About Custom Filters
Custom filter design is a specialized service that Sidco has offered since the founding of our company. We use a collaborative process to reverse engineer a filter that will meet your needs and specifications. It entails evaluating your needs, as well as utilizing a variety of tactics; while developing a new manufacturing design or sourcing specialty raw materials. Sidco is one of the few manufacturers who will assist with a custom application or reverse engineer a filter. View Construction CapabilitiesView Specialty MaterialsCapabilities and Opportunities
Sidco has a variety of capabilities to manufacture custom filters for your unique application. We can work with an OEM on a new application, customize an existing filter to better suit your needs, or reverse engineer an existing filter.
Our team is also happy to evaluate new designs, specifications, or filter projects that are not high volume. One of our niche areas is specialized, low-volume applications or special modifications to current filters.
The construction of a filter can vary depending on the needs of its application. To accommodate these needs Sidco has a variety of construction materials and capabilities. We work with each customer to create a design that fits their parameters.
These special constructions are developed for both our cylindrical filters, as well as our panel designs.
