Fuel & Oil
In oil processing or for fuel filtration, permeable metals achieve high levels of purity through precise microgeometries. For filters and absorbers, the focus is not only on the degree of filtration but also on the influence on the flow behavior. The high flowability of the medium requires filigree metal components assembeld with the highest precision, especially at seams between metallic components, for excellence in product qualiy and customer function.

Water &
Low Viscosity Liquids
Our products for process water and comparable low-viscosity liquids are often filters for separating impurities. With frequently large volume flows, the pressure difference created by the filter should usually be kept as low as possible so that permeable metals with good permeability properties or surface-enhancing manufacturing processes such as pleating can be used.

High Viscosity Liquids
Highly viscous liquids, e.g. melted polymers, often place high demands on purity and mechanical strength during processing. By suitably combining different permeable metals, solutions for fine filtration with simultaneous resistance to high process pressures can be realized.

Food & Sensitive Fluids and Liquids
Permeable metals combine durability with low weight. Permeable metals are used for precise separation of defined particle sizes. Used as a transport material for solids, they also maximize the contact surface with the ambient air. For solids, products made of permeable metals are often used as precision sieves, police filters, means of transportation or load carriers.

Function for Process Performance
fteu products are solutions in all industrial sectors. Besides the product as hardware itself, our scope in value chain and service is designed for your demands – from automotive lifecycle (per IATF and VDA standards) to one piece engineering and production for specialized industrial machinery. We create performance in the customer process by adressing the functional target charcteristics specific to the produt funciton(s) required.
Flow
Industrial processes can be optimized and accelerated through the defined orientation of fluids – air, gases, liquids or melts. This function can be used to prevent turbulence and velocity gradients as well as to deliberately create turbulence. The targeted use of fluid orientation makes it possible to improve the speed and reliability of your processes. We achieve better orientation for you by designing the three principal target characteristics of flow for your application: orientation of flow, distribution/dispersion of fluid and processing efficiency
Filtration
Filtration is implemented using filter elements that retain unwanted particles and separate them from your desired process fluid. The filtration of liquid and gaseous fluids enables efficient processes. Your target values of process efficiency, process stability and product quality depend on your filtration. We increase your performance by optimizing the three principal target characteristics of filtration for your application: grade of filtration, fluid flow and processing efficiency
Absorption
By using porous temperature absorbers, heat can be absorbed and transferred in a defined manner while a fluid flow can pass through at the same time. This allows heat absorption to take place during the process, especially for gaseous fluids. Three principal target characteristics are relevant for the defined use of temperature absorption: temperature absorption/reduction, permeability and efficiency
By absorbing sound waves, noise is reduced and the environmental conditions for your processes or in your systems are improved. The noise conditions in your processes and systems can be optimized through sound insulation. Better sound insulation means less noise. We achieve better sound insulation for you by optimizing the functional variables of sound absorption for your application: sound absorption/reduction and processing efficiency
Conduction
Metallic propperties are well suited for electrical application – specifically for aerial (as opposed to linear in a single wire) conduction. Permeable metal allows for almost limitless freedom in forming geometry while allowing for defined conductive properties in any location of a components. With the additional benefit of the permeable structure allowing for ideal integration in subsequent assembly groups (i.e. with a surrounding polymer) or permeability for other process relevant elements (i.e. hydrogen separeated from water permeating through a permeable metal. Principal functional target characteristics are: gemeotry, location specific conductive property (definition for each location of a component) processing, location specific permeability and procssing efficiency
Handling
We produce precision assemblies that meet the highest standards of workmanship, feel and appearance. Due to its material and structure, metal mesh has outstanding properties, e.g. for load carriers or design elements. In precise assemblies, we manufacture products from various metallic elements that optimize three principal target characteristics: precision, ergonomics/design function and processing efficiency

Flow distribution and control of process air. Absorption and/or targeted conduction of extreme process temperatures. Our products are as diverse in design, performance and size as their applications.
Oil & Fuel Oil
Permeable metals are often in demand in oil pipelines or for fuel filtration, as they achieve high purities through precise microgeometries. In the case of filters and absorbers, in addition to the degree of filtration, the influence on the flow behavior is particularly important. Due to the high flowability and often delicate metals, integrity and precise processing, especially at the seams between metallic components, are of paramount importance for product quality.
Water & Low Viscosity
Our products for process water and comparable low-viscosity Gas & Air Our products are used in all functions in gas and air. Liquids are often used as filters to separate contaminants. With frequently large volume flows, the pressure difference created by the filter should usually be kept as low as possible, so that permeable metals with good permeability properties or surface-enhancing manufacturing processes such as pleating can be used.
Polymer
Highly viscous liquids, such as melted polymers, often have high demands on purity and mechanical strength during processing. By combining different permeable metals in a suitable way, solutions for fine filtration can be realized while at the same time being resistant to high process pressures.
