Sintered Wire Mesh

Sintered Wire Mesh for General Industrial Filtration and Separation

Sintered wire mesh is a strong and durable filtration material made by bonding multiple layers of woven wire mesh through heat and pressure. This process creates a mesh with consistent pore sizes, making it ideal for precise filtration. It offers high mechanical strength, resistance to pressure and impact, and performs well in extreme conditions, including high temperatures and corrosive environments. Sintered wire mesh is used in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and general industrial filtration. It can be customized in different sizes and shapes to fit specific needs, making it suitable for applications like sand control, fluidization, and various filtration processes. It’s known for its long-lasting performance and reliability in tough environments.
Sintered Wire Mesh

Sintered Wire Mesh is a high-performance filtration material created by bonding one or more layers of woven wire mesh through a precise sintering process. The process begins with roller-flattened wire mesh to ensure uniform contact at wire intersections. These layers are then laminated under mechanical pressure in a high-temperature furnace filled with inert gas, where the wires are diffusion-bonded together. Once cooled, the result is a rigid and durable material with enhanced mechanical strength and consistent pore sizes.

This versatile material can be customized into single or multi-layered structures, often incorporating a perforated metal sheet for added reinforcement. Its uniform porosity and robust structure make it ideal for demanding filtration applications, combining excellent durability, thermal resistance, and precise filtration efficiency. Sintered Wire Mesh is widely used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, water treatment, and food and beverage filtration.

Our Sintered Wire Mesh products are manufactured using high-quality materials such as SS304, SS316, Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel. These materials provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The filtration rate of our sintered wire mesh ranges from 2 microns to 500 microns, offering precise filtration for various needs. Our mesh is available in multiple configurations, including 2-layer, 3-layer, 4-layer, and 5-layer constructions, with each layer serving a specific purpose such as filtration, protection, drainage, and perforation.

Types of Sintered Wire Mesh

  • Single-Layer Sintered Mesh
    The single-layer sintered mesh is made from a single sheet of sintered wire, providing basic filtration capabilities. This type is suitable for applications that require coarse filtration, where the primary focus is on larger particle separation. While it offers simplicity and efficiency for general filtration needs, it is best for applications that do not demand high filtration precision.
  • Multi-Layer Sintered Mesh
    Multi-layer sintered mesh consists of multiple layers of wire mesh, typically ranging from 2 to 5 layers, each progressively finer. The coarser layers provide structural support, while the finer layers offer high-efficiency filtration, making this type ideal for applications requiring precise and fine filtration. The increased number of layers improves both the filtration performance and the strength of the mesh, providing greater durability and resistance to pressure. Multi-layer sintered mesh is commonly used in industries that require high-quality filtration, such as in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Features of Sintered Wire Mesh

  • Strong and Durable: High mechanical strength for long-lasting use.
  • Precise Filtration: Uniform pore sizes for accurate filtration.
  • Corrosion and Heat Resistant: Stands up to harsh conditions.
  • Efficient Flow: Good permeability with low pressure drop.
  • Easy to Clean: Simple to maintain and keep in good condition.
  • Customizable: Can be made in various shapes and sizes.

Reinforcing Layers

  • Crimped Wire Mesh Reinforcing Layer: This layer consists of crimped woven wire mesh with larger diameters, integrated into the sintered mesh structure. It is applied to one or both sides of the mesh to enhance its mechanical strength and stability, offering greater resistance to pressure and impact.
  • Perforated Metal Reinforcing Layer: A perforated metal plate, often made of stainless steel, is added to one or both sides of the sintered mesh. This layer provides additional support and reinforces the mesh’s strength, making it more durable and resistant to mechanical stress and deformation. It is particularly useful in applications where the mesh must endure high pressures or harsh conditions.

monly used in applications where the sintered mesh needs to withstand high pressures, mechanical stress, or to prevent deformation during use.
