Fiber Metal Felt Filter Elements
Swift Filters is a leading US supplier of metal felt stainless steel cartridge filter elements made with SWIFTFELT® nonwoven 316 stainless steel filaments with filter capability from 3 microns up to 60 microns.(absolute).
A top choice as a direct replacement for most major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) metal felt filter elements, SWIFTFELT filter elements are an economical high performance replacement random metal fiber filter element.
We can also custom engineer high performance metal felt filter elements. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities include CNC machining for custom end cap design and production.
Based on the application and performance requirements, we also provide custom connections, specialty seals, and fittings to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.
SWIFTFELT METAL FELT FILTER ELEMENT ADVANTAGES
Filter elements made with SWIFTFELT fiber metal felt media offers advantages over wire cloth, sintered metal or non-metallic fibers including:
• Absolute Particle Retention-four times the dirt holding capacity
• High Porosity-up to 85% with excellent flow distribution enabling high flow rates up to 20 times higher than other media types
• Low Pressure Drop even at high filtration flow rates
• High dirt-holding capacity for less than 60-micron filter elements
• High Strength-sintered fiber bonds guarantees high strength for high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments
• Easier to Service-no tools needed
• Chemical Resistant-ideal for corrosive applications our metal felt filter elements are an economical option for hostile environments
• Can be used for BOTH surface or depth-type filtration-delivers high efficiency through filter cake accumulation
HIGH CLEANABILITY
Swift Filters felt filter elements can be cleaned via ultrasonic, high temperature or high temperature methods reducing disposal costs, longer on-stream time and less downtime.
Our unique SWIFTLOC™ metal felt manufacturing process creates a mechanical lock that leaves no heat history, significantly reducing the tendency to carbonize in high temperature applications or during severe cleaning procedures.
METAL FELT FILTER ELEMENT SPECIFICATIONS
• Beta Ratio ≥1000 efficiency ensures 99.9% contamination control across flow surges and temperature
• Temperature rating from -40°F to +500°F
• Can withstand extremely high pressures up to 4500 PSI
• Various micron ratings available from 2 µm to 1000 µm (nominal)
CUSTOM METAL FELT FILTER CONFIGURATIONS
Our filtration experts will custom engineer wire cloth filters that we can manufacture to custom specifications or requirements that can be retrofitted to most systems.
Epoxy-Bonded Metal Felt Stainless Steel Filter Elements
Epoxy bonding creates a secure and durable bond between components, contributing to the overall strength of the filter element.
Our epoxy-bonded stainless steel filter elements are manufactured to provide added strength for high pressure applications.
Crimped Metal Felt Stainless Steel Filter Elements
Swift Filters filter process cartridges are made from SWIFTMESH® woven wire mesh with a crimped construction, offering stronger connections that resist deformation under force. Filter cartridges are typically pleated or cylindrically wrapped, with a lightweight core and support ring.
We offer crimped stainless steel filter elements as an alternative to epoxy-bonding, allowing the filter element to operate effectively under extreme temperatures, high-pressure and corrosive conditions without compatibility issues.
