Sintered Filters and Silencers

Sintered bronze filters and silencers

Powder metallurgy technology makes it possible to obtain highly porous metal materials intended, among others, for purification, flow calming, deoiling of liquids and gases, and for the production of catalytic agents, electrodes, returnable safety devices, and drains. High accuracy of purification, good mechanical and plastic properties, heat – resistance, resistance to the corrosive effect of the filtered agent, easy regeneration, and good machinability are basic advantages of Sintered filters and silencers. The products are used, among others, in aircraft, automotive, chemical, and machines – tool industries.

Advantages

  • High filtering efficiency, also under high pressure
  • Corrosion resistant
  • High temperature resistance
  • Easy to clean
  • Easy to implement

Dimensions

Best fit for CERAMET filters and silencers

  • Filtering – allows for filtering at high pressure and high temperatures with high
    corrosion resistance
  • Separation – allows for separation of fluids or gas due to differential surface tension once with contact with metallic filter elements
  • Diffusion – Fluid or gass homogenous distribution due to uniform porosity
  • Capillary effect and fluidisation
  • Silencing
  • Sensor and valve protection

The values of absolute purification accuracy were calculated by multiplying the maximum pore size by a coefficient of 0.45
The values of nominal purification accuracy (based on capturing 95% of particles) were calculated by multiplying the maximum pore size by a coefficient of 0.38
