Cummins Filtration announced that it has entered into a cooperation agreement with Elmarco, a Czech nanotechnology designer. The strategic objective of the agreement is to develop nanofiber media technologies that will to allow Cummins Filtration to better serve global application needs in motor vehicle and related filtration systems.
Elmarco, in close cooperation with the Technical University of Liberec has developed its exclusive Nanospider technology that the company said is capable of producing a consistent web of nanofibers with diameters of 50 to 300 nanometers, approximately 1000 times smaller than a human hair. Filter media with this increased surface area collect a significantly greater number of particulates, which results in superior filter efficiency. The capability for high particle removal in motor vehicle filtration is a critical factor to protect the environment and to increase motor vehicle durability. The use of such advanced technology, in conjunction with Cummins’ patented reduced-volume filter designs, enables the production of smaller, more efficient filters with greater design flexibility.
