Sinterflo® MC Filter Plates

Sinterflo^® MC multi-layered, diffusion-bonded, stainless steel mesh is available in 316L and other alloys. This precision filter mesh, also known as a porous plate, is available in a range of different pore sizes ranging from 2 micron to 100 micron in diameter.

Porvair Filtration Group fabricate Sinterflo^® MC sintered mesh in a standard flat plate format, up to a seamless size of 1,000mm x 1,500mm (40” x 60”) and an unlimited size in butt-welded sheets. This material is easily custom engineered for nonstandard applications and can be formed into tubes and small discs or large scale circular plates.

Sinterflo^® MC Filter Plates are particularly well suited to demanding applications where high operating temperatures up to 540ºC (1,000ºF), increased chemical resistance and/or high abrasion resistance is essential. These applications include flame arrestors, nutsche filter plates and polymer melt filters.
