Product Overview

What makes sintered powder filtration different

Sintered stainless steel powder filter elements are manufactured by uniaxially pressing fine spherical 304 or 316L powder into a cylindrical form, then sintering at high temperature in an inert atmosphere — no binders, no adhesives, no extrusion. The result is a rigid, self-supporting three-dimensional pore network with uniform pore size from 0.22 μm to 100 μm.

Unlike surface filters (pleated paper, woven mesh), particles are captured throughout the full wall thickness, giving these elements 5–10× the dirt-holding capacity of comparable pleated cartridges. The multi-layer gradient structure — coarse pores outside, fine pores inside — intercepts contaminants layer by layer and dramatically extends cleaning intervals.

They excel precisely where ordinary filter paper or filter cloth fails: high-viscosity liquids, high-temperature fluids, corrosive media, and processes requiring zero secondary contamination. These elements can be cleaned with gas-liquid bidirectional backflushing combined with ultrasonic treatment, and reused more than 50 times — with a lifecycle cost up to 73% lower than disposable cartridges.

The overall weld-free tube length reaches up to 1,200 mm. Products are formed in one piece without cutting, delivering high raw-material utilization and consistent geometry suitable for welding, bonding, and machining.
