Sintered Metal Filter Cartridge
Lufil Filtration Technology is one of the leading suppliers of sintered filter cartridges. These filters are made using titanium granules and SS 316 material due to their non-corrosive nature. They can also be customized for different industrial processes. We have a wide range of sintered filters to cater to a wide range of industrial filtration applications.
Process of Sintering Metal Particles
Sintering is a process of bonding metal sand particles together with the help of pressure and a suitable temperature. During the sintering process temperature and pressure play a vital role. Higher temperatures can melt metal particles and the same happens with high pressure which can cause breakage in metal structures. It becomes important to control both at a certain amount to join the metal particles together without having any defects in them.
Need of Sintered Metal Filters
Sintered filters are used to remove tiny solid particles present in the liquid or gas process streams. They are made using metal powder to form a defining structure as per requirement. Their non-corrosive nature and sustainability under higher temperatures make them ideal to use. By doing gas back pressure cleaning they can be used multiple times with the same filtration accuracy which can save a lot of cost. Sintered filters are most important to achieve the finest filtration as they are capable of doing the filtration up to 0.2 microns.
Prime Factors to Consider for Sintered Cartridge Elements
- Working conditions
Parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate classify the operating environment of a system or process.
- Filtration Efficiency
Knowing the required filtration accuracy can help to make the best suited cartridge for higher performance.
- Construction Material
The selection of material becomes vital for corrosion and high temperature resistance applications.
- Pressure Drop
During design, it became a necessity to calculate the required pressure drop as per standard to avoid leakage in the system.
- Appropriate Strength
The material strength and load capacity must be within suitable limits to avoid uneven breakage.
