About Pleated Metal Mesh Filter

Pleated Metal Mesh Filter

Pleated Metal Mesh Filter are Pre Filters that are designed for general ventilation and Air Conditioning System applications as well as for electric motors and plenum air for working areas. These are an economical and a very durable option over other pre filter counterparts.

Construction: The element is constructed using 5 layer of GI Wire mesh inter spaced with 2 crimpled layers and 3 flat layers. The media is supported with expanded metal from both sides as reinforcement and housed usually in deep metal frame (custom build sizes are also available on order).

Specification Efficiency

Standard Pleated Metal Mesh Filter have an efficiency of 65% for 20 micron size particles. Metallic filters with an efficiency rating of 65-85% to capture 25 micron to 50 micron size particles are also available on order. Efficiency can be increased to 85% if the filters are oil wetted.

Frame Type : Available in Flange or Box Type GI,AL.,SS.
Filter media : GI/SS/Aluminum expanded mesh
Face guard : Filter is protected with expanded mesh on both sides
Pressure drop :Initial pressure drop ~1mm wg & recommended final pressure drop is 5-10mm wg

Operating conditions

Filter can withstand temperature >80ºc and relative humidity of 70%. Recommended air velocity is 2m/sec to 2. 5m/sec. Filter is washable and can be washed using water or back air pressure and reused.

Application

Pleated Metal Mesh Filter are most suited for:

Air Handling Units (AHU),

Automatic Drain Holes,
Paint Shops,
Textile Mills,
Cement Factories,
Miscellaneous Industrial Ventilation.

With a customizable diameter and a wide selection of mesh sizes and micron ratings, it ensures precise particle removal for a variety of industrial requirements.

Engineered for Durability and Reliability

Crafted with corrosion-resistant stainless steel mesh and robust end cap and frame materials, this filter can handle challenging environments. The available gaskets (EPDM, nitrile, silicone) and advanced build allow for installation in either vertical or horizontal orientations. Each unit delivers a high dirt holding capacity, supporting extended operational cycles and reduced maintenance.

Cost-Effective and Easy Maintenance

By choosing our washable and reusable filters, users benefit from a longer service life and notable savings on replacements. These filters support flow rates from 501000 m3/h and can be tailored to suit your systems capacity and process needs. Simple to clean and reinstall, they ensure continuous filtration efficiency and low downtime.

FAQs of Pleated Metal Mesh Filter:

Q: How do I select the appropriate Pleated Metal Mesh Filter for my application?

A: Begin by assessing your systems flow rate, required micron rating, pressure, temperature, and the specific contaminants you wish to remove. Provide your size or drawing during ordering, and select compatible frame, end cap, and gasket materials based on your applications environment and temperature range.

Q: What is the cleaning and maintenance process for these filters?

A: The filters are designed to be washable and reusable. When the pressure drop reaches the maximum recommended differential (25 bar), remove and clean the mesh using water, mild detergent, or air-blowing methods, depending on the contaminant type. Ensure the filter is fully dry before reinstalling.

Q: When should I replace my Pleated Metal Mesh Filter?

A: Service life is up to two years but depends on operating conditions, contaminant load, and cleaning frequency. Inspect filters regularly for signs of physical damage, excessive clogging, or reduced filtration efficiency, and replace when cleaning no longer restores performance.

Q: Where can I install these filters in my system?

A: They are suitable for both vertical and horizontal installation within HVAC systems, process pipelines, or equipment requiring medium to fine filtration. Customizable connecting types (flanged or threaded) allow integration into existing or new systems with minimal modifications.

Q: What are the advantages of using a pleated design in metal mesh filters?

A: The pleated construction increases the surface area for dust and particle capture, resulting in higher dirt holding capacity, improved flow rates (up to 1000 m3/h), and longer intervals between cleaning or replacement compared to flat panel filters.

Q: What benefits do stainless steel construction and corrosion-resistant features offer?

A: Stainless steel mesh and frames offer excellent resistance to corrosion, extending filter longevity and ensuring consistent performance even under harsh conditions involving moisture, chemicals, or varying temperatures (-20C to 300C).
