In order to fulfil their odour-filtering function, membranes must be free of holes or other damage. Gentle handling of the membrane is therefore of crucial importance. The substantial dead weight of such membranes in industrial applications places truly high demands on tear resistance. For a maximum width of twelve meters and a length of up to 100 meters, we have developed practical solutions for the logistics of handling membranes using equipment that is already available, such as wheel loaders or tractors.
