Micro Expanded Metal Filter Medias & Support Materials

Filtration is critical to industrial production and our daily life. It helps to maintain the clean life and contribute to the sustainable development. Choose the right filter material is important to the filtration efficiency and accuracy.

Micro expanded metal is versatile and adaptable, which is available for coils, sheets and can be pressed, formed shaped and welded into components for straining, retention and filtration. Besides, it is wide ranges of configurations of thickness, opening sizes, 2D/3D structures to satisfy different filtration requirements and grades and ensure strength, particle removal and media compatibility.

Our micro/precious expanded metal is widely used liquid filters and air filters.

Micro expanded metal can be used as the supporting structures of filter elements (especially for non-woven fabrics and activated carbons) and it can also be used as the filter materials.

  • Expanded metal foils. Our aluminum/copper/stainless steel expanded metal foil can be layered into filter panels to capture dust and grease for both internal and external air filtration.
  • Micro expanded meal mesh. Micro expanded metal mesh can be used as the support material of filter elements because of rigid, integrated and even distributed structures.

Features
  • Economical material. It has no waste during production and it can be made into micro openings, which is an alternative to perforated metal materials.
  • Integrated structure. Slit and stretch technology supplies integrated and uniform surface and will not loose during filtration to supply rigid support structure for filter element.
  • Wide ranges of size options. The flexible and versatile thickness, openings configurations make it possible to satisfy more filtration fineness and fit for more applications.
  • Different materials options. Aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized, copper and other alloy materials can satisfy different filtration environments and media.

Moreover, the micro expanded metal can be made into other forms and shapes for different filtration needs.
