A sintered filter is porous, basically, a cylindrical metallic part produced through the process of sintering. Copper and metal alloys are combined and fused through high temperatures achieving porosity and creating a mesh. It is used in domestic, industrial, and chemical plants to deliver greater effects.

Filtration plays a significant role in everything we do, from drinking water to gases used as a coolant. Impurities can cause trouble, so here comes sintered filters to your rescue. It has the ability to filter down 0.5 microns and up to 100 microns achieved with high efficiency of 99.9%. The filter elements are manufactured in different sizes and shapes, including cylinders, tubes, discs, and cups.

How Sintered Filters are Used in Different Industries?

Sintered porous metal filter elements offer many advantages over conventional filter elements. It can filter corrosion gases and liquids with a high degree of precision. It can be cleaned repeatedly and gradually adapted to various industries. 

• Automotive Industry

Vehicles require clean air and thus, sintered metal filters are used to ensure dust, dirt, and unwanted particles don’t overflow into the exhaust system. Being a crucial element in the exhaust pipe, these filters are great for air filtration of the engine. They are also used as sound dampers in the throttle and exhaust systems.

• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry

Preventive measures are important to be taken as the pharmaceutical industry is exposed to hazardous chemicals. As other substances don’t purify the material, sintered filter is mainly used. With high pressure, different viscosity levels, and corrosion properties, it proves to be a valuable system.

• Domestic Use

Filter covers are widely used in vacuum cleaners, dampers in blenders, filtration units, and water purifiers. Sintered mesh is used to pass the clean air to microprocessors, transistors, and sensitive performing machines.

• Nuclear and Energy Industry

Sintered filters are good for high-pressure situations. You can manage the pressure flow rate and output based on the microns of porousness on the surface of the filter. It plays a huge role inside nuclear reactors where clean water is used as a coolant. 

The applications of sintered metal filters aren’t just limited to these industries. They are used in other industries like manufacturing plants, sea vessels, and many more.

Why Sintered Filters?

Sintered metal filters are made of copper, aluminum, nickel, and other quality metal powders, allowing them to boast the following features:

• High level of filtration – Sintering can help generate filters with ideal porosity. The metal powders are used for filters, expected not to corrode and prevent contamination from running into the filtered materials.

• Resistance to elements – It has a natural resistance to elements. The mixture of metal powders enables sintered filters to maintain a certain degree of corrosion, temperature, and pressure resistance. It prevents damage while being exposed to varying environmental conditions.

• Versatile appearance – Not all these filters have similar appearances. The versatility of sintering allows industries to get filters in different designs and sizes.
