Metal Sintered Pleated Fiber Felt Filter

Compared with standard cylindrical sintered metal fiber filter elements, pleated filter elements offer substantial performance advantages through optimized geometric design.

The pleated structure increases the effective filtration area by multiple folds while maintaining the same installation envelope. As a result:

Filtration flux per unit area is reduced

Pressure drop rise rate during operation is significantly slowed

Dust holding capacity is increased

Filter element service life is extended

In pulse-jet or back-blow cleaning systems, pleated elements also demonstrate improved cleaning efficiency due to lower media loading and more uniform stress distribution, reducing localized fatigue and media degradation.

Pleated sintered metal fiber filter elements are especially recommended for applications involving high flow rates, limited installation space, elevated temperatures, and continuous operation, where conventional filter designs may reach pressure drop limits prematurely.
