Filter media is placed inside a filter to change the water or liquid quality flowing through the system.
Basket assemblies with rugged, reusable filter elements can be removed and replaced in minutes to minimize the time a filter housing is out of service. There are numerous types of filter media available for a variety of applications.
Filter Media
Diffusion Bonded
Highly efficient, durable wire mesh with three stainless steel screens sintered to a perforated support plate. Filtration from 5 to 863 microns.
Wire Mesh
Rugged, filter screen wrapped tightly around and welded to a perforated stainless-steel backer screen. Appropriate for filtration to 44 microns nominal. Standard sizes from 20 to 325 mesh.
Synthetic Fabric
Durable filter media for filtration from 5 to 250 microns nominal. Mounted on stainless steel backer for support. Available in varied materials that include nylon and polyester.
Spiral Wound Slotted Wedge Wire
Extremely rugged filter element that withstands high differential pressures, and effectively removes fiber and gelatinous particles. Slot openings from 0.001" to 0.065" (0.05 - 1.65 mm).
Perforated Stainless Steel
The rolled steel straight seam design provides exceptional crush resistance for coarse filtration requirements. Hole sizes 0.125" (3.15 mm) and larger. It can be used as filter media alone for the removal of coarse particles, or as the support structure for wire mesh or synthetic type filter elements.
