Wire Mesh Backed Composite Filter Media

Product Overview

Our wire mesh backed composite filter media represents the pinnacle of advanced filtration technology, engineered for demanding industrial applications where reliability and performance are non-negotiable. This innovative filter media combines a robust stainless steel or galvanized wire mesh backing with a high-performance composite non-woven layer, creating a synergistic structure that delivers exceptional mechanical strength, precise particle retention, and extended service life.

Designed specifically for high-pressure and high-flow environments, wire mesh backed composite filter media ensures optimal filtration efficiency while preventing media deformation or collapse under extreme conditions. The wire mesh provides rigid structural support, allowing the composite layer to focus on superior dirt-holding capacity and gradient filtration. Available in various configurations, this media is ideal for coalescers, separators, and cartridge filters used across industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, and wastewater treatment.

With customizable pore sizes ranging from 1 to 500 microns and thicknesses tailored to specific needs, our wire mesh backed composite filter media meets stringent international standards like ISO 16890 and API 1540. It excels in removing emulsified water, solids, and contaminants from liquids and gases, making it a trusted choice for global B2B operations seeking durable, cost-effective filtration solutions.

Key Features

• Reinforced Wire Mesh Backing: High-tensile stainless steel or galvanized wire mesh (e.g., Dutch weave or plain weave) provides unparalleled structural integrity, resisting high differential pressures up to 20 bar without deformation.
• Advanced Composite Layers: Multi-layer non-woven composites with gradient density for progressive filtration, capturing particles from coarse to fine sizes in a single pass.
• Superior Chemical Resistance: Compatible with hydrocarbons, acids, alkalis, and solvents, ensuring longevity in corrosive environments.
• High Flow Rates: Optimized porosity maintains low pressure drops, even at velocities exceeding 1 m/s, enhancing system efficiency.
• Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably from -40°C to 200°C, suitable for cryogenic and high-heat processes.
• Customizable Dimensions: Roll widths up to 2 meters, lengths to specification, and pleat heights for seamless integration into existing filter housings.
• Easy Cleanability: Backwashable design extends service intervals, reducing downtime and operational costs.
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and REACH certified materials promote sustainability without compromising performance.
