Products
Woven wire mesh, sintered fiber felt and sintered wire mesh, formed into the cylinder, pleat, disc or sheet your housing takes. Every element is welded and batch-tested in our own plant, and a replacement comes in 30–40% below the brand element it replaces.
The Range
Which medium an element needs is a decision about the duty, not a preference. The table under each family is the short version; the section drawing shows what the wall of the element is made of.
Sintered fiber felt
The finest medium we build with. Holds more contaminant than a woven mesh of the same rating, and can be washed and re-used instead of discarded.
| Filtration rating | 0.5 – 50 μm |
|---|---|
| Form we build | Pleated cartridge · cylinder · disc |
Sintered wire mesh
Multi-layer mesh rolled and welded into a rigid element whose pore size holds through backwash and pulse-jet duty.
| Filtration rating | 2 – 200 μm |
|---|---|
| Form we build | Cylinder · cone · disc · sheet |
Woven wire mesh
Plain mesh off our own looms, formed into cylinders, discs and sheets — and used as the support layers inside the two above.
| Filtration rating | Set by the weave — quoted per duty |
|---|---|
| Form we build | Cylinder · disc · sheet · framed panel |
Sintered fiber felt
Metal fiber felt is the finest medium we build with. The fiber mat holds more contaminant before the differential pressure climbs than a woven mesh of the same rating, and it can be washed and put back into service instead of being thrown away.
| Filtration rating | 0.5 – 50 μm |
|---|---|
| Media | Sintered metal fiber felt |
| Maximum service temperature | up to ≤600 °C |
| Alloys | 304 · 316L · titanium · nickel alloys |
| Form we build | Pleated cartridge · cylinder · disc |
| Made in our plant | Forming, welding and batch testing |
Where the contaminant is small and the element has to hold a great deal of it before the pressure drop becomes the limit.
A felt element is washable and re-generable, which suits lines that clean elements on a schedule rather than discarding them.
The fiber structure holds to 600 °C, above the point where polymer and paper media are no longer an option.
Sintered wire mesh
Multi-layer sintered mesh is rolled and welded into a rigid element whose pore size stays put. The woven layers come off our own looms, which is what lets us set the layer count and the weave instead of buying a finished cartridge.
| Filtration rating | 2 – 200 μm |
|---|---|
| Media | Multi-layer sintered wire mesh |
| Maximum service temperature | up to ≤600 °C |
| Alloys | 304 · 316L · titanium · nickel alloys |
| Form we build | Cylinder · cone · disc · sheet |
| Made in our plant | Mesh woven on our own looms, then forming, welding and batch testing |
A rigid element holds its shape through repeated cleaning cycles instead of collapsing or losing its rating.
The support layers carry the mechanical load, so the rated mesh keeps its pore size in service.
Where a 2–200 μm rating is enough and mechanical strength counts for more than dirt-holding capacity.
Woven wire mesh
Plain woven mesh, woven on our own looms and formed into the shape your housing needs. On its own it covers the coarser duties; inside our sintered elements the same mesh is the protection and the support layer.
| Filtration rating | Set by the weave — quoted per duty |
|---|---|
| Media | Woven metal wire mesh, woven in house |
| Maximum service temperature | up to ≤600 °C |
| Alloys | 304 · 316L |
| Form we build | Cylinder · disc · sheet · framed panel |
| Made in our plant | Weaving, forming, welding and batch testing |
Where the contaminant is large enough that a woven opening is the right rating and a fiber mat would be over-specified.
The same mesh sits over the felt and under the rated layer inside our sintered elements.
Discs, sheets and framed panels for stacked or face-seal housings.
Forms
The same medium can be formed into different shapes: rolling, pleating, discing, flanging and the welding route are all decided by the geometry in your drawing.
Cones, flanged cartridges and multi-element assemblies are built to drawing as well. Where a duty needs a form we cannot make, we say so during the review rather than after the order.
Media Compared
The published figures, side by side. Plain woven mesh has no catalogue micron range — the weave sets the opening, so it is quoted against your duty.
| Parameter | Sintered fiber felt | Sintered wire mesh | Woven wire mesh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filtration rating | 0.5 – 50 μm | 2 – 200 μm | Set by the weave |
| Maximum service temperature | up to ≤600 °C | up to ≤600 °C | up to ≤600 °C |
| Alloys | 304 · 316L · Ti · Ni alloys | 304 · 316L · Ti · Ni alloys | 304 · 316L |
| Structure | Fiber felt between a protective mesh and support layers | Fine rated mesh between a protective layer and rigid support layers | Plain weave, single or multi-layer |
| Form | Pleated · cylindrical · disc | Cylinder · cone · disc · sheet | Cylinder · disc · sheet |
| Media source | Sintered felt bought to our specification | Multi-layer mesh bought to our specification, woven layers from our own looms | Woven on our own looms |
| Best suited to | Fine rating with the highest dirt holding | Rigid duty: backwash, pulse-jet, high ΔP | Coarser rating, and the support layers of the two beside it |
Ordering
Whichever one you are in, an engineer reads it before a price is given. Nothing is quoted from a part number alone.
About 70% of our orders arrive this way. Send the drawing, the OEM number or a used element and we confirm the equivalent from dimensions, media and connection type before anything is quoted.
About 30% of our work starts with no drawing at all. Temperature, medium, pressure and flow are enough for our engineers to select the media and issue a drawing for your approval.
Elements built to a builder’s own drawing and part numbering, from a first sample through to repeat production batches.
| Drawing review | 3–5 working days |
|---|---|
| Sample lead time | 20–30 days |
| Sample quantity | A few pieces |
| Sample charge | New customers charged · existing free |
| Production lead time | 30–60 days |
| MOQ | A few pieces to a few dozen |
| Payment terms | T/T — deposit, balance against B/L |
| First order cycle | 1–3 months from first contact |
A part number, a drawing or a used element is the fastest route to a quote. If you only have the process — temperature, medium, pressure, flow — our engineers select the medium and issue a drawing for approval before anything is sampled.
Replacement elements cost 30–40% less than the brand they replace · Drawing review 3–5 working days · Samples ship in 20–30 days
