Key Features & Advantages
-
• Exceptional Durability: Constructed from advanced alloys such as Stainless Steel (304, 316, 316L) , Nickel, Titanium, and Inconel, our cylinders possess remarkable corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and mechanical strength, significantly outperforming and outlasting traditional filter media.
-
• Precise Filtration & Control: By sintering multiple layers of wire mesh with varying pore sizes, we can meticulously control the porosity and pore size distribution of the final product. This allows for highly efficient particle retention, uniform fluid distribution, and controlled permeability.
-
• High Surface Area: The three-dimensional (mesh) structure provides a vast surface area. This not only enhances filtration efficiency but also makes the cylinders an excellent substrate for catalyst support, dramatically improving reaction rates and process efficiency.
-
• Wide Application Compatibility: From strongly alkaline electrolytes to high-purity reaction gases, our filter cylinders demonstrate excellent compatibility with a wide range of chemical media, ensuring stable performance in complex processes.
Primary Application Industries
Our wire mesh cylinders serve as core components in advancing technologies and industrial processes:
-
• Hydrogen Technology: In both Alkaline and PEM water electrolyzers, they function as Porous Transport Layers (PTL) and electrodes, ensuring efficient transport of water and gases (Hydrogen/Oxygen) and facilitating the electrochemical reaction .
-
• Chemical & Pharmaceutical Processing: Used for high-temperature gas filtration, catalyst support in reactors, and as gas spargers or distributors, enhancing process safety, yield, and product purity.
-
• Food & Beverage: Employed in processes like syrup filtration and beer brewing for precision liquid filtration, safeguarding product flavor, clarity, and safety.
-
• Industrial & Environmental: Applied in hydraulic oil filtration, cooling water treatment, and industrial exhaust systems to protect critical machinery and meet environmental standards. They are also integral to pneumatic conveying systems .
Customization Services
We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for our distributors’ diverse clientele. Therefore, we offer flexible customization, tailoring our products to your specifications. We can customize materials, dimensions, porosity, and connection types based on your drawings or samples, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance within your customers’ systems.
