The custom conical stainless steel sintered mesh filter element is a custom‑engineered, high‑performance filtration solution designed for demanding applications requiring efficient contaminant removal with convenient cake discharge or continuous blow‑down capability. With a base diameter of 173 mm, a height of 152 mm, and a custom‑defined taper angle, this conical (tapered) filter element is manufactured to your exact specifications—providing a precision‑fit solution for your specific filtration system, not a stock replacement.
Unlike standard cylindrical elements that require complete removal for cleaning, the conical geometry of this filter element allows accumulated solids to migrate toward the smaller apex, where a blow‑down valve can continuously or intermittently purge contaminants without stopping the process. This makes the conical sintered mesh filter ideal for high‑viscosity polymer melts, heavy slurries, catalyst recovery, and other high‑contamination industrial processes where downtime must be minimized.

When installed in a filtration system, this custom 173×152 conical sintered mesh filter element effectively removes:
Q1: Why choose a conical (tapered) sintered mesh filter over a standard cylindrical element?
A1: A conical element allows accumulated solids to migrate toward the smaller apex, where they can be discharged continuously or intermittently via a blow‑down valve. Cylindrical elements require complete removal from the housing for cleaning, causing process downtime. Conical elements can be backwashed or purged in place, making them ideal for continuous production lines.
Q2: What is the best method to clean this filter, and how do I know it’s clean?
A2: For most applications, ultrasonic cleaning followed by a clean water or solvent rinse is highly effective for removing embedded particles. Backflushing with clean compressed air or liquid is also common. A well-cleaned filter will restore its initial, clean pressure drop when tested with a clean fluid. A significant, irreversible pressure drop indicates the end of its usable life.
Q3: Can you provide customized sintered filter?
A3: Yes. We can not only provide the standard size, but also the customized filters. We routinely modify end cap designs (e.g., add NPT threads, O-ring grooves, or flanges) and can adjust the overall length or even the filtration rating to meet your specific system integration requirements and performance goals.
Q4: How does the number of sintered layers affect filtration performance, pressure drop, and cleanability?
A: More layers increase:
Mechanical strength – Additional reinforcing layers improve collapse pressure .
Dirt‑holding capacity – Depth loading increases as more layers are added, extending service life before cleaning.
Pressure drop – Each additional layer adds resistance; typically 5‑10% ΔP increase per layer.
Fewer layers offer lower ΔP but less strength and dirt‑holding. Standard recommendation for 30×100: 5‑layer (protective + control + dispersion + 2 reinforcing) balances all factors. Use 7‑layer only for high‑pressure or high‑abrasion applications; use 3‑layer for low‑pressure, high‑flow, clean service.
