Filtration with Advantages

A great many industrial and scientific processes require the separation or filtration of solid particulate matter from fluids or gases, often calling for the use of porous sintered metal elements. Ideal for deployment in a wide range of filtration/separation applications, sintered metal filters often prove superior to other filter media, and help reduce production costs. Using porous sintered metal material offers the following advantages:

- Structural stability, i.e. components remain self-supporting, even when subjected to high pressure differentials and fluctuating stress loading

- Excellent properties under permanent, impact, or oscillatory stress loading, or with rapid pressure increase (impulse or explosive)

- High thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock.

- High perfusablity with a small pressure drop

- Designated separation behaviour defined by precisely specified pore size (filter grades 0.5-200µm for metallic powders and 3-100µm for sintered metallic structures)

- Chemical resistance to acids and alkalis for a wide range of pH

- Excellent reverse flushing properties, and options for cleaning with super-saturated steam, chemical solvents, thermal and ultra-sound techniques.

The uses of porous metal structures reveal a totally new dimension for improving efficiency and rationalization in a wide range of applications. Metallic particles of defined shape and size are pre-formed in a sinter process and then metallurgic ally bonded. The interstices between the sintered particles form a permanent network of pores whose size and distribution depends both on the sinter material and the sintering process itself. Metal filters offer the following advantages:

- High temperature resistance
- Structural flexibility
- Long working life
- Corrosion resistance
- Mechanically loadable - reverse flushable
- Useable as deep filters
- Useable as surface filters (metallic membrane)

Our filters and filter components for a diverse range of applications. They help ensure the smooth running of industrial and scientific processes, and high class product quality at competitive prices. Ever committed to continuing product development and technology, our focus has always remained unchanged: improving our customers‘profitability. Our filters are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and materials, and can be easily tailored to your individual process requirements.

Filtration Made to Measure

SIKA elements are just one of our products diverse product ranges. Made from a wide range of different materials, they are matched to the requirements specified and used in a diverse number of applications: including gas welding (sintered metal units functioning as flame-arresters), various medical technologies, environmental technologies, fluid and gas filtration, sound damping, polymer filtration, and hydraulic fluid, lubricant and fuel filtration.
SIKA special materials can also solve your problems handling bulk powders or chemicals. They ease the discharge of bulk powders from storage containers. Needing only the minimum of gas or air, pumped into what is usually the conical part of the container, stored bulk chemicals and powders etc., can be easily discharged, significantly reducing the common problems of wall friction and particle agglomeration. Furthermore, the gas itself is carried out along with the discharged bulk material. SIKA materials are used in industries handling bulk goods for:

- The aeration and conditioning of bulk chemicals, powders etc.
- In the manufacture of fluidizing funnels and plates for pressure conveyers
- homogenising bulk materials
- powder layering (fluidized beds)
- flow bed conveyance
- de-gassing of bulk materials

SIKA elements also significantly reduce the noise caused by air intake/discharge in pneumatically machinery and control devices. SIKA elements’ combination of high perfusability and excellent sound absorption properties have proven to be more than impressive even with high flow rate air flow.

The flexibility of product form and shape, and a large selection of different raw materials, allows numerous options for product applications. Use of our products porous metal filers in both industry and science lead to the optimization of performance and cost-efficiency. Their stability under load, excellent filtering function and durability significantly contribute to optimizing the manufacture of your products at the lost possible cost. Our products are environment-friendly and fully recyclable.

Should one of our standard products not meet your specific requirements, then we simply work with you to provide a customized solution to your particular production challenge. Our specialists and R&D department are always at your disposal.
