The Avoca Group

Filter Media

Avoca Industrial Technical Textiles supply high performance filter media for air and liquid applications. Across our wider group division, we have a global supplier network reach. We can also convert locally in Manchester to customer slit width and length needs. We also have warehousing allowing us to stock a selection of material for short notice call off.

Our Product Range

Chemical Viscose: Suitable for fine filtration and offers strong chemical compatibility.

Spunbond Non-Wovens: Lightweight, durable, and used for both air and liquid filtration.

Needlefelts: Dense, strong, and ideal for dust collection and industrial liquid filtration.

Whether you need to filter air, gas, or liquids, our fabrics deliver efficient, reliable, and long-lasting performance.

Commission Services

We offer the textile industry commission slitting, trimming, and converting services for customers’ own fabrics — all at competitive rates.

In today’s advanced manufacturing landscape, precision is everything. Microscopic metal fines, sludge and microbial growth can degrade cutting performance, wear out machines faster and reduce surface finish quality. These issues may go unnoticed initially but eventually lead to downtime, poor yield and increased operational expenses.

We work with customers to find the right customised solution to fit their needs. The array of options can feel overwhelming. We are there to guide and support you every step of the way.

The benefits of filtering CNC coolant:

  • Longer coolant and machine life
  • Less equipment downtime
  • Improved production rate
  • Reduced rejections and defective parts
  • Improved surface finish
  • Longer tool life
  • Reduced consumables costs
  • Reduced coolant disposal costs
  • Avoid rough cuts
  • Discourage bacterial growth

Choosing the right filter:

Filter Life: A correctly sized filter should provide reasonable life between change-outs. Filtration systems should be designed with flow rate in mind. Other influencing factors are viscosity, particle concentration and tramp oil or grease in coolant. An incorrectly sized filter will block prematurely, generate back pressure and reduce flow rate resulting in unplanned maintenance.

Filtration particle size: This depends on the machining job and available tolerances. In some applications it may be necessary to use a series of progressively finer filters in order to achieve the desired level of particulate removal.

Chemical compatibility: All materials in contact with coolant must be fully compatible to avoid deterioration and coolant contamination.

Viscosity of coolant: For a same sized filter, water based coolants will generate a much lower pressure drop as compared to oil based coolants. A larger filtration surface area for oil based coolants is therefore recommended.

Maintenance requirements: A correctly sized filtration system should require very little maintenance and provide reasonable life between filter change-outs.

Construction: Sharp metal chips can damage filter media, causing by-pass and filter failure. A robust filter construction will keep the particles trapped and retain structure even under tough operating conditions.

High-Performance Filter Media
