Why Porous Sintered metal mesh media is fit for filter cartridges


The suitable choice of filter media with optimum pore size, strength and corrosion resistance allows prolong filter service with good efficiency particle retention. The sintered porous metal media meets the criteria and offers good particle separation efficiency while meeting the tight emission regulations for modern industrial processes. The production of specifically designed and engineered sintered porous metal media with consistent porous matrix, precise bubble point dimensions, close thickness tolerances and permeability uniformity ensures consistent filtration performance, suitable blowback cleaning and prolong service life.

The characteristics of metal filters, developed from different metal alloys, permit their service in the wide conditions such as high temperature, large pressure and corrosive media. Service temperature can increase up to 1000oC on the basis of choice of application metal. The basic advantages of sintered metal filters are- good strength and cracking hardness, large pressure and temperature potential, extensive resistance to thermal shock, corrosion resistance, easily cleanability, high welded assembly and prolong service.

Sintered mesh media have shown good particle efficiency, consistent filtration performance, suitable backwash and on-stream efficient performance. These elements can offer particle capture efficiency about 99.9% by using surface or depth techniques. In addition of efficient filtration consideration, the factors also include corrosion resistance, mechanical strength at application temperature, cake elimination and longer service life. These factors are essential for the successful and economical services. The performance of these filter media is based on the particulate holding capacity and the related pressure drop. This accumulating cake can be regularly eradicated during the blowback cycle. This suitability of the blowback cycle and filter pressure drop recovery is crucial function of characteristics of the accumulated particles in the cake and filter elements.

The sintered mesh is considered as partial-permanent media with the entire welded structure. The benefit of metallic filters is that can be welded to the components to receive durable sealed joints. The filter elements can withstand pressure spikes without media migration. The inherent hardness of the filter offers regular and back pulsed service for long duration. For the high temperature applications creep-fatigue interactions and elevated temperature corrosion processes are taken into account. The filters with partial-permanent media are economical like units offer minimal downtime, automatic operation with minor contribution of operation and mild maintenance.

Sintered mesh porous metal provides service at temperature limits varying from 400 – 950oC on the basis of alloy material and atmospheric media. Sintered metal filter elements can withstand differential pressures above 210 bar. The sintered metal is a permanent media that can pair with the whole welded structure if needed and can work with pressure spikes without movement of media.

Permanent structure of sintered metal mesh

Sintered mesh media features permanent structure that enables cleaning of filter cartridges in the diverse ways without any migration of media. An optimum choice of alloy for corrosion resistance and media grade for particle elimination ensures liquid purity or gas during separation. In-situ cleaning in process filters by liquid or gas backwash. The chemical cleaning with suitable materials or ultrasonic cleaning in the detergent solution will prevent insoluble contaminants from inside the filter media. Sintered metal mesh is made from the diverse corrosion resistant alloys such as Monel 400, Inconel 625, Nickel 200, Stainless steel 304/304l, Inconel 600 and Titanium.
