NewsHerding® OMIKRON – The freeadaptable Sinter-Plate Filter
The new Herding® OMIKRON element is a washable and sterilizable unibody filter element made ofpolyethylene for pure surface filtration. It is food-compliant according to the FDA and the European
directives and future-oriented free of PFAS. The special feature is, that the geometry and theconnection of the sintered rigid-body filter elements are freely adaptable. Due to their parametric
design, they can be precisely tailored to any application and can thus be integrated into existing
system components, as well.
The Herding® OMIKRON filter element has the unique properties of the classic Herding® Sinter-Plate
Filter and at the same time enables customers to adapt the filter element to their specificrequirements.

Properties and benefits
We use the freedom in design of additive processes to free the proven Herding® Sinter-Plate Filter
technology from its geometric restrictions by means of completely new molding shape systems.
This results in a variety of benefits: The Herding® OMIKRON filter element now allows pure surface
filtration even with small volume flows. It is possible to optimize the filter shapes and filter surfaces
individually to suit the respective customer process, fit filters exactly into existing installation spaces,
and manufacture suitable connection interfaces to our customers’ existing system technology. Thefilters and their microporous surface coating are made of the same material. They are rigid, robustand easily washable and sterilizable. This allows them to be optimally adapted to the hygiene
requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Durable solutions for food applications
Strict hygiene requirements in the food and pharmaceutical industries often make it necessary toreplace disposable filters made of paper or textile on a regular basis to prevent bacterial growth
Herding® OMIKRON can be washed or sterilized after product contact or when the product is changed
and can be used repeatedly in the process in a germ-free manner. Operating and disposal costs arethus be reduced considerably. The fiber-free sintered unibody enables contamination-free productrecovery, for example in pneumatic conveying or in industrial dust extraction systems.

Pure surface filtration ever since
The Herding® filtration technology is based on pure surface filtration and sustainably protects man
and machine from harmful production emissions, enables absolute sorts- and contamination-freerecovery and thus directly increases your productivity. Lowest clean gas values, absolutely constantoperating conditions, maximum availability and energy efficiency are the central features of theinnovative technology.
Herding® filter media have enormously long service lifetimes and, depending on the process, achieve
service lives of more than 15 years. Their use thus makes a valuable contribution to environmental
protection and sustainability. In almost all industrial sectors, Herding® filter media have proventhemselves for decades in effective and safe particle separation. And with Herding® OMIKRON, theseproperties can now be used with low volume flows as well.
