Filter and Strainer Types

Cylindrical Filters: These filters are designed with a cylindrical shape, offering a classic and efficient design for a variety of filtration applications. Their straightforward structure makes them suitable for numerous industrial uses.

Pleat Cylindrical Filters: Enhancing the surface area and filtration capacity, Pleat Cylindrical Filters are cylindrical filters with pleated designs. This structure allows for higher efficiency in trapping particulates while maintaining optimal flow rates.

Cone Shaped Filters: Cone Shaped Filters are tailored for applications requiring directed flow or pressure. Their tapered design facilitates efficient filtration with an easy flow path, making them ideal for various specialized processes.

Truncated Cone Filters: Similar to Cone Shaped Filters, but with a truncated top, these filters offer a unique balance between the directed flow of cone filters and the compactness of flatter designs. They are well-suited for applications needing efficient space usage.

Formed Mesh Parts: These are custom-shaped mesh components designed to fit specific applications. Formed Mesh Parts can take various forms, adapting to unique spatial and filtration requirements of different systems.

Square Filters: Square Filters provide a simple yet effective design, particularly useful in systems where space and shape conformity are critical. They are versatile and can be easily integrated into a wide range of industrial setups.

Flat Pleated Parts: Flat Pleated Parts are designed to maximize surface area in a compact design. The pleats increase the filtration area, making these parts highly efficient for their size. They are ideal for applications where space is limited but high filtration efficiency is required.

End Closure Types

Inverted Bottom
The Inverted Bottom closure type, available in both mesh and solid forms, offers a unique design where the bottom of the filter is reversed inward. This design is particularly effective in applications where enhanced collection or support is needed at the filter’s base.

Flush Bottom
Flush Bottom closures, also offered in mesh or solid options, provide a seamless end finish. This type is ideal for applications requiring a smooth transition from the filter body to the end, ensuring uninterrupted flow and easy integration into systems.

Bag Folded End
The Bag Folded End is a versatile closure type characterized by a bag-like fold at the end. This design is suitable for applications requiring a soft and adaptable end closure that can conform to various spaces or connect with other components.

Pinched End
Pinched End closures are created by tightly sealing the end of the filter, offering a secure and compact finish. This type is particularly useful in applications where a firm closure is necessary to prevent bypass or leakage.

Crease and Pinched End
Combining a crease with a pinched finish, this end closure type provides both structural integrity and a tight seal. It’s effective in applications where both the strength of a crease and the security of a pinch are needed.

Fishtail Pinched End
The Fishtail Pinched End features a distinctive design resembling a fishtail, achieved by pinching the end in a specific pattern. This closure type is not only visually unique but also functional for certain specialized filtration applications.

Advantages

• Enhanced Durability for Rigorous Applications:
  Metal filters are exceptionally suitable for continuous exposure to liquids, moisture, and environments where paper filters lack sufficient rigidity or strength. Their robust construction ensures long-term durability in challenging conditions.
• Inherent Design Benefits:
  Metal filters offer several inherent design advantages. They can be fabricated using welding and crimping techniques, eliminating the need for adhesives or epoxy bonding, which enhances their structural integrity and reliability.
• High-Temperature and Pressure Resistance:
  Unlike paper filters, metallic filters are capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 500° F and can endure extremely high differential pressures. This makes them ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
• Compatibility with Caustic Fluids:
  Depending on the metal used, these filters are compatible with most caustic fluids. Stainless steel filters, in particular, offer high resistance to corrosion in caustic environments, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
• Cleanable and Reusable:
  Metal filters are inherently cleanable and reusable, offering superior service life compared to paper and cloth filters. This reusability not only makes them cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.

Applications

• High-Temperature Applications: Our metal filters are specifically designed to perform reliably in high-temperature settings. They maintain structural integrity and functionality even under extreme heat, making them ideal for industries where elevated temperatures are a norm.
• High-Pressure Filtration: Engineered to withstand high-pressure conditions, these filters are perfect for applications where standard filters might fail. Their robust construction ensures consistent performance under intense pressure.
• Use in Highly Corrosive Environments: Crafted to resist corrosion, our metal filters excel in environments exposed to corrosive substances. This makes them suitable for industries dealing with harsh chemicals where other filter materials might degrade.
• Erosion-Resistant Requirements: The durability of our metal filters makes them resistant to erosion, ensuring longevity and reliability in environments where abrasive materials are present or where erosion is a potential concern.
• Reusable Filter Scenarios: In scenarios requiring cleaning and reuse of filters, our metal filters offer an economical and environmentally friendly solution. Their design allows for easy cleaning and multiple usages, reducing waste and ongoing replacement costs.
