SupaMesh
SupaMesh stainless steel filter cartridges are designed for use in a wide range of applications and industries, suitable for both liquids and gases. All SupaMesh cartridges are manufactured from 316 stainless steel throughout. They are available in both plain cylindrical and pleated configurations, using the latest high specification mesh or sintered metal fibre media. Each design provides a simple sleeve of filter medium supported by a central core. The pleated design offers over twice the effective filtration area of the cylindrical cartridge. The plain cylindrical sintered metal powder cartridges are self-supporting. In all designs, the construction method used is fully welded with no adhesives or glues, ensuring cartridge integrity, eliminating the risk of bypass, and avoiding the presence of extractables from any bonding agents.
Unique Construction
- Modular assembly up to 745mm (30”) long, 316 Stainless steel, welded for ultra-clean assembly
- SS Grade – Nominal rated precision woven mesh, available 5 – 840µm
- SF Grade – Absolute rated sintered metal fibre, available 3 – 60µm
- Optional backwash cage for enhanced mechanical strength
- SP Grade – Sintered powder media, available 6 – 60µm
Product Features
- SupaMesh cartridges are available with many standard industrial end cap configurations and seal materials, including the Junior size at 2.5 and 5” lengths.
- Optional outer guards for reverse flow or backwashing to enhance their superior robust design.
- The method of construction and materials used allow for use from –150ºC to +300ºC and up to 25 bar differential pressure in normal flow direction.
