Filter Mesh

A filter mesh or filter screen is a screen used to filter solid particles, impurities or pollutants, usually made of metal or synthetic materials (such as stainless steel, nylon, polypropylene, etc.). The main function of a filter mesh is to filter out larger particles or pollutants in liquids, gases or solids by physical filtration, thereby improving the purity of the fluid or ensuring the normal operation of process equipment.


Filter meshes have different pore sizes and materials, which can meet different filtering precision and application requirements, and are widely used in water treatment, oil and gas separation, chemical industry, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and other industries.

Main Features

Diverse materials:

Stainless steel filter mesh: Due to its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, it is widely used in chemical, petroleum, food and other fields.

Synthetic materials such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene: Suitable for lighter occasions with low corrosion resistance requirements, commonly used in water treatment, air filtration, etc.

Metal materials such as copper and aluminum alloys: Commonly used in specific chemical and industrial applications, with strong mechanical strength and good thermal conductivity.

Fine aperture design: The aperture of the filter mesh can be divided into various specifications according to needs, ranging from a few microns to a few millimeters, which can effectively select the appropriate filtration accuracy according to the size of the particles in the fluid.

High strength and durability: The filter mesh has high strength and durability, and can withstand certain pressure, mechanical vibration, stretching and corrosion, so it can work stably for a long time.

Anti-clogging: The design of the filter mesh usually has good anti-clogging, especially the metal mesh, whose gap structure can prevent most particles from clogging and adapt to long-term filtration.

Washability: Many filter meshes (especially metal meshes) can be washed and reused, which is particularly suitable for high-precision filtration and industrial occasions that need to be repeatedly used.

 

Application

Liquid and gas filtration: Filter meshes are widely used for preliminary or fine filtration of liquids and gases. For example, in industrial water treatment processes, they can be used to remove suspended matter, impurities and particles in water; in air purification systems, they are used to capture dust, pollen, etc.

Oil and gas industry:

In the separation process of oil and gas, filter mesh is often used to remove solid impurities in oil-water separation and gas-liquid separation, protecting pipeline systems and equipment from damage.

Food and beverage industry:

In the process of food processing, filter mesh is used to separate impurities in raw materials to ensure the quality of products. For example, in the refining process of edible oil, it is used to remove impurities, pigments and other particles in oil.

Chemical industry:

In the reactor and solution filtration processes in chemical production, filter mesh is used to separate solid particles to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction.

Pharmaceutical industry:

In the pharmaceutical process, filter mesh is used to separate and purify drug ingredients to ensure the purity and quality of drugs.

Cooling system and heat exchange equipment:

In industrial cooling towers and heat exchange equipment, filter mesh is often used to separate impurities and microorganisms in water to ensure the efficient operation of equipment.

Agriculture and horticulture:

Used for water irrigation filtration, removing sand, dirt or impurities in water sources, and ensuring the smooth flow of irrigation systems.

RELATED FAQ
What is Wedge Wire Screen Tube?

The wedge wire filter element is a filter element composed of a "V" shaped stainless steel wire and a stainless steel support strip. Its smooth surface is the filter surface, and the gap is a strip, which belongs to the surface filtration form.

What are the primary applications of wedge wire Screen Tube?

Wedge wire filter elements are widely used in many fields, mainly including petrochemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water treatment.

What is the difference between wedge wire filter elements and other wire mesh filter elements?

The wedge-shaped wire filter element has a higher filtration efficiency and can achieve extremely high filtration effects by controlling the particle gaps of the wedge-shaped mesh.


The wedge-shaped wire filter element is suitable for high-flow and high-pressure industrial filtration occasions, especially for industrial water, drinking water purification, sand separation and treatment, sewage treatment and other fields.

What is the material of wedge wire?

The main material of wedge wire is stainless steel. Specifically, wedge wire is usually made of high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 302, 304, 304L, 316L, etc.

Where are wedge wire screen tube used?

Industries include water treatment, oil and gas, pulp and paper, mining, and food and beverage.

What is the expected lifespan of wedge wire screen tube?

With proper maintenance, wedge wire screens can have a long lifespan, often exceeding 10 years.

What is a perforated metal anti-skid plate?

A perforated metal anti-skid plate is a type of metal plate that combines a perforated design with anti-slip or anti-skid features. 

Where are perforated metal anti-skid plates used?

Industrial Flooring:

Used in factories, warehouses, and production lines as flooring or walkways to provide a non-slip surface for workers.

Staircases and Platforms:

Used for stairs, ladders, and elevated platforms to provide safe access and reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Vehicle and Transport Decks:

Commonly used in trucks, trailers, or shipping containers to create a stable, non-slip surface for cargo handling.

Outdoor and Marine Applications:

Used in outdoor environments such as docks, walkways, and industrial outdoor installations where water or mud can create slippery conditions.

What are the common types of perforated metal sheets?

Perforated Sheet with Raised Patterns: Features raised sections in the perforated pattern for enhanced anti-slip properties.

Serrated Metal Plate: Uses serrated edges or a textured surface in combination with perforations to improve skid resistance.

What is the material of perforated metal sheet?

▪Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion and durable, ideal for harsh environments like marine, chemical, or food processing industries.

▪Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, commonly used in transportation, aerospace, and exterior architectural applications.

▪Carbon Steel: Strong and cost-effective, often used in industrial and construction settings.
