Poroplate® filter laminates consist of multiple layers of precision woven wire mesh filter media. These layers of mesh are metallurgically bonded through a unique and proprietary sintering process. This process combines heat and pressure to permanently bond the layers of mesh together. The commercially pure hydrogen atmosphere of the furnace ensures that the media remains clean and free of any oxidation during the sintering process.
Poroplate® filter media functions as a surface type media. Debris is collected on the outer surface of the filter media and is easily back washed or back pulsed away. Compared to depth media such as sintered metal powder, Poroplate® media offers a significant advantage to the user who incorporates frequent back pulsing or back washing in their normal operations.
