Melt filters are specialized filters used for filtering high-temperature melts in industries such as plastics, rubber, and chemical fibers. They ensure the purity and quality of the final products by effectively removing impurities, unmelted particles, and gel particles from the melt, thereby improving the performance and quality of the products.
I. Main Characteristics of Melt Filters
（1） High Temperature Resistance
- Melt filters can operate in high-temperature environments, typically withstanding temperatures from 200°C to 400°C. Some filters made from special materials can endure even higher temperatures.
（2）High Strength
- Due to the need to function in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, melt filters are usually made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel and nickel alloys.
（3） High Precision
- Melt filters possess high filtration precision, effectively removing small impurities. Common filtration precision ranges from 1 to 100 microns.
（4）Corrosion Resistance
- The materials used for melt filters must have good corrosion resistance to prevent degradation in high-temperature and high-pressure melts.
II. Main Materials of Melt Filters
（1）Stainless Steel Fiber Sintered Felt
- Made from sintered stainless steel fibers, offering good permeability and filtration performance. It can be washed and reused multiple times.
（2）Stainless Steel Woven Mesh
- Made from woven stainless steel wire, featuring uniform pore size and high filtration precision.
（3） Multilayer Stainless Steel Sintered Mesh
- Made from sintering multiple layers of stainless steel mesh, providing high strength and high filtration precision.
（4）Nickel-Based Alloys
- Suitable for higher temperatures and more demanding chemical environments.
III. Structural Forms of Melt Filters
（1）Cylindrical Filters
- The most common form, suitable for most filtering equipment.
（2）Disc Filters
- Used in planar filtering equipment.
（3）Custom Shaped Filters
- Tailored for special needs and used in specific filtering equipment.
IV. Application Fields of Melt Filters
（1） Plastic Industry
- Used for filtering plastic melts to remove impurities and improve the quality of plastic products.
（2）Chemical Fiber Industry
- Used for filtering chemical fiber melts to ensure the purity and quality of the fibers.
（3）Rubber Industry
- Used for filtering rubber melts to remove impurities and enhance the performance of rubber products.
（4）Petrochemical Industry
- Used for filtering high-temperature melt materials, ensuring product purity and the safety of production equipment.
V. Advantages of Melt Filters
（1） Improve Product Quality
- Effectively remove impurities from melts, enhancing the purity and quality of the products.
（2）Extend Equipment Life
- Reduce equipment wear and clogging, extending the service life of the equipment.
（3）Reduce Production Costs
- Improve filtration efficiency, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
（4） Environmental Protection
- High filtration efficiency reduces waste and emissions, meeting environmental standards.
VI. Choosing a Melt Filter
（1）Based on Operating Temperature
- Select filter materials that can withstand the required high temperatures of the production process.
（2）Based on Filtration Precision
- Choose the appropriate filtration precision according to product quality requirements.
（3）Based on Melt Properties
- Consider factors such as the corrosiveness and viscosity of the melt when selecting filter materials.
（4） Based on Equipment Requirements
- Choose the appropriate filter shape and specifications according to the structure and size of the filtering equipment.
