Framed Filter Disc
Framed Filter Disc | Encased Screen Disc | Edge-Bound Filter Disc Manufacturer
Framed Filter Disc, also known as Encased Screen Disc or Edge-Bound Filter Disc, is a precision-engineered filtration component consisting of a woven or sintered wire mesh disc securely encased within a rigid metal frame or edge ring. The framed structure enhances mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and sealing performance, making it ideal for demanding industrial filtration applications.
Unlike loose filter discs, the edge-bound design prevents mesh deformation, fraying, or bypass leakage under high pressure, vibration, or repeated cleaning cycles. Framed filter discs are widely used in hydraulics, chemical processing, food & beverage filtration, polymer extrusion, pharmaceutical equipment, and OEM filtration systems, where reliability and consistent filtration accuracy are critical.
Available in various materials, micron ratings, frame structures, and customized geometries, Framed Filter Discs are designed to integrate seamlessly into filter housings, cartridges, and assemblies.
Advantages of Framed Filter Mesh Disc
- Enhanced Structural Integrity
The metal frame or edge binding firmly secures the filter mesh, preventing distortion, collapse, or edge damage during operation, installation, or backflushing. - Superior Sealing Performance
Edge-bound construction eliminates unfiltered bypass at the disc perimeter, ensuring all process media passes through the filtration surface. - Extended Service Life
Framed filter discs withstand high differential pressure, thermal cycling, and aggressive process environments, resulting in longer operating life and reduced replacement frequency. - High Filtration Accuracy
Precision mesh selection and controlled edge encapsulation maintain consistent pore size and filtration efficiency. - Easy Installation & Handling
Rigid framed structure allows quick, damage-free installation and removal, particularly in automated or high-maintenance systems. - Broad Material Compatibility
Suitable for corrosive, high-temperature, hygienic, and food-grade applications through proper material selection. - Customizable Design
Diameter, thickness, mesh layers, frame type, and bonding method can be fully customized to meet specific OEM or system requirements.
