Sintered Metal Mesh Filter Disc Plates

Sintered metal mesh filter disc plates are disc-shaped filter elements made of sintered wire mesh screen and support plate or frame. Sintered mesh filter discs can be disc assembly or monolithic. Sintered wire mesh can be welded together with frame plate section. Then the sections are assembled into a disc assembly with bolts. Whereas in monolithic, sintered wire mesh is either welded or sintered together with the entire disc support plate frame and then welded with flanges into a disc assembly.

Sintered mesh filter discs for agitated nutsche filter/dryers

Sintered metal mesh filter disc plates are mainly used in agitated filter/dryers as bottom filter screens. The disc plate captures solids and forms a filter cake while liquid passes through and flows out. In other applications, the filter disc can be used as an air diffuser. Air flows through the sintered mesh, drying or pushing the solids on the disc.

We offer services for a wide range of sintered mesh nutsche filter disc plates.

Sintered mesh filter discs for chromatography columns

Another important application of sintered metal mesh disc plates is large chromatography columns. There are two sintered mesh sheets at the top and bottom of the column, one for distribution and the other for supporting the bed and filtering. Some chromatography column suppliers also refer to sintered mesh discs as chromatography frits.

Sintered Mesh Filter Discs for Explosion and Fire Protection

Sintered mesh filter disc plates are good filter elements for protecting equipment like detectors, instruments, sensors from not only harmful particles, but also explosions and flames. The multi-layer porous structure blocks particles, disperses flames and absorbs energy. The sintered mesh only lets cool and clean air/gas pass through the filter disc. In order to precisely control the diameter of the diameter, we use laser or EDM cutting to cut the filter disc from the sintered wire mesh sheet.

Sintered Mesh Filter Disc Plates for Extractors

Sintered mesh filter discs are the filter media for the removal of particulates and absorbents during extraction filtration. The filter disc plate can be a bare sintered mesh, or a sintered mesh (spool-shaped filter) welded with double-triple clamp fittings. Typical micron ratings are 1 micron, 5 micron, and 10 micron.

Customization of Sintered Metal Mesh Filter Disc Plates

Our micron rating options: 0.5 1 2 5 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 100 150 200 μm. Others on request.

Disc diameters up to 1150 mm for one-piece discs without welds and up to 3000 mm for disc assemblies.

316L (1.4404) stainless steel is the preferred material for filter discs. Hastelloy C276, Hastelloy C22 are the best choices for the most challenging corrosive working environments. Other exotic materials are also available on request, such as 310S, 904L, Monel 400, Inconel 625, etc.
