Wetlaid and spunlace production lines consume significant amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. At the same time, manufacturers face increasing pressure to reduce chemical usage, recover valuable fibers, and improve overall sustainability performance.

KM Filtration Systems are developed as a mechanical alternative to conventional filtration units such as sand filters, flotation systems, and chemical treatment processes. Instead of relying on coagulants or flocculants, the system uses dedicated mechanical filtration equipment to recover and reuse water and fibers within the production process.

This process-integrated approach helps reduce water consumption, minimize energy use, lower chemical costs, and improve the environmental footprint of wetlaid and spunlace production lines.

Mechanical Water and Fiber Recovery

Filtration Performance

KM Filtration Systems improve production efficiency by recovering process water and fibers through a multi-stage mechanical filtration concept.

The system is designed to support cleaner water circulation, lower raw material loss, and more sustainable production without relying on conventional chemical filtration methods.

Water Savings

Supports significant process water recovery and reuse.

Fiber Recovery

Helps recover valuable fibers from the production process.

Energy Savings

Contributes to lower energy consumption in production.

Chemical-Free Approach

Reduces dependency on coagulants and flocculants.

Cleaner, More Efficient Production

Why KM Filtration Systems?

KM Filtration Systems are built for manufacturers who want to reduce water consumption, recover valuable fibers, minimize chemical dependency, and improve the sustainability of wetlaid and spunlace production.

By replacing conventional chemical-heavy filtration methods with mechanical filtration technologies, the system supports a more efficient, cost-conscious, and environmentally responsible production process.

Multi-Stage Mechanical Filtration

How KM Filtration Systems Work

KM Filtration Systems use a combination of mechanical filtration technologies to separate, recover, and reuse water and fibers in wetlaid and spunlace production processes.

Instead of chemical treatment, the system applies multi-stage filtration through dedicated equipment selected according to process water quality, fiber content, production capacity, and recovery targets.

1
Process Water Collection

Water containing fibers is collected from the production process.

2
First-Stage Fiber Separation

Larger fibers and suspended particles are separated mechanically.

3
Multi-Stage Filtration

Drum filters, self-cleaning filters, glass media filters, and bag filters are used according to process needs.

4
Fiber Recovery

Recoverable fibers are separated and returned to the production process where applicable.

5
Water Reuse

Filtered water is reused within the production line.

6
Reduced Chemical Load

The system reduces or eliminates the need for coagulants and flocculants.

Integrated Filtration Equipment

Filtration Technology

KM Filtration Systems can combine multiple mechanical filtration technologies according to process requirements. Each filtration stage is selected to improve water clarity, recover fibers, and support reliable water circulation in the production line.

Drum Filters

Separate fibers and suspended solids from process water.

High-Pressure Filters

Support continuous filtration with reduced manual intervention.

Glass Media Filters

Improve water filtration performance in multi-stage.

Bag Filter Systems

Provide additional filtration support for finer particles.

Less Water, Less Waste, More Recovery

Sustainability Benefits

KM Filtration Systems directly support sustainability targets by reducing water consumption, energy use, chemical dependency, and fiber loss.

The system helps manufacturers recover valuable process resources instead of discarding them, improving both environmental performance and production cost efficiency.
