Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements suit hostile environments.
Press Release Summary:
Metal felt filter elements employ filter media, made of thin filaments of nonwoven stainless steel, that withstands high-pressure, highly corrosive, highly viscous, and radioactive applications. Metal felt is up to 85% porous, resulting in optimized flow rates and service life. Random fiber filtration (metal felt) can provide absolute particle retention, extended on-stream time, and dirt-holding capacity for under 60 micron filter elements.

Porous Metal Felt Filter Elements Announced
OAKWOOD VILLAGE, OH - Swift Filters, Inc. has announced a new series of metal felt filter elements. The elements employ filter media made of thin filaments of nonwoven stainless steel, which is ideal for high pressure, highly corrosive, highly viscous or radioactive applications. The metal felt employed is highly porous (up to 85%) providing very high flow rates of up to 20 times those of other media types as well as exceptionally long life.
Random fiber filtration (metal felt) can provide absolute particle retention, longer on-stream time and high dirt-holding capacity for under 60 micron filter elements. Although more expensive, it often offers clear advantages over wire cloth, sintered metal or non-metallic fibers. Its high temperature, high pressure and corrosion resistance combined with almost unending cleanability, make it highly economical for hostile environments.
Metal felt filter elements are often found in demanding applications such as chemical and catalyst recovery, polymer filtration, aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical, nuclear venting, food and beverage and refinery uses.
Swift Filters, Inc. designs and manufacturers high quality replacement filter elements and custom filter elements for a wide variety of industries. For over 30 years it has been certified as an approved source for the U. S. Department of Defense and private aerospace manufacturers. In 2009 the company was named a winner of its fifth straight Weatherhead 100 Award as one of the fastest growing companies in Northeast Ohio. The company is located at 7805 First Place, Oakwood Village, OH 44146. Telephone: 1-877-887-9438 FAX: 440-735-0996 email:info@Swiftfilters.com Web: www.swiftfilters.com
