GKD at FILTECH 2024: Innovations for water management and hot gas filtration
Gebr. Kufferath AG will be presenting its latest technical mesh solutions at the FILTECH 2024 trade show in Cologne, Germany. "WEAVING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE" is the theme for GKD under which the world market leader from Germany will be showing how it is revolutionizing the process industry and municipal water management sector and making them future-proof with its innovative filtration and separation technologies. Being so close to the company’s headquarters in Düren, the FILTECH trade fair in Cologne has always been an important “home game” for GKD.
Key points at a glance:
- GKD is presenting cutting-edge mesh solutions for many areas of application, including the water management sector.
- Highlights of the GKD exhibition booth (Hall 8, B19) include the patented CAPTURION road runoff filter for microplastic filtration and the TRIMETRIC and VOLUMETRIC filter meshes which have been especially customized for industrial dust and exhaust gas filtration in the automotive industry, as well as other areas.
- GKD experts Markus Knefel, Dominik Herper, and Daniel Venghaus will be at the FILTECH conference to present the company’s Vortex technology, a proprietary water permeability test for porous materials, as well as the URBAN FILTER project, which is where the CAPTURION product was also developed.
Focus on water management
GKD will be presenting cutting-edge mesh solutions for water management at FILTECH 2024. The company’s innovative filter and separation technologies were specially developed to meet the needs of the process industry and municipal water management sector. One of the
highlights is the patented CAPTURION system used for microplastic filtration. This technology is used in storm sewers to capture a large proportion of tire debris resulting from abrasion which would otherwise be carried into the environment by rainwater runoff.
Special mesh for hot gas filtration
In addition to solutions for water and microplastic filtration, the GKD booth will also be showcasing mesh technologies used for hot gas filtration. The focus here is on the TRIMETRIC and VOLUMETRIC filtration meshes which have been specifically optimized for industrial dust filtration and exhaust gas filtration in the automotive industry.
GKD experts on stage at the conference
- A large number of experts from GKD will once again be attending the FILTECH conference this year, which is taking place at the same time as the trade show.
- On Tuesday, November 12, at 1:00 pm, Markus Knefel, Senior Product Predevelopment & Development Expert, will present GKD’s Vortex technology – a patented, high-efficiency solution for the filtration and separation of continuously flowing air and liquids.
- On Wednesday, November 13, at 4:45 pm, Dominik Herper (Research & Development) will speak about the “Water Permeability Test for Porous Materials”.
- On Thursday, November 14, at 1:00 pm, Danial Venghaus, Key Market Manager for Water, together with the team from the Berlin Institute of Technology will be presenting their URBAN FILTER project where they tested the CAPTURION filter system under live conditions in Berlin’s urban traffic.
"We're delighted that our expertise is appreciated and that we once again have the opportunity to present ourselves to the specialist audiences at FILTECH this year,” says Dominik from Research & Development at the GKD Group.
A holistic approach for process solutions
GKD highly values a holistic approach when it comes to developing process solutions. "Our strength lies in our comprehensive understanding of the processes used by our customers and offering them solutions tailored to meet their needs. All of our expertise flows into the
development of industrial meshes and process belts, thus ensuring maximum efficiency and safety,” explains Michael Seelert, Director Market Segment Process Belts.
Come to the GKD booth at FILTECH 2024 in Cologne, Germany. Our experts will be waiting for you in Hall 8A, Booth B19, and are looking forward to having some lively discussions about the latest developments in filtration technology and its industrial use.

GKD auf der FILTECH 2023: saubere Sache!
Auf der internationalen Leitmesse für Filter- und Trenntechnik FILTECH stellt GKD Lösungen vor, die Wasser sauberer und Luft reiner machen – getreu der Vision des Unternehmens: FOR A HEALTHIER, CLEANER, SAFER WORLD.
Bei der Wäsche, beim Duschen oder Auto fahren: Ständig gelangt Mikroplastik in die Umwelt beziehungsweise ins Wasser. Ob als herausgewaschene Chemiefaser aus synthetischer Kleidung, als Mikropartikel in Kosmetika oder als Reifenabrieb auf der Straße. GKD arbeitet als weltweiter Technologieführer für hochmoderne Industriegewebe und Filtrationslösungen bereits seit Jahren intensiv an Lösungen hierfür. Zum Beispiel im Rahmen der Forschungsprojekte Optimierte Materialien und Verfahren zur Entfernung von Mikroplastik (OEMP) und Reifenabrieb in der Umwelt (RAU), die vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert werden.
Auch auf der FILTECH, die vom 14. bis 16. Februar 2023 in Köln stattfindet, stehen Lösungen zur Wasser- und Mikroplastikfiltration im Mittelpunkt des GKD Messeauftritts. So stellt der Weltmarktführer aus Düren das dreidimensionale Filtergewebe Porometric vor. Dessen Leistungsspektrum übertrifft alle vergleichbaren Gewebe in diesem Bereich. Eine weitere Innovation ist ein Mikrofiltertiegel für die Analyse von Mikroplastik, bei dessen Entwicklung GKD mit dem Umweltbundesamt und der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung zusammengearbeitet hat. Ergänzend wird Dominik Herper, Entwick¬lungsingenieur bei GKD, einen Expertenvortrag zum Thema „Mikroplastikfiltration und Filtration von stark verdünnten Schlämmen“ halten.
Einen weiteren Fokus legt GKD in Köln auf Innovationen in der Heißgasfiltration – darunter die Filtergewebe Trimetric und Volumetric, die beispielsweise zur Staubfiltration in der Industrie oder zur Abgasfilterung bei Automobilen eingesetzt werden können. Doch nicht nur im Bereich Industriegewebe überzeugt der Weltmarktführer aus Düren. Michael Seelert, Director Market Segment Process Belts, bei GKD: „Unsere Stärke ist der gesamt¬heitliche Blick auf die Prozesse unserer Kunden. Um hier die besten und effizientesten Lösungen zu finden, nutzen wir unser gesamtes Know-how in den Bereichen der Industriegewebe und Prozessbänder.“
Ein Austausch mit den Gewebeexpertinnen und -experten auf der Messe lohnt sich also in jedem Fall.

Conference Presentation/s
Water permeability testing for porous materials
D. Herper*, GKD - Gebr. Kufferath AG, Germany
Conference Session: F07 - Modelling and Testing of Filter Media Properties - 2024-11-13, 16:45 - 18:00
Permeability measurements for filter media are widely used in the industry. Especially air permeability measurements are a standard characteristic which is also included in most specification sheets of various filter media manufacturers.
Woven filter media is widely used in liquid solid separation. Despite this fact there is no standardized liquid medium permeability test focusing on filtration media which is widely used in the industry.
As water or water-based liquids are the dispersion medium in many solid-liquid separation processes, GKD has decided to build a water permeability testing bench, to be able to determine reliable values for the water permeability of a filter medium.
Although developed for woven filter materials, the test bench can be utilized to test all kins au permeable materials. The only limitation is the fact, that the test bench uses hydrostatic pressure for measurements, making it difficult to test ultra fine materials, such as membranes.
This presentation intends to show the challenges of construction, explain the measurement techniques that are used in accordance to DIN EN ISO 11058 and illustrate the possibilities that the data recorded provides for manufacturers as well as customers...
