipment

Especially in ventilation and air conditioning systems, Viledon filter mats play a key role. They prevent contaminants from entering recirculation or exhaust systems, thereby contributing to air quality and energy efficiency.

Which technical properties characterise Viledon filter mats?

High-quality filter media and their performance features

Viledon filter mats consist of synthetic fibres with a progressive structure. This keeps the pressure drop low while the filters achieve a long service life.

Compliance with ISO 16890 and other standards

All Viledon filter mats comply with current filtration standards such as ISO 16890, DIN EN 779 and VDI 6022. This ensures consistently high quality and reliable performance in various applications.

Robustness and reliability in demanding environments

Thanks to the high-quality materials, Viledon filter mats are particularly resistant to moisture, high temperatures and aggressive gases. They are therefore perfectly suited for demanding industrial conditions.

How do Viledon filter mats contribute to cost efficiency?

Optimising operating costs in filter systems

Thanks to their high dust holding capacity, Viledon filter mats need to be replaced less frequently, which considerably lowers operating costs. In addition they provide efficient air flow, minimising energy consumption.

Longevity and efficiency of the filter mats

The progressive fibre layering of the filters ensures uniform dust separation over the entire service life. The filter media therefore remain functional longer, extending the replacement cycle.

Which specific solutions does Viledon offer for different industries?

Filter mats for gas turbines and compressors

In gas turbines and compressors, high-performance filter solutions are required to prevent damage from fine dust and corrosion. Viledon filter mats ensure uniform filtration at high air volume flow rates.

Solutions for extreme industrial requirements

For applications in extreme environments such as the metal and chemical industry, Viledon filter mats offer particular resistance to aggressive particles and high temperatures.

How do Viledon filter mats ensure maximum safety?

Protective function in demanding industrial environments

Viledon filter mats protect critical machine components from contamination and thereby extend the service life of equipment.

Reliable protection of people and machines

Through efficient separation of fine dust, germs and allergens, Viledon filter mats contribute not only to technical protection but also to the health of employees.

What makes Viledon filter mats an advanced filtration solution?

Innovative technologies and materials

Viledon filter mats are based on state-of-the-art synthetic fibre materials, which enable improved filtration performance at lower energy consumption.

Adaptability to specific customer requirements

Viledon filter mats are available in various sizes and filter classes and can be individually cut to meet specific customer requirements.
