Our 3-layer sintered wire mesh laminate is ideal for use in pleated filter elements. The two coarser support layers that are used to sandwich the filter layer helps to prevent closing off of pleats.
Sintered Wire Mesh Laminate Applications: Pleated Filters
Sintering also helps the filter mesh maintain a consistent opening size through the pleating process, and helps to produce a superior pleated filter in comparison to one made conventionally with a single layer of regular wire mesh.
We can help you design a 3-layer configuration based on the filter rating you need for your pleated filters.
