Formerly known as GlenFlow, the fabrics will now be sold under the name RO-Flowâ„¢ High-Performance Reverse Osmosis Permeate Carrier Fabrics.
WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Shawmut, a leader in advanced material solutions, is excited to announce a redesign and rebranding of its technical fabrics used as permeate carriers for a wide range of reverse-osmosis filtration processes and high PH configurations. Formerly known as GlenFlow, the fabrics will now be sold under the name RO-Flowâ„¢ High-Performance Reverse Osmosis Permeate Carrier Fabrics.
Manufactured at Shawmut's state-of-the-art Park Avenue Technical Center in Burlington, North Carolina, RO-Flow Fabrics are crafted using bicomponent low-melt yarns and are built for maximum channel integrity. Leveraging decades of engineering expertise, Shawmut updated the fabric structure to offer enhanced durability within high-pressure systems, maintaining a high level of channel flow, while also delivering low pressure constructions using the same technology. RO-Flow fabrics can be delivered in both standard and custom configurations tailored to meet specific customer needs.
Key Features of RO-Flowâ„¢ High-Performance Reverse Osmosis Permeate Carrier Fabrics:
1. Unmatched Channel Integrity: RO-Flow fabrics exhibit unparalleled channel integrity, ensuring strength and durability even under demanding conditions. This robustness results in a consistently high flow rate throughout an extended service life.
2. Optimized Construction for Superior Performance: RO-Flow fabrics feature an optimized construction with a thinner profile, enabling increased wraps around the membrane. The broader channels on RO-Flow Permeate Carriers deliver heightened fluid volume output and a more efficient flow rate compared to alternative fabrics.
3. Innovative Hybrid Tricot Design: The innovative tricot design offers flexibility for membrane customization while maintaining exceptional channel integrity. This design minimizes compression and flow loss over time, guaranteeing long-lasting and efficient performance.
4. Tailored Configurations for Diverse Applications: RO-Flow fabrics provide custom configurations to address the unique requirements of various applications, ensuring a precise fit for specialized needs.
5. Eco-Friendly Fusion: Our proprietary RO-Flow fabrics incorporate heat-treated bicomponent yarn, fusing fibers without the need for harsh chemicals or epoxy. This eco-friendly approach sets a new standard for safety and sustainability in water filtration.
6. Stringent Regulatory Compliance: RO-Flow Permeate Carrier Fabrics meet rigorous regulatory standards, being Federal Drug Administration (FDA) compliant and certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and KIWA. RO-Flow Fabrics comply with NSF testing requirements and undergo an annual NSF audit to certify our quality system for filtration manufacturing. This assures users of the highest quality and safety in water or other liquid filtration applications.
Shawmut remains committed to providing advanced solutions for a wide range of commercial, municipal, and industrial filtration applications, and the update and rebranding of RO-Flowâ„¢ Fabrics is a testament to our dedication to innovation and excellence in the field.
