Perforated Metal – Widely Used in Fluid Filter Production

Perforated metal is a perforated metal sheet obtained by punching a variety of hole patterns on the metal sheets. Of which, round and square hole patterns are widely used in filter elements. It can not only act as filter elements in filters, but also serve as the support layer of industrial filters for higher pressure resistance and longer lifespan.

Perforated metal can be made of stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, nickel or other alloys. We can provide customized solutions according to your filtration requirements and working conditions.
