Construction & operating principle
A metal pleated cartridge folds mesh or other suitable metallic media and joins it to end fittings, increasing area within a compact envelope. Separation depends on the pore and layer structure. Material strength does not imply unlimited pressure or temperature capability: corrosion, welds, supports and seals jointly determine assembly reliability. Reuse after cleaning requires evidence of structural and filtration recovery.
Typical uses
- Process-liquid filtration compatible with the chosen alloy
- Particle control requiring a robust mechanical structure
- Repeated use supported by a validated cleaning procedure
Compare product approaches
| Selection factor | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Media form | Mesh, fibre felt and composite layers differ in capture and cleaning behaviour. |
| Alloy | Corrosion conditions govern material choice; stainless steel is not universally chemical-resistant. |
| Connections | Welds, ends and seals must suit temperature, pressure and installation. |
Selection information to confirm
| Category | Metal Filters |
|---|---|
| Material options | Stainless steel |
| Filtration objective | Define what to remove and what to retain |
| Rating / Dimensions | Confirm combinations against controlled model specifications |
| Flow / Temperature / Pressure | Specify normal and limiting operating conditions |
| Connections / Seals | Confirm installation interfaces and wetted materials |
| Cleaning / Validation | Confirm the service cycle and acceptance criteria |

Use & maintenance
- 01
Commissioning
Inspect welds, pleats and seals for damage or transport deformation.
- 02
Operation
Track differential pressure and downstream quality, avoiding conditions that deform the pleats.
- 03
Cleaning
Use a method compatible with both deposits and alloy, then reassess cleanliness, structure and retention.
Product questions
Can metal cartridges be cleaned indefinitely?
Corrosion, fatigue and cleaning damage accumulate, requiring reuse and retirement criteria.
Are pleated and sintered metals equivalent?
Their pores, area and capture mechanisms differ and need duty-specific comparison.
