What are Wire Mesh Filters?
Wire Mesh Filters are filtration components manufactured using woven or welded wire mesh to separate solid particles from liquids or gases. They are designed to provide reliable filtration, controlled flow, and long service life across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Wire mesh filters can be produced using GI or Stainless Steel materials and are available in standard as well as fully customized configurations to suit specific operating conditions.
Manufacturing Process of Wire Mesh Filters
Wire mesh filters are manufactured through a combination of precision weaving and controlled fabrication processes. Based on the filtration requirement, the mesh may be used in single or multiple layers and formed into the required shape.
The process typically includes:
- Selection of mesh type and micron rating
- Cutting and shaping of wire mesh
- Layering or bonding of multiple mesh sheets
- Welding, crimping, or framing as required
- Final inspection for dimensional and filtration accuracy
Materials Used in Wire Mesh Filters
Wire mesh filters can be manufactured using:
- Stainless Steel (SS 304, SS 316, etc.) for corrosion-resistant and hygienic applications
- GI (Galvanized Iron) for cost-effective and general-purpose filtration
Material selection depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, chemical exposure, and service life requirements.
Key Features of Wire Mesh Filters
- Accurate and consistent filtration performance
- Uniform mesh opening and controlled flow rate
- High mechanical strength and durability
- Resistance to corrosion, heat, and pressure
- Reusable and easy to clean (depending on application)
- Long operational life with minimal maintenance
Available Configurations
Wire mesh filters can be supplied in various forms, including:
- Disc filters
