Production and repair of metal filter elements
Metal filter elements are an essential part of every filtration process. They are used to purify, separate, protect and control liquids, air, powders, granulates and process flows.
Omnimesh produces, repairs and re-covers metal filter elements for industry, water treatment, pneumatic conveying, the food industry, chemistry, petrochemistry and production installations. We work both on the basis of an existing model and on the basis of a new technical problem for which no standard solution exists yet.
As a manufacturer of screen mesh and filter mesh, we have a large stock of mesh openings, wire diameters and materials. This allows us to respond quickly to urgent repairs, custom-made filters and the re-covering of existing screen frames or filter elements.
Our possibilities for your metal filter element
01
Design and engineering of new filter elements
When no suitable filter element yet exists for your installation or process challenge, we think along with you from a technical point of view. For example, you may have a problem in a screening installation, filter line or production process, but not yet have a suitable filter, screen or construction.
We look at the process, the medium, the load, the required filtration grade, the available installation space and the way in which the filter element must be mounted, cleaned or replaced.
Based on this, we develop a solution. This can start from a sketch, a technical drawing, a sample, an old component or a problem description. After consultation, we further develop the drawing of the filter element and produce it fully custom-made after approval.
This solution is suitable for:
- new filter elements for existing installations
- custom filters for non-standard applications
- screen elements for process optimisation
- filters for old or modified machines
- technical solutions where standard filters are not sufficient
02
New filter element based on an existing model
When an existing filter element is worn, deformed or no longer available, we can produce a new similar filter element. We measure the existing model, analyse the construction and make a new version that fits into the same installation.
If necessary, we can also improve the design. This can be done by choosing a different filter mesh, applying a stronger edge construction, using a more durable material or reinforcing the welds and fixings.
This gives you a new filter element that performs the same function, but is better adapted to wear, corrosion, cleaning, pressure load or service life.
Possible adjustments include:
- different mesh opening or filtration grade
- stronger or finer screen mesh
- stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316 or a special alloy
- reinforced welds or edges
- adapted basket, cylinder, collar or flange
- combination of filter mesh, perforated plate or support grid
03
Repair of existing metal filter elements
A damaged filter element does not always have to be replaced completely. In many cases, we can repair the existing element and make it functional again.
During filter repair, we check the condition of the frame, welds, edges, filter medium and deformation of the element. Damaged screen mesh or filter mesh is removed and replaced. Loose or cracked welds are repaired. Deformed parts are straightened or reinforced where possible.
This is often faster and more economical than a completely new filter element, especially for large filters, custom-made filters or older installations for which standard parts are no longer available.
We repair, among others:
- filter baskets and screen baskets
- filter candles and filter cylinders
- trommel screens and vibrating screens
- conical filters and insert filters
- Y-strainers and suction filters
- cooling water filters and process filters
- custom-made filters for industrial installations
04
Re-covering with new screen mesh or filter mesh
When mainly the screen cloth or filter mesh is worn, damaged, clogged or loosened, a new covering is often sufficient. We remove the old mesh and apply new screen mesh or filter mesh according to the application.
Because we are a manufacturer of metal screen mesh and filter mesh, we have a large stock of materials, mesh openings and wire diameters. This allows us to re-cover quickly in many cases and even offer a 24-hour screen tensioning service.
The re-covering is carried out with the right mesh type, the correct tension and a fixing method adapted to the frame. Depending on the construction, the mesh can be tensioned, clamped, glued, welded, soldered or mechanically fixed.
Re-covering is suitable for:
- screen frames
- filter frames
- vibrating screens
- round or rectangular screen elements
- filter baskets
- trommel screens
- custom filters with metal filter mesh
05
Screen mesh and filter mesh for in-house repair
Customers who repair or maintain their filter elements themselves can also obtain loose screen mesh and filter mesh from Omnimesh.
We supply, among others, woven filter mesh, Dutch weave, plain weave, twilled weave, perforated plates and other metal filter media according to the application. Thanks to our stock, we can quickly supply different mesh openings, wire diameters, materials and dimensions.
This is useful for technical services, maintenance departments, machine builders and companies that want to repair their own filters, screens or filter frames.
