Overview

Filters & Membranes

Filters, more precisely, fluid filters, are used to separate solid particles from a gas or liquid flow. The breadth of applications is enormous: motor vehicles need oil, fuel, and air filters; activated carbon filters and respirators protect people from hazardous substances; and industrial filtration systems are critical to manufacturing, water treatment, and HVAC operations. Kirkco engineers precision resin encapsulation and automated adhesive dispensing architectures that ensure consistent sealing, reduced scrap, and scalable automation readiness for filter OEMs.

Resin Encapsulation for Industrial Filter Elements

Kirkco engineered a resin encapsulation architecture to stabilize pleated filter media and ensure consistent sealing under high-flow conditions. Filter OEMs required repeatable encapsulation quality, reduced scrap, and scalable automation readiness.

The solution uses gear-pump metering with static mixing and precise flow regulation, enabling controlled dispensing of PU or epoxy resins to fully wet and seal pleated media. Recipe-based control validates bead volume and placement on every cycle.

Automated 2K Adhesive Encapsulation for High-Volume Filter Production

A newly introduced filter design experienced rapid market adoption, driving a sharp increase in production volume. Manual encapsulation methods were no longer sufficient to maintain delivery readiness, process consistency, or cost control. Kirkco engineered a fully automated two-component adhesive encapsulation architecture to replace the manual process.

The solution consists of a robot-integrated automation cell paired with a modular, servo-driven two-component dosing system. After commissioning, the automated process enabled high-output production with maximum process reliability, measurably reduced material consumption, and lower unit costs.
