Compressed Knitted Mesh for Filtration Areas

Compressed knitted mesh is molded knitted mesh by being layered, folded, and placed into a compression die to create a ring, round, square, or other customized shapes. As an integrated porous filter element, it presents a “torturous” path to let air, liquids, or oil pass through in high efficiency and particle retention.

To suit different applications, we produce compressed knitted mesh in different densities and wire diameters. These two factors are important to determine the filtration performance, dirt holding capacity, and pressure drop. For example, in the same density/ weight, larger wires open larger paths to allow particles to flow through and will create less pressure drop. Normally larger wires mean less expensive, but less working efficiency, so it’s important to help customers to find a balance. We can give suggestions to give a range and produce samples to help customers to test and determine the final product.

Meanwhile, the compressed mesh has good vibration reduction properties and is widely used in areas where there is constant shock or bearing load, even in a corrosive environment or under ultra-high temperatures.
