Ideal for polymer filtration in fibers, films, and resins, these elements are widely used in the chemical fiber, textile, and plastic industries. JD Hardware Wire Mesh Co., Ltd has developed a versatile range to meet diverse needs in filtration, separation, and purification.

Committed to delivering quality solutions that boost productivity and efficiency, our Polymer Filter Elements embody durability, performance, and adaptability for modern industrial demands.

Main Types

For polymer melt filtration, customers typically choose from two main types of pleated metal filter elements:

• Woven Mesh Type: This type features both outer protective layers and inner filter layers made entirely of woven mesh, ensuring consistent filtration quality.
• Mixed Media Type: This variant combines an outer layer of woven mesh with a middle filter layer of stainless steel fiber felt, which improves filtration efficiency and durability.

Polymer Filter Elements: Comparing two types of filter layers:

• Woven Mesh Filter Layer:
  Filter Media: Utilizes structured, interlaced wire mesh for hard particulates.
  Filter Micron: Provides precise ratings from 5 to 400 microns, usually lower due to a tight weave.
  Dirt Holding Capacity: Generally lower than fiber filters, constrained by mesh openness.
  Permeability: High, owing to consistent and uniform mesh openings.
  Work Differential Pressure: Capable of withstanding high differential pressures.
  Work Temperature: Suitable for a broad temperature range, metal-dependent.
  Repeat Cleaning: Highly durable, suitable for repeated cleaning and reuse.
  Corrosion Resistance: Varies with material; stainless steel, for instance, offers excellent resistance.
• Filter Fiber Filter Layer:
  Filter Media: Made of tangled and interlocked fibers for trapping hard particles and deformable gels.
  Filter Micron: Offers variable ratings, generally 1-100 microns, higher due to fiber arrangement.
  Dirt Holding Capacity: Higher as fibers can trap and retain more particles.
  Permeability: Lower than woven mesh, influenced by fiber density.
  Work Differential Pressure: Typically lower than that of woven mesh.
  Work Temperature: Dependent on fiber material, possibly lower than metal mesh.
  Repeat Cleaning: Less suited for repeated cleaning in comparison to mesh.
  Corrosion Resistance: Varies according to fiber material, might be less than metal.
