Steellong Wire Cloth Corporation offers custom wire mesh filters and strainers that are either constructed or reinforced with perforated plate, woven wire mesh, expanded metal,etc.

Woven wire media are generally available in a variety of weaves. Each has slightly varying retention characteristics even at the same rating. For example, the opening in a square weave is as the name implies. However, the opening in twilled weave can be more triangular in shape. This will have some effect on retention but the effect will be, for the most part, unmeasurable. When selecting woven wire media manufacturers experience will assist in determining the weave that displays the best strength, solids release and flow characteristics for each retention rating.

Woven wire generally has the best all around performance for most applications. Wire mesh screens have a high percentage of open area for high flows and extended runtimes. The strength of wire mesh and its resistance to abrasion make it economical over the life of the screen. For most forms of solids to be removed, the wire mesh screens have good release characteristics to make cleaning easy. Coarse wire mesh screens are dimensionally stable but some fine screens which are woven with very small diameter wire are prone to stretch and flex. Normal operation with low pressure drop will not usually be detrimental to these fine mesh screens. Underlayment, overlayment and wire winding are often used to protect these screens.

Finer retentions are tend to be extremely fragile. However, for applications in this retention range that require metallic screens because of temperature or chemical compatibility, special laminated screens or other types of cleanable media are available.

Metal filters are used primarily in commercial and industrial/OEM applications. In some applications the goal is to protect downstream components from particulate matter. In other cases, a metal filter can be used to separate, or screen one substance from another. Whether your specific application calls for removing unwanted contaminants from fluid or air, protecting expensive process equipment, or simply separating one material from another, Steellong can manufacture a custom metal filter designed for your exact specifications from wire cloth, perforated metal, or expanded metal. Why compromise performance with a stock solution when a custom fabricated metal filter can deliver the perfect size dimensions and performance characteristics desired?

Advantages of metal filters
Metal filters are excellent for use in applications that will include continuous exposure to liquid or moisture, or where paper filters do not offer sufficient rigidity or strength. In addition to outstanding durability, there are other inherent design benefits available with metallic filters. Metal filters can be fabricated by welding and crimping, eliminating the need for adhesives or epoxy bonding. Unlike paper filters, metallic filters can withstand temperature range in excess of 500 ° F. and can withstand extremely high differential pressures. Depending upon metals used, your filter can be designed as compatible with most caustic fluids. Stainless steel filters, for example, offer a high degree of resistance to corrosion in caustic environments.  Best of all, metal filters are inherently cleanable and reusable.  Reusable metal filters offer superior service life when compared to paper and cloth filters, and are commonly used in metal cutting, engine and compressor oil, and waste water applications.
