Modular Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Filters for Food and Pharma
Modular Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Filters for Food and Pharma
Product Introduction
These Modular Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Filters are built for high-throughput food, beverage and pharmaceutical lines that require hygienic, reusable filtration with predictable performance. The modular approach (flat panels, pleated cartridges or stackable discs) lets you mix coarse pre-screens with fine Dutch-weave polishing layers in one assembly — reducing pressure drop while achieving required retention classes.
Why stainless wire mesh
Stainless media resists thermal and chemical stress from CIP/SIP routines and cleaning chemistries; electropolished finishes reduce biofilm risk and simplify validation. For fine liquid polishing and oil/water separations, Dutch-weave constructions (fine weft, coarser warp) offer tight cut sizes with reasonable permeability — the preferred choice where micron-level control is needed without sintered complexity.
Product Specification Sheet
| Parameter | Typical Range / Note |
|---|---|
| Mesh / Filtration | 4 — 635 mesh; nominal openings ~5000 µm → <1 µm (sintered). |
| Material | SS304 / 316 / 316L / 310 / Duplex / Inconel (specify). |
| Form Factor | Cartridge (pleated/rigid), Basket, Disc, Panel, Sintered Cartridge. |
| Max Temp | Up to ~600°C (woven/sintered SS) — higher for special alloys. |
| Pressure | Vacuum → design up to ~100 bar (structure-dependent). |
| Cleaning | Backwash, CIP, Ultrasonic, High-pressure pulse. |
| Typical Lead Time | Samples 5–12 days; custom cartridges 2–6 weeks (qty & testing dependent). |
Configurations & performance
Standard building blocks include: single- or multi-layer woven cloth, pleated cartridges to multiply media area in compact housings, and welded/framed panels for large inline strainers. Pleated stainless cartridges give long service life and easy onsite cleaning (backflush/solvent/ultrasonic), making them economical for reusable OEM and rental supply models. Typical initial ΔP and beta-ratio data are supplied per configuration to aid system selection.
Applications
Common applications: juice & beverage clarification, pharma API protection, CIP return screens, hydraulic oil pre-filtration, gas/liquid coalescing pre-filters and membrane pre-treatment.Provide ready OEM options, sample runs and small MOQs — useful for qualification runs before scaling.
Quality, testing & service
We supply material certificates (MTR), dimensional inspection reports, and optional particle retention testing (retention curves / βx). For sanitary lines we recommend electropolishing, traceable batch labels and validated CIP recipes; for high-temp/pressure industrial lines choose appropriate alloy (e.g., 316L or 904L) and welded end-fittings.
