These filter cartridges are made from Sintered Fiber felt media.

SS316 fibers are compressed together and sintered to make SS316 Fiber felt media. This non-woven felt media is then used to manufacture cartridges. The End Caps as well as the seams are welded.

Resins/Adhesives not used in the manufacture of these types of cartridges.

Sintered stainless steel fiber felt offers efficient filtration with an extremely high porosity, capturing particles effectively. These durable filter cartridges resist corrosion, making them ideal for demanding environments. The sintering process enhances their integrity, ensuring reliable filtration for various fluids and contaminants. With superior dirt holding capacity and extended service life, sintered stainless steel filters are the preferred choice for critical applications.

Filtration of powders, trapping particulates from vacuum / compressed air lines. Filtration of gels from molten monomers at high temperatures etc.

What are Sintered fiber felt Filters?

Sintered Metal Fiber Felt is created through a process where metal fibers are randomly lay down to form a filter media. This non-woven stainless steel fiber filter media is then compressed and sintered at a specific temperature and atmosphere. This results in a uniform filtration solution with high porosity, achieved through sintering and bonding.


This depth-based filtration medium effectively captures particles within its structure, making it an excellent choice for removing pollutants. Compared to wire cloth, non-woven metal fiber offers higher porosity, uniform distribution, and greater dirt holding capacity. It can also be welded and folded into different shapes, enhancing its versatility. One downside is the lower strength of the media.


The Sintered Metal Fiber Felt series delivers high filtration efficiencies through a combination of depth and tortuosity, along with exceptional dirt holding capacity and flow characteristics. Multiple layers of metal fiber felt can be sintered together to create effective filter media.
