Nowadays, the Automotive Industry is one of the sector which most requires advanced performances in terms of longer filter life, higher efficiency and lower pressure drop. Saati is able to offer a wide product range of mesh and cut to size parts, whose  physical and consistent properties can perfectly match the Component manufacturers’  requirements in terms of  Filtration Efficiency. Furthermore, Saati filter media can represent a considerable advantage for customers who need specific surface treatments/coatings and dimensional characteristics (mesh opening, open area, yarn count, yarn diameter).

2 Capabilities

2.1 MESH

Saati weaves  Monofilament Polyester, Polyamide and Polypropylene with several mesh openings and open areas. Our customer can choose our media by pore size, flow rate and thickness, including special finishes and colors.

Our mesh in the Automotive Industry can be expression of:

• Defined pore size and opening size’s stability
• Consistency of mesh features (lot to lot reproducibility)
• Excellent Dust holding capacity
• Excellent Flow rate
• Good abrasion and Temperature Resistance
• Smooth and uniform surface (constant flows distribution on all surface)
• High workability and mechanical strengths
• Hydrophobic behaviour
• Good chemical resistance

2.2  Fabricated parts

In addition to full-width rolls, Saati provides cut to size parts in different shapes and sizes. Through several technologies (Ultrasonic/Laser cutting and welding,  Hot and cold stamping), we are able to supply our customers:

• Ribbons
• Tubular Ribbons
• Tubes
• Pleated Elements
• Bags
• And many others according to customer’s requirements

2.3 Multilayer Filter media

Saatitex Media, an innovative combination of precision woven and nonwoven, are the best solutions in applications requiring maximum filter performance, high workability and strength.   To combine more layers implies to exploit and join each layer’s properties /advantages.  

• woven pre-filter: it’s a protective layer with excellent workability properties
• non woven filter: it’s a fine layer with high dust holding capacity

In the Automotive Industry Saatitex can be used as fuel filter media in both cars and commercial vehicles thank to its high performance in particle removal, excellent resistance to fuels, high filtration efficiency, long life performance and precision characteristics.

2.4 Surface Treatments

In order to maximize our customers’ satisfaction and improve out products’ competitiveness, we manufacture rolls/fabricated parts with specific surface treatments, coatings, finishes and colors.

Our mesh’s hydrophobic behavior is one of our main strengths, particularly within the modern diesel injection systems where the fuel-water separation is strongly needed.
