Introduction To Metal Filters
Metal filters are used primarily in commercial and industrial/OEM applications. In some applications the goal is to protect downstream components from particulate matter. In other cases, a metal filter can be used to separate, or screen one substance from another. Whether your specific application calls for removing unwanted contaminants from fluid or air, protecting expensive process equipment, or simply separating one material from another.
Metal filters are excellent for use in applications that will include continuous exposure to liquid or moisture, or where paper filters do not offer sufficient rigidity or strength. In addition to outstanding durability, there are other inherent design benefits available with metallic filters. Metal filters can withstand extremely high differential pressures. Depending upon metals used, your filter can be designed as compatible with most caustic fluids. Stainless steel filters, for example, offer a high degree of resistance to corrosion in caustic environments. Best of all, metal filters are inherently cleanable and reusable. Reusable metal filters offer superior service life when compared to paper and cloth filters, and are commonly used in metal cutting, engine and compressor oil, and waste water applications.
