Precise knowledge of processes, years of experience with filter media and extensive know-how in capital engineering – these are the key success factors for the newest business unit at GKD – Gebr. Kufferath AG, Düren. Last year, this international leader in the field of technical meshes expanded its range of services by establishing a new division: CAPITAL EQUIPMENT for capital equipment and engineering. Now, the business unit GKD-CompactFiltration has been added to this division. The core product of the new business unit is Maxflow, a compact, modular unit designed for process filtration.

Next generation filter Maxflow combines filtration without filter aids – or, if they are required, with considerably reduced quantities of filter aids – and briquetting in a single unit. Simplified disposal, because the waste product is optimally separated and vastly reduced in volume, low maintenance requirements and modular expansion options all qualify the Maxflow concept as a next generation filter. The main fields of application for Maxflow are particle filtration, the retrieval of recyclable materials and the purification of aqueous solutions. The system has already successfully proved its efficiency in a range of industries, metal-working, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical and food-processing, as well as in the environmental sector.
Made-to-measure filter unit design GKD-CompactFiltration develops tailor-made concepts in collaboration with its customers. As partners for truly integrated solutions, GKD's filter and equipment specialists are there for their customers at all stages, and not just from design and dimensioning through to commissioning of the equipment. Even later on, when the equipment needs to be expanded and adapted to meet changing production conditions, the team of GKD continue to provide worldwide competent service that is supported by the German sites in Tuttlingen and Düren. In spite of its modular features, the Maxflow system is not an isolated application. It meets all the requirements of established standards. At the same time, it can be adapted through individual modifications to fulfill the production parameters of the customer, no matter how specific these may be, and can be flexibly expanded even after implementation. Through comprehensive services that accompany the production process, GKD becomes an integral part of the customer's supply chain and can thus at all stages guarantee the efficiency of its filter concepts.
Worldwide availability With six production facilities – two of them in , the others in the , , and the – as well as agencies and partners, the GKD Group guarantees efficient deployment of the Maxflow filter system all over the world. Together with GKD-Delkor, GKD-CompactFiltration in GKD's CAPITAL EQUIPMENT division is setting worldwide standards in capital engineering for clearly defined submarkets in the solid/liquid filtration sector. The other division, WORLD WIDE WEAVE for technical meshes, comprises the business units SOLID WEAVE for innovative filter media, WEAVE IN MOTION for process belt technology and CREATIVE WEAVE for metallic architectural and design fabrics. 610 employees worldwide – 405 of them in – are GKD's guarantee for a truly global and efficient network of service and competence. |
