Sintered Metal Fiber Felt for Deep Filtration

Sintered metal fiber felt is a non-woven porous metal filtration media made from fine metal fibers. During production, the fibers are evenly laid, laminated and sintered at high temperature. The contact points between fibers are metallurgically bonded to form a stable three-dimensional porous network.

Unlike conventional woven wire mesh, metal fiber felt provides interconnected pores throughout the thickness of the media. This makes it suitable for both surface filtration and depth filtration, particularly where high porosity, high dirt-holding capacity and low pressure drop are required.

The material can also be combined with woven wire mesh, perforated metal plates or other support structures to produce reinforced filter media and finished filter elements.
