In February 2021, OMG acquired the order from Tunisian customer for the supply of a TE5 filter
pump equipped with polypropylene (PP) filter cloths suitable for alkaline galvanizing baths.
The customer has been using two OMG Filter pumps series TE with exellent filtration results.
Please, find here below the main technical feautures:
• Capacity 10.000 lt/h, effective capacity 5.000 lt/h, filtering surface approx 2,7 smq,
filtration degree < 1 micron

causing possible negative effects on filtration results.
OMG is able to provide PP filter cloths designed in accordance to customers’ drawings and different
technical specifications: weight composition (warp, weft and finish), tensile strength, elongation, air
permeability, chemical resistance / hydrolysis, heat set finish.
In this specific case, square Halved PP filtering fabric clothes 320*320 d hole 50 – laser cut – weigh
500 gr/mq – permeability 5 l/dmq*min, have been mounted on the filter pump.
