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.

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.

Metal filters are designed from three basic materials: wire cloth, expanded metal and perforated metal. Each material has its own flow rates and individual characteristics making it a “best fit” for particular engineering requirements. For example, perforated metals can be selected with round holes, square holes, or any other shape required based on size and or shape of the particulate that needs to be strained or filtered. Expanded metal filters and perforated metal filters offer superior rigidity and durability to wire cloth filters. For filters that require intricate bends and pleats to achieve proper performance characteristics, and where durability is less of a concern, wire cloth filters in mesh ranges from 2 x 2 to 5 micron mesh are the clear choice.

Wire cloth filters, expanded metal filters, and perforated metal filters can be designed and manufactured using the a wide range of materials:

• Aluminum Filters
• Brass Filters
• Bronze Filters
• Carbon Steel Filters
• Copper Filters
• Galvanized Steel Filters
• Monel Filters
• Stainless Steel Filters
• Stainless Steel 304 Filters
• Stainless Steel 316 Filters

In some applications, filter design requires a mix of materials for support or to develop a protective underlying or outer structure of expanded or perforated metal or a coarser mesh that guards delicate pleated interior components.

Stainless steel filters and strainers offer a high degree of corrosion resistance.  Many of the process industries that use metal filters and strainers introduce moisture or caustic fluids to the filtering element.  For these reasons, stainless steel is a natural choice.  Thanks to advances in welding technology, many of the filters and strainers that were historically made from Monel are now constructed with cost effective, long lasting stainless steel.  Roughly 90 percent of the metal filters and strainers manufactured by Yankee are constructed with stainless steel for these reasons.

Material selection is determined primarily by application.  High heat and caustic or corrosive environments often require the use of stainless steel filters and strainers.  Stainless steel filters are common in chemical, food, marine, and pharmaceutical  applications.  When submitting your RFQ, be sure to include as much information as possible regarding the operating environment for the metal filter or strainer and we will make recommendations based on your specific needs.
