Types Stainless Steel Element Filters

There are many types of stainless steel element filter, and We have divided the design into the following types

according to the product form, hoping to help you choose.

1. Stainless Steel Mesh Filter:

   Stainless steel mesh filters are made of woven or knitted stainless steel wire mesh. They feature a uniform structure with precise openings, allowing for efficient filtration. The mesh size can vary, offering flexibility in selecting the appropriate filter for specific particle retention requirements. Stainless steel mesh filters are widely used for liquid filtration applications where high mechanical strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion are crucial.

2. Stainless Steel Perforated Filter:

    Stainless steel perforated filters are fabricated using stainless steel sheets with evenly spaced holes or perforations. These filters offer excellent strength, rigidity, and durability. The perforations can be customized in terms of diameter, shape, and spacing to meet specific filtration needs. Stainless steel perforated filters are commonly used for applications requiring filtration of larger particles or where higher flow rates are desired.

3. Stainless Steel Sintered Filter:

    Stainless steel sintered filters are manufactured by sintering multiple layers of stainless steel powder particles. This process creates a porous structure with controlled pore sizes and a high degree of filtration efficiency. Sintered filters can achieve fine filtration while maintaining structural integrity and resistance to high temperatures and corrosive environments. These filters are suitable for critical applications where fine particle removal and long service life are required.

4. Stainless Steel Pleated Filter:

    Stainless steel pleated filters consist of stainless steel mesh or perforated sheets pleated into a compact design. The pleating increases the filter's surface area, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop. These filters effectively capture particles of various sizes while maintaining a high flow rate. Stainless steel pleated filters are commonly used in applications requiring efficient filtration in limited space or where frequent filter replacement is not desirable.

5. Stainless Steel Candle Filter:

    Stainless steel candle filters are cylindrical filters resembling candles. They consist of a perforated stainless steel tube wrapped with a stainless steel mesh or filter media. The design allows fluid to flow from the outside to the inside, capturing contaminants on the filter surface. Candle filters provide excellent filtration efficiency, structural integrity, and durability. They are commonly used in applications where continuous filtration, high flow rates, and removal of solid particles are essential.

These are just a few examples of stainless steel element filters commonly used in various industrial applications. Each type offers unique characteristics and advantages, catering to specific filtration requirements.

 

 

Why Use Sintered Stainless Steel Filter Elements ?

Just because some special features of sintered stainless steel filter elements, so more and more people

start to choose, please check as following:

Sintered stainless steel filter elements offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice in various filtration applications.

Here are some reasons why sintered stainless steel filter elements are used:

 

1. Fine Filtration Efficiency:

   Sintered stainless steel filter elements have a controlled pore structure with precise pore sizes. This allows for effective filtration of fine particles and contaminants, even down to submicron levels. The uniformity of the pores ensures consistent filtration performance, resulting in cleaner and purer fluids or gases.

2. High Temperature Resistance:

   Stainless steel is known for its excellent heat resistance, and sintered stainless steel filter elements inherit this property. They can withstand high operating temperatures, making them suitable for applications involving hot fluids or gases. The sintering process enhances the structural integrity of the stainless steel, enabling the filters to maintain their filtration efficiency even under elevated temperatures.

3. Corrosion Resistance:

   Stainless steel is inherently resistant to corrosion, and sintered stainless steel filter elements benefit from this property. They can withstand corrosive environments, including exposure to chemicals or aggressive fluids. This corrosion resistance ensures the longevity and reliability of the filters, making them suitable for demanding industrial conditions.

4. Mechanical Strength and Durability:

   Sintered stainless steel filter elements possess high mechanical strength due to the sintering process. They can withstand high differential pressures without deformation or failure. The durable nature of stainless steel ensures that the filter elements maintain their filtration performance over an extended period, reducing the frequency of filter replacements and minimizing downtime.

5. Cleanability and Reusability:

    Sintered stainless steel filter elements are easily cleaned and regenerated, making them cost-effective in the long run. They can be backflushed, ultrasonically cleaned, or chemically cleaned to remove accumulated contaminants and restore their filtration efficiency. The ability to reuse the filters reduces waste and operational costs associated with frequent filter replacements.

6. Compatibility with Various Fluids and Gases:

 

   Sintered stainless steel filter elements exhibit broad compatibility with a wide range of fluids and gases. They are suitable for filtering liquids such as water, oils, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as gases like air, natural gas, and compressed air. This versatility allows the filter elements to be employed in diverse industrial applications.

Overall, sintered stainless steel filter elements provide fine filtration, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, durability, cleanability, and compatibility with different fluids and gases. These qualities make them a reliable choice for critical filtration needs in industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food and beverage, oil and gas, and water treatment.

 

 

Why Use 316L stainless steel sintered porous metal filter element ? 

The use of 316L stainless steel sintered porous metal filter elements offers several advantages in specific filtration applications.

Here are some reasons why 316L stainless steel sintered porous metal filter elements are preferred:

1. Corrosion Resistance: 

   316L stainless steel is an alloy that contains molybdenum, which enhances its corrosion resistance compared to standard 316 stainless steel. This makes it highly resistant to corrosive environments, including exposure to chemicals, acids, and salts. Therefore, 316L stainless steel sintered porous metal filter elements are suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is critical.

 

2. High Temperature Resistance: 

    316L stainless steel exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance. It can withstand elevated temperatures without significant degradation, making it suitable for applications involving hot fluids or gases. The sintering process used to manufacture the filter elements further enhances their ability to withstand high temperatures.

 

3. Fine Filtration Efficiency: 

   The sintered porous metal structure of 316L stainless steel filter elements allows for fine filtration. The controlled pore size distribution ensures effective removal of particles and contaminants, including those with submicron sizes. This high filtration efficiency makes them suitable for applications requiring precise filtration and removal of small particles.

 

4. Strength and Durability: 

    316L stainless steel possesses high mechanical strength and durability, which translates into robust filter elements. They can withstand high differential pressures and mechanical stress without deformation or failure.

How About the Sintered Wire Mesh ?  

 

The sintered wire mesh is made into a multilayer woven wire mesh panel using a sintering process. This process combines heat and pressure to permanently bond the multilayer webs together. The same physical process of fusing individual wires together within a mesh layer can also be used to fuse adjacent mesh layers together. This creates a unique material with excellent mechanical properties. It is the ideal material for purification and filtration. It can be 5, 6 or 7 layers of sintered wire mesh.
