Stainless Steel Metal Mesh Witch Hat Filter Elements: High-Efficiency Conical Filtration Solutions
Stainless Steel Metal Mesh Witch Hat Filter Elements are precision-engineered conical filters designed to maximize filtration efficiency and flow rates in demanding industrial processes. Crafted from high-grade 304/316 stainless steel, these filters feature a unique conical (witch hat) shape that provides a larger surface area for enhanced debris retention, reduced pressure drop, and easy cleaning. Ideal for viscous fluids, slurries, or high-particulate media, they deliver unmatched durability and performance in harsh environments.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Our witch hat filters are produced using cutting-edge technology for consistent quality:
- Material Selection: Premium stainless steel wires or perforated sheets sourced from certified suppliers.
- Mesh Weaving/Perforation: CNC looms or laser punching create uniform apertures for precise filtration.
- Conical Forming: Hydraulic press or spiral welding shapes the mesh into a seamless conical structure.
- Edge Reinforcement: TIG welding or flanging ensures leak-proof edges and mechanical strength.
- Surface Treatment: Passivation, electro-polishing, or heat treatment for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Quality Control: Rigorous testing includes pressure resistance, mesh accuracy, and material composition checks (ISO 9001 certified).
Key Performance Attributes
Superior Material Quality
- Grades: 304, 316, or 316L stainless steel for exceptional resistance to corrosion, acids, and high temperatures (up to 800°C / 1472°F).
- Rigid Structure: Reinforced mesh layers and welded seams ensure stability under high-pressure conditions (up to 30 MPa).
Optimized Conical Design
- High Flow Capacity: Conical shape increases filtration surface area, minimizing clogging and maximizing throughput.
- Mesh Options: 50–400 mesh sizes for precise particle retention (1–500 microns).
- Custom Dimensions: Tailored cone angles, heights (50–500mm), and base diameters (20–300mm) to fit specific equipment.
Reusable & Low Maintenance
- Easy backwashing or ultrasonic cleaning extends service life and reduces operational costs
Versatile Industrial Applications
Stainless steel witch hat filter elements are essential in:
- Chemical & Petrochemical: Filtering aggressive acids, polymer melts, and catalyst slurries.
- Food & Beverage: Clarifying syrups, oils, and dairy products (FDA-compliant finishes).
- Pharmaceutical: Sterilizing APIs, solvents, and fermentation broths (GMP standards).
- Water Treatment: Removing sediments and algae in high-flow filtration systems.
- Mining & Energy: Screening abrasive slurries and hydraulic fluids.
