The relationship between needle punched felt manufacturing process and filtration performance

In the field of filter material manufacturing, needle punch felt is popular for its unique structure and performance. However, in addition to material selection, the manufacturing process of needle punch felt is also one of the key factors that determine its filtration performance. In the needle punching process, factors such as needle density, needle spacing and needle depth have a direct impact on the arrangement and density of fibers, which in turn affects the filtration efficiency and durability of the needle punch felt.

First, needle density refers to the number of needle punches per unit area. The size of needle density directly affects the tightness between fibers and the pore structure. Higher needle density can arrange the fibers more closely and form smaller pores, thereby improving filtration efficiency. But at the same time, too high needle density may also cause the gaps between fibers to be too small, increase filtration resistance and reduce filtration speed. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the relationship between filtration efficiency and filtration speed during the manufacturing process and select an appropriate needle density.

Secondly, the needle gauge refers to the distance between two adjacent needles. The size of the needle pitch also affects the arrangement and density of the fibers. Appropriate needle pitch can form uniform gaps between fibers and improve filtration efficiency. However, if the needle pitch is too large, the gaps between the fibers will become larger, resulting in a decrease in filtration efficiency; if the needle pitch is too small, the gaps between the fibers will be too small, increasing the filtration resistance. Therefore, the appropriate needle pitch needs to be selected during the manufacturing process based on the characteristics of the material and application requirements.

Finally, needle depth refers to the depth to which the puncture penetrates the fibrous layer. The size of the needle depth also has an important influence on the arrangement and density of the fibers. Proper needle depth can make the fiber layers more tightly bonded, improving filtration efficiency and durability. However, if the needle depth is too deep, it may damage the fiber structure and reduce the filtration performance; if the needle depth is too shallow, the bonding between fiber layers is not tight enough, which may easily lead to a decrease in filtration performance.

Proper needle punching process can make the fiber arrangement more uniform and tight, thereby improving the filtration efficiency and service life of the needle punch felt. During the manufacturing process, appropriate parameters such as needle density, needle spacing, and needle depth need to be selected based on the material characteristics and application requirements to ensure that the needle punch felt has excellent filtration performance. At the same time, attention must also be paid to the stability and reliability of the manufacturing process to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality.
