Cylinders and filter cartridges

These metal filters and fabricated parts simply belong together due to their cylindrical shape and the associated manufacturing step. The following applies for cylinders and filter cartridges, wire mesh cones and filter wraps: The wire mesh blank is rolled. The filter cartridges, in particular, will be familiar to many of you in the automotive industry and in water treatment. The multi-faceted metal wire mesh scores particularly well under the influence of extreme environmental conditions - namely through the adaptability of its mechanical, chemical and physical properties.

Fabric wrap with plastic overmoulding - also known as a dishwasher screen. — Dishwasher sieve: single layer with plastic overmoulding

Filter cartridge with pleated wire mesh, connector and base — Extruder filter: multi-layer, with a wedge wire cylinder, connection piece and base

Filter wrap with a sheet metal ring — Filters for auxiliary heaters: single-layer filter wraps with and without a sheet metal ring

Filter cartridge with an edging — Extruder filter: two-layered filter cartridge with an edge trim

Wire mesh cylinder with a collar and base — Filter for laboratory suspensions: twilled weave, with a bottom and collar

Filter wrap with metal edging — Compressed air filters in airbags: multi-layered, with metal edging

Metal wire mesh filter wrap — Germ and bacteria filter in the water: single-layer spiral filter wrap

Individual design and manufacture

Shape, joining method and face side finishing

And here too: Your needs decide.

Depending on your requirements, we design single or multi-layered, smooth or pleated woven wire cloth in a cylindrical or conical shape for your application.
We produce the cylinders and filter cartridges, mesh cones and filter wraps fully automatically or in individual production.
The wire mesh layers are joined by spot or roll seam welding, with the longitudinal seams overlapping or butt welded together. You do not want a welded seam?
For large series we offer endless cylinders as well as woven cylinders without weld seams.
The face sides of all product types also receive a finish at your request.

Close-up of the welding process — Plasma, TIG, MIG, MAG and resistance welding processes, roll seam and spot welding.

Multi-layered water filter, cylindrical with a wedge wire screen — Filter cylinder for ballast water treatment.

Weave type and material are decisive

Not only in water treatment

A filter cartridge which must withstand the pressure of the water in treatment plants, consists of several mesh layers. The fine filter layer - usually MINIMESH® S twilled weave - is protected by a coarser square mesh wire cloth and a wedge wire screen cylinder.

The weave type of the respective wire mesh layers is decisive for the function of the later components. The same applies to the material of the wires used.
It influences the properties of the final components:

Chemical properties (e.g. corrosion behaviour)
Physical properties (e.g. pressure resistance)
Economic characteristics (e.g. the costs)
