About FAUDI
FAUDI GmbH is a medium-sized company based in Germany that has been developing and manufacturing filtration and separation technology for liquids and gases since 1938. The portfolio includes candle filter systems (precoat filters, regenerable microfilters, backflushing filters), belt filters, wedge-wire slot filters, module filters, sieve basket filters and strainers as well as activated carbon adsorbers, separators, gas separators, coalescers, jet pulse filters, demisters and bed filters. In addition, FAUDI offers recycling solutions such as briquetting presses, screw presses and chip hoppers. Systems are supplied as compact systems, central systems or turnkey systems, including piping design, instrumentation, measurement and control technology and an in-house electrical department, all from a single source. An in-house testing and analysis laboratory analyzes liquids for the design of optimal filtration processes. Main customers are refineries/oil & gas, the automotive and aerospace industries, chemicals & petrochemicals, power generation, rolling and steel industries, metal processing, machine tools, food & beverage and water management.
