Pleated Filter Element

Pleat filter element also named stainless steel pleated filter element made of pleated stainless steel sintered fiber web and stainless steel weaving wire cloth.

Stainless steel sintered fiber felt made of stainless steel fiber by sintering in high temperature into a graded pore structure. It features high precision filtration which takes advantages of high porosity, high dirty capacity, high regeneration capacity, etc. It can be also used after chemical cleaning.

Stainless steel woven wire cloth is made of stainless steel wire using different woven ways. It features different filtration rate due to its different mesh opening and diameter. As the filter medium, it has the advantages of good strength, heat-resistance, smooth wire pore, easily washable, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

Advantages of stainless steel pleated filter elements:

High dirt holding capacity;

High reliable standard specifications;

Low pressure drop due to high porosity; 

Accurate filtration rating.

Filtration rating available (micron) : 3,5,7,10,15,20,25,30,40,60. 

Any outline size available according to customer's requirement.

CHARACTERISTIC OF PLEATED FILTER

1. Fold structure, large filtration area

2. Low resistance and low-pressure difference

3. strong pollution capacity

4. High-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance

5. Easy to clean and can be used repeatedly(Chemical cleaning, high temperature, and ultrasonic cleaning)

6. Stainless steel structure, strong structure

7. No material falls off phenomenon

In addition to these excellent characteristics, compared with other materials, stainless steel filter element will not produce harmful substances at high temperature.

PLEATED FILTER VS SINTERED FILTER VS WEDGE WIRE FILTER

Common ground

They are all metal filter elements, have many similarities.

1. Sturdy structure

2. High-temperature resistance

3. Corrosion resistance

4. Pressure resistance

5. Easy to clean and can be used repeatedly.

Difference

Because of their differences in structure and processing technology, they all have their own advantages.

Pleated filter element

Advantage：Folded structure, compared with the other two kinds of the filter cartridge, it has a larger filter area, so his ability to receive pollution is the strongest.

Shortcoming: Filtration accuracy is not as stable as the sintered filter, Although it can be cleaned, it is not as easy to clean as the other two filters.

Sintered filter element

Advantage：Stable filtration accuracy.The compressive strength is stronger than the pleated filter, can withstand the pressure of 0.3-0.7Mpa.Metal powder sintered filter has better ability to capture fine particles.

Shortcoming: Small filtration area.

Wedge wire filter element

Advantage：V type wire, not easy to clog.

The easiest to clean

Shortcoming: Small filtration area

 The highest accuracy of filtration can only be up to 20 microns.

We should choose the right filter element according to the use environment.
