Sintered mesh discs for filter-dryers

A filter-dryer disc combines the filtering mesh laminate with a welded ring or frame and the supporting arrangement inside the vessel. Liquid passes through the disc while the retained solids form a cake; the complete process may include washing and drying stages defined by the equipment. The disc diameter, thickness and sealing face must match the vessel drawing. Mesh-layer selection, drainage support and cleaning access should be reviewed separately from the filtration grade. The reference tables provide a starting point for discussion, while the final pressure cycle, assembly limits and inspection requirements are confirmed for the actual filter-dryer.

Filter-dryer / Nutsche disc (YS-FD)Ø 100–3000 mm; 1.7 / 2.5 / 3.5 / 6 / 8 mm1–200−200…+480 °C (316L, air)Multilayer mesh, welded flange ring

Temperatures are limits of the filter medium. The limit of an assembled element is set by its seals, gaskets and joints (elastomer O-rings in 222/226 sockets are much lower) and is confirmed per order. Higher temperatures with other alloys on request.

Reference values only; final specifications are confirmed for each custom order.

Bubble point: ISO 4003-type test; reference range compiled from tests with different wetting liquids (test liquid confirmed per order). Air permeability: ISO 4022-type test at 1000 Pa; “—” = no reference value published, confirmed per order. 1 L/(dm²·min) = 6 m³/(m²·h).

Reference values only; final specifications are confirmed for each custom order.

Cleaning and inspection

Agree cleaning and inspection for the complete disc, including the welded rim, sealing surface, drainage path and the required retention check.
