Six activated carbon media for cleaner air and cleaner industries
Selecting the right filter media is crucial for the safety and cost-effectiveness of facilities and businesses. Our product portfolio includes six activated carbon filter media for a wide range of applications and requirements. These can be used in numerous MANN+HUMMEL filters to provide precise and highly effective adsorption of threats such as AMC, VOCs, or corrosive gases.
Carboactiv powder nonwovens
Nonwovens are impregnated with an activated carbon paste, dried, and processed into rolls or sheets in various thicknesses and qualities.
- Ideal for flat filters or pre-filtration applications
- Excellent adsorption capacity with low pressure drop
Carboactiv powder foams
Foams are impregnated with an activated carbon paste and processed into rolls or sheets in various thicknesses and qualities.
- Large surface area for efficient adsorption
- Lightweight and easy to integrate into systems
Carboactiv granulate foams
Foam matrices are coated with adhesive and activated carbon granules to maximise adsorption performance.
- Perfect for applications requiring a large contact surface
- Robust and durable for demanding environments
Carboactiv pleatable media
Activated carbon is applied in layers to the substrate, creating a material that can be processed into pleated filter elements.
- Compatible with compact filter systems
- High adsorption efficiency in a small footprint
Carboactiv honeycombs
Ceramic honeycomb structures are composed of 60 per cent activated carbon powder and 40 per cent ceramic binders, creating a rigid and highly adsorptive filter body.
- High chemical resistance and regenerable
- Tough and durable in industrial environments
Carboactiv fill
Granules or pellets made from activated carbon or chemical sorbents, available in various grain sizes. These materials can be filled into cartridges, modules, or other containers.
- Versatile and adaptable for a wide range of applications
- High adsorption capacity for gases and odours
