Sintered Metal Fiber Felt Filter Cartridges
Sintered metal fiber felt filter cartridges are made of random metal fiber felt, cylindrical or pleated. Cylindrical sintered metal fiber cartridges are butt-jointed or joint-welded in the connection area. Cylindrical sintered metal fiber felt is usually metal fiber felt with wire mesh on one or both sides.

Pleated sintered metal fiber felt filter element
For pleated sintered metal fiber cartridges, the metal fiber felt is usually wrapped with square woven mesh on both sides to protect the felt. On the outside of the pleats, there may be a perforated metal sleeve to protect the pleats, or it may be bare if there is no backwash or back pressure working conditions.

Outstanding features of sintered metal fiber felt filter cartridges:
- Extremely high porosity (up to 80%)
- Multi-layer 3D structure
- Deep filtration performance
- Excellent temperature resistance (FeCrAl fiber above 1000℃)
- Higher strength and no ESD compared to glass fiber and other non-metallic filter media

sintered metal fiber felt – random laid metal fiber
Sintered metal fiber felt filter cartridges achieve high flow rates while maintaining excellent dirt holding capacity. Due to their porous structure, they are easily cleaned by backwashing.
The standard material for sintered metal fiber is 316L stainless steel. However, on request, highly corrosion-resistant Hastelloy sintered metal fibers and high-temperature resistant Inconel, FeCrAl sintered metal fiber meshes are also available.
Sintered metal fiber felt with protective mesh for more severe working conditions
The protective mesh can be sintered together with the ordinary sintered metal fiber felt to provide additional support and higher strength. The protective mesh can provide support at the bottom or support and protection for cylindrical filter elements on both sides.

Typical applications of sintered metal fiber felt filter cartridges:
- Replacement of glass fiber filters for oil and fuel filtration
- Polymer melt filters and other high viscosity fluid filtration
- High temperature gas/air dust removal or steam filtration
Sintered Metal Fiber Felt Filter Cartridges and top quality sintered metal fiber felt made in China are available on request.
FAQ's
There are many ways to keep you going. Maintenance is crucial for industrial water filters to achieve sufficient filtration and long-term use. To avoid being shut down, you must clean and replace your filter element according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Plan to regularly inspect the internal screen components.
- Arrange regular inspections of electronic control systems.
- Arrange to regularly add lubricating grease to bolts and sealing components.
- Regularly inspect the filter housing for paint peeling off..
Many industrial water filters need to be replaced within 18 months. Usually depends on the degree of pollution and frequency of use. Therefore, these factors will determine the service life of commercial water filters.
