About R+F FilterElements GmbH
R+F FilterElements GmbH was founded with a clear focus on engineering-driven filtration solutions for demanding water and wastewater treatment applications. At the core of our company stands deep technical expertise in textile-based filtration media – from fiber selection to real-world operation in advanced treatment stages.
Our filtration technologies are developed in-house and are strongly shaped by the expertise of our co-founder Anna Rippel, a textile engineer with more than 15 years of experience in the development of filter media for solid-liquid separation and advanced wastewater filtration. She is the driving force behind our pile cloth media filtration technology, particularly for phosphorus removal and fine particle separation in tertiary and quaternary treatment stages.
What sets R+F FilterElements GmbH apart is our comprehensive understanding of the entire process chain. From yarn development and textile design to filtration performance and application-specific optimization, we know our products down to the smallest detail. This end-to-end expertise allows us to develop filtration solutions that are not only innovative, but also robust, reliable, and tailored to real operational requirements.
Complementing our technical development, we focus strongly on practical implementation, customer-specific solutions, and long-term partnerships. Our goal is to make advanced filtration technologies accessible, transparent, and economically viable – without compromising on performance or quality.
At R+F FilterElements GmbH, innovation is not a buzzword. It is the result of engineering depth, hands-on experience, and a continuous drive to improve filtration processes where it truly matters.
