Stainless Steel Pleated Filter Element

Stainless steel pleated filter elements are mainly made of stainless steel woven mesh and stainless steel fiber sintered felt. The metal woven mesh or stainless steel fiber felt is folded into a corrugated shape. The sealing surfaces of the filter element are welded by argon arc welding, and the straight seam is welded by plasma automatic welding technology. The light transmission test is performed before the processing of each layer of filter mesh to ensure the performance of the basic material.

Compared with ordinary cylindrical filter elements, what are the advantages of pleated technology?

1. The pleated structure increases the filtration area: The pleated design significantly increases the contact area of the filter medium, which can capture more particles and impurities, while reducing the resistance of liquid or gas passing through the filter element, and improving the filtration efficiency.

2. Physical interception: The filter element uses materials such as metal mesh or sintered metal fiber to form a multi-layer filtration structure with micropores. When the fluid passes through the filter element, impurities and particles are intercepted by these micropores, while smaller molecules and liquids flow out through the micropores.

3. Deep filtration: It is usually made of multiple layers of materials and has a certain depth filtration function. As the fluid flows through the filter element, impurities will gradually deposit in different layers of the filter element, achieving a more effective filtration effect.

As a filter material, stainless steel pleated filter element also has incomparable advantages:

1. High filtration accuracy: It can effectively intercept various tiny particles, and the filtration accuracy can reach the micron level or even higher, ensuring that the filtered liquid or gas reaches a high purity.

2. High strength: The stainless steel material gives it high mechanical strength, and it is not easy to deform in a high-pressure working environment, and can withstand high pressure.

3. Good stability: It has good chemical stability and thermal stability, can maintain stable performance in different temperatures and chemical environments, and is not easy to react chemically with the medium.

4. Easy to clean: The surface is smooth, impurities are not easy to adhere, and can be cleaned in a variety of ways, such as backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, etc., and can be reused after cleaning to reduce the cost of use.

5. Long life: Due to its high strength, corrosion resistance and reusability, the service life of stainless steel pleated filter elements is longer than that of some other materials.

6. Good sealing: Using advanced welding technology, the filter element has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent medium leakage and ensure the filtration effect.

7. Environmental protection and energy saving: It can be recycled and reused, which meets environmental protection requirements. At the same time, its efficient filtering performance helps to reduce energy loss.

Stainless steel pleated filter elements are widely used in many industries. The following are some of the main industries:

1. Food and beverage industry: used for filtering liquids such as juice, milk, beer, etc., removing impurities, sediments and microorganisms, and ensuring the quality and taste of the products.

2. Fine chemical industry: used to filter impurities and colloidal particles in the production process of chemical raw materials, coatings, inks, etc., to improve the purity and stability of products.

3. Automobile manufacturing industry: used for lubricating oil filtration, fuel filtration and air filtration systems of automobile engines to protect engine components and extend engine service life.

4. Aerospace industry: in the fuel system, hydraulic system and air circulation system of aircraft engines, high-precision filtration of oil and gas is performed to ensure the reliable operation of the system.

5. Seawater desalination industry: as an important component of the pretreatment link, it is used to filter suspended matter, sand and other impurities in seawater to provide clean water for subsequent desalination treatment.

6. Power industry: in thermal power generation, hydropower generation and nuclear power generation, it is used for filtering turbine lubricating oil, fire-resistant oil and generator cooling system to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.

7. Metallurgical industry: In the process of metal smelting, it is used to filter impurities and inclusions in the molten metal to improve the quality of metal products. In addition, in the steel rolling process, filtering emulsions and lubricating oils helps to improve the surface quality of rolled products.
