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.

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).
