New Machinery for Filter Devices In response to increasing demand, Helapet are investing in the increased production of inline disc filters with brand new injection moulding machinery and tooling. For over 30 years our Filter Devices division has specialised in the design and manufacture of 25mm and 50mm inline filters, with the ability to customise them with different filter media and inlet/outlet connections.
