Mesh Spacers for Reverse Osmosis
Mesh spacers are placed between membrane layers and play a crucial role in optimising flow dynamics. By promoting turbulence, they enhance filtration efficiency, limit deposit formation and support the long-term performance of membrane systems.
They are used mainly in spiral-wound reverse osmosis (RO) elements, where they keep the membrane sheets apart and create an open channel for the feed water to flow through. Supplied on rolls with a uniform structure and consistent thickness, they run smoothly on membrane element winding lines.
Mesh Spacers for Reverse Osmosis
Optimised flow dynamics
Mesh spacers keep an open, even flow channel between the membrane layers. The feed water can move freely through the whole element.
Improved filtration efficiency
The mesh structure promotes turbulence at the membrane surface. This helps the membrane filter more efficiently.
Reduced fouling
Mesh spacers limit the build-up of deposits, scaling and concentration polarisation. The membrane surface stays in better condition for longer.
Long-term performance
Spacers support a stable output and a longer service life of the membrane element. The system keeps performing well over time.
Uniform structure
Consistent mesh geometry and thickness give predictable performance from element to element. Every element you build behaves the same way.
Mechanical strength
The spacer holds its shape under pressure and during winding. The flow channel stays open, just as it was designed.
Production-friendly
Mesh spacers are supplied on rolls for efficient processing on winding lines. They feed smoothly into element production.
Customisable
Thickness, mesh geometry and width can be adapted to the element design. Each spacer is made to fit the element it goes into.
