Wire Mesh Filter Disc
We also call wire mesh filter disc as mesh disc, mesh filter disc, wire mesh disc, pack screen, filter disc, etc.
They are made from metal mesh, for example
- Woven mesh filter discs

- Expanded mesh discs
- Sintered filter discs

- Photo-chemically etched filter discs

- Perforated metal mesh filter discs
- with common round holes

- with other kinds of holes

- And so on.
Here we mainly introduce woven wire mesh filter discs.
- Firstly, it is usually manufactured to customized dimensions by punching or laser cutting technology.
- Secondly, metal wire mesh discs vary widely in their material, mesh size, shape, size, and so on.
- So it is suitable for a wide range of applications.
- We can use them for filtering, screening, separating, sorting, sieving of powders, chemicals, abrasives, wood, paper, fertilizer, animal feed, and other materials and particles.
- We can also use it for support.
- And we can use mesh screen discs in pipes, tubes, filtration systems, and so on.
How is woven wire mesh made?
It is produced by weaving two distinct sets of metal wires (warp and weft / woof / filling wires) at right angles. Each warp and weft wire passes over one, two or other amounts of wires, and then under the next one, two or other amounts of wires. There are four main weaves according to different inter-structure of the mesh: plain, dutch, twilled, twilled dutch. For example,
- Plain woven wire mesh is the mesh where warp and weft wires pass over one, and then under the next adjacent wire on both sides.
- And warp and weft wires of twilled woven wire cloth need to pass over two, and then under two successive wires in both directions.
Woven wire mesh varies widely in its material, mesh size, wire diameter, hole size. Moreover, it can be cut, formed into many kinds of shapes to get different kinds of deep processing products. For example, round wire mesh disc, rectangular woven mesh filter discs, metal mesh filter caps, filter screen tubes, and so on.

Material of wire mesh filter discs
Mesh discs are available for many metal materials, for instance
- Stainless steel mesh filter discs
- Copper mesh filter discs
- Brass mesh filter discs
- Pure nickel wire mesh filter disc
- Nickel alloy woven wire mesh disc (Monel, Hastelloy, Inconel, Nichrome)
- Titanium wire mesh filter disc
- FeCrAl wire mesh filter disc
- Molybdenum wire mesh filter disc
- Tungsten wire mesh filter disc
- And so on.
300 series stainless steel is the most commonly used material, such as 304 SS, 316 SS, 316L SS.
Usually, to fit different environment’s requirements, we produce screen filter discs by cutting woven wire mesh with different mesh size. For example, we can use
- 1 micron stainless steel mesh
- 5 micron stainless steel mesh filter
- 10 micron stainless steel mesh
- 50 micron stainless steel micro mesh filter
- 100 micron stainless steel mesh screen
- 200 micron stainless steel mesh
- 300 micron stainless steel mesh filter
- 400 micron stainless steel mesh
- stainless steel woven wire 20 mesh
- 300 mesh stainless steel screen
- And so on.
Shape and Size
Shape: Round, Oval, Square, Rectangular, Triangular, and so on.
Size: Customized as requirement
Style: Single-layer, Multi-layer, Covered edges, Welded, Sintered
- For single-layer wire mesh disc, we can use it directly in most environments. But it can be covered edge to reduce the danger from sharp protruding wire ends, and it can also be sintered to fit special requirements.
- For multi-layer woven mesh filter discs, we can make them together by covering edges, welding, sintering or other technology.
- Common materials of covered edge: stainless steel sheet, brass sheet, aluminum sheet, rubber, plastic, and so on.
Customizable
For the most metal wire mesh discs, we customize it as customer’s requirements for suiting theirs using environments.
Characteristic
- Acid and Alkali resistance
- Corrosion resistance
- Heat resistance
- Anti-wear property
- And so on. Usually, different material, different properties.
Applications of wire mesh filter discs
Mesh filter disc is suitable for the rubber, plastic, petroleum, chemical, light, medicine, metallurgy, machinery, shipbuilding, and other industries.
Wire mesh screen disc also suits for screening of grain and oil, filtering for air filter for car, sorting for distillation, absorption, evaporation.
Woven mesh filter discs are also suitable for the food field. For example
- Coffee field: Coffee filter disc, French press replacement filter screen

- Sprouting screen
- Wine cover gauze mat and any other cover gauze mat has opening allowing your goods to breathe, and they protects your goods from all pests and airborne particles

- And so on.
