Metal Filtration Solutions
Precise and versatile

Many industries are challenged by the production of increasingly complicated and geometrically complex filters and meshes. Often featuring customized and non-standard apertures/passages and aperture arrangements for a wide range of industrial applications. In some cases, micro-sieving is only made possible by stacking individual metal filter elements. To meet these requirements, OEMs need a precise and versatile manufacturing technology tailored exactly to the needs of companies requiring innovative filters and meshes.

This is where the photochemical etching process comes into play.

The speed, cost-efficiency, and accuracy of the photochemical manufacturing process are of decisive importance for filtration applications. Equally important are the facts that the parts are stress-free and burr-free, and that geometric complexity is not restricted. Design changes are possible very quickly and easily, with very manageable tool modification costs.

Typical Applications in Filtration

Stainless steel microfilters with precise micro-perforation for the filtration of the finest particles in industrial and technical applications.

The extremely fine, reproducible opening structures enable the controlled separation of cells, particles, or biological samples in the smallest liquid volumes. The filter element impresses with high precision, clean edges, and reliable process control in modern laboratory diagnostics.

Metal filtration grids with a fine-mesh structure for reliable particle separation in industrial filter systems.

The burr-free, precisely defined apertures enable the reliable separation of fine particles from liquids or gases. The filter element is characterized by high repeatability, uniform structures, and a particularly clean surface.

Industrial stainless steel filter with fine-mesh filter cloth for the reliable filtration of liquids and gases in process plants.

The fine-mesh metal sieve protects valve seats and seals from particles in liquids or gases. The uniform microstructure ensures a defined flow, high pressure resistance, and long service life even under demanding operating conditions in chemical, energy, or process engineering.

Air filter with fine-mesh metal grid and pleated filter element for the efficient separation of particles in air and ventilation systems.

The precisely manufactured metal mesh stabilizes the filter structure, directs the airflow, and retains larger particles before they reach the actual filter stage. The robust construction withstands temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and long-term stress in the automotive sector.

Metal intake grille with hexagonally reinforced perforated structure for air guidance, particle separation, and the protection of technical systems.

Intake grilles protect air guidance and filter systems from foreign bodies and support a uniform airflow. Precisely manufactured metal structures combine high permeability with a reliable protective function.
