Sinft metal felt filter media is made with thin filaments of nonwoven stainless steel. These porous metal felt filter elements are ideal for high pressure, highly corrosive, highly viscous or radioactive applications. They feature extremely high porosity (up to 85%), high flow rates (up to 20 times higher than other media types), and very long life.
Applications for Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements:
The filter has been widely used in transformer oil, hydraulic oil, aviation kerosene, petroleum, chemical, power plant, cost carbon, mining, pharmaceutical, food and engineering industries.
Advantages for Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements：
Random fiber filtration Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements can provide absolute particle retention, longer on stream time and high dirt-holding capacity for under 60 micron filter elements. Although more expensive, it offers clear advantages over wire cloth, sintered metal or non-metallic fibers. Its high temperature, high pressure and corrosion resistance combined with almost gunmetal felt filter elements have a random matrix of 316-L stainless steel filaments with diameters from 4 to 25 microns. The finer the micron, the more open area is provided in a pure crosshatch pattern.
Features for Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements：
-- Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements Extremely high porosity (up to 85%)
-- high flow rates: up to 20 times higher than other media types
-- long on-stream lifetime
-- downscaling is possible (less filter surface is needed to filter the same volume)
-- Low pressure drop: The high porosity of our metal fiber media allows a very low pressure drop (and thus lower energy cost), even at high filtration velocities
-- Ease of cleaning: The open structure of porous metal media allows you to clean in situ by back pulsing or backwashing
-- High strength: The sintering process creates strong fiber bonds and guarantees a high strength filter medium. Combined with an appropriate inner core, our filter elements can withstand thermal shock, high pressures, and frequent back pulsating.
-- Heat & corrosion resistance: Our filter media can be used in high temperature (up to 1000° C, depending on the alloy) and/or corrosive applications - where non-metallic textile, ceramic or polymer products fail
