Properties of woven mesh

Woven metal mesh has various properties that make it suitable for precise and demanding industrial applications. Finely woven mesh offers high filtration precision, allowing impurities to be efficiently removed from liquids and powders. When the mesh is electrolytically polished, it creates a very smooth surface with minimal surface tension. This ensures that product residues are less likely to adhere and that the material remains hygienic, which makes cleaning considerably easier. In addition, woven mesh can be constructed from multiple layers, creating a modular filter system with variable permeability and selective separation of different fractions in the production process. The material is also used in single-use processing, where it can serve as a recyclable alternative to traditional filters, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable process.

Applications and products

Applications

Woven mesh in the pharmaceutical industry is usually made from high-quality materials that are specially designed to meet the requirements of the sector:

  • Stainless steel 316/316L: This stainless steel is known for its high chemical and thermal resistance and is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. It is also food-safe and highly corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for applications where hygiene, durability and reliability are essential.
  • Filtration: Woven mesh is used to remove contaminants and unwanted particles from liquids, powders and gases. Thanks to its precise mesh size, the mesh can be tailored to specific filtration requirements, for example in pharmaceutical processes where high purity is required.
  • Air distribution and sterilisation: In sterile environments, woven mesh is used to precisely control and distribute laminar airflows. This contributes to controlled and clean air circulation in cleanrooms, for example.
  • Carrier for active coatings: Metal mesh can be coated with antibacterial or catalytic coatings. This allows the material to play an active role in filtration and process installations and increase the effectiveness of the process.
  • Flexibility and durability: Woven mesh is fully cleanable and sterilisable and retains its structure during intensive use. This makes it suitable for long-term applications in sectors where hygiene and reliability are essential.

 

Product possibilities, but not limited to:

  • Filters for liquids, powders and gases: Mesh filters are used in pharmaceutical and chemical processes to purify and separate different media with a high degree of precision.
  • Sieve elements in production processes: Woven mesh is used in sieving systems to separate or classify materials during various stages of the production process.
  • Screening and sorting systems: In the production of medicines, woven mesh is used to sort powders and granules by size. This ensures consistent separation and contributes to stable product quality.
  • Components for reactors and process systems: Woven mesh can serve as a supporting medium in reactors or as part of catalyst systems. It can also function as a buffer layer to protect vulnerable materials.
  • Hygienic mesh components: Stainless steel woven mesh is used in applications where sterility and hygiene are crucial. The material is corrosion-resistant, resistant to high temperatures and easy to clean and sterilise.
