PZ-Microdur weaves /reverse plain dutch weaves

 

PZ-Microdur weaves, or, reverse plain dutch weaves, combine the properties of fine metal wire meshes with high mechanical stability which are key properties for the specialized requirements of solid-liquid filtration. In many cases, PZ-Microdur weave is referred to as reverse woven plain dutch weave/RPD or ROBUSTA mesh. 

 

 

This involves mesh in plain weave pattern, with many wires in warp direction having a thin diameter and relatively few wires in weft direction having a large diameter. This construction makes wire meshes in a fineness of 14 µm nominal opening to meshes of 200 µm opening possible. 

 

 

PZ-Microdur weaves have proven themselves outstanding in every application in which high demands are made on the mechanical stability of the metal mesh due to backwashing processes or centrifugal filtercake removal or cleaning processes. Typical designs are vertical pressure leaf filters (Niagara filters) and horizontal pressure leaf filters, as well as centrifuges and cartridge filters whose flow can be reversed.
