Sintered Metal Fiber Filter Media

Our range of Sintered metal fiber filter media is available in micron ratings as low as 2.5I , has a very high porosity, and thus provides a very low-pressure drop. The media can be fabricated into tubular form, or pleated to provide increased filter area. The media can be configured as adepth media,and has a much higher dirt holding capacity than either sintered metal powder or woven wire cloth. It can also be configured to function as a surface media, and can be efficiently backwashed or back pulsed. This media is available in a variety of alloys,including those noted above for sintered metal powder.
CREST AR FT Sintered fiber metal felt is typically made from rod drawn wires as small as 2I in diameters. These wires are then cut to the length, and precision air or water laid into a multi-layered un-sintered mat. The mat is then furnace sintered in a manner similar to that used for sintered powder metal media. The result is a permanently sintered web of fibers yielding the desired porosity, permeability and filtration removal rating.This media has a tortuous pore path, making it an excellent media for applications such as polymer filtration,where it has become the media of choice due to its unique gel removal capabilities and high dirt holding capacity.
