Metal Mesh Pleated Filter Cartridge Supplier
What is Polymer Melt Pleated Filter ?
Polymer melt pleated filter is the technical term for stainless steel metal mesh pleated filter. Polymer filter is a kind of pleated wire mesh candle filter, it is constructed from stainless steel woven mesh or sintered metal fiber media, and manufactured via welding and pleating processes. High-alloy materials such as Hastelloy and Monel are also available.
The key advantage of Huahang pleated metal mesh filter is large filtration area. The pleated design of stainless steel wire mesh greatly expands effective surface area, boosting the pleated metal filter’s dirt-holding capacity. At the same time, the metal material and welding technology can make the filter cartridge withstand extreme temperature and pressure, and it is also suitable for high viscosity and corrosive liquids.
Metal Woven Mesh Pleated Filter
Stainless steel wire mesh filter, also named polymer melt pleated filter cartridge. It is made of metal wire mesh that has been folded multiple times, the whole cartridge using the metal welding technology. So its main feature is large filter area, high flow rate, and high-strength.

Sintered Felt Pleated Filter
After folding the protective mesh sintered felt material multiple times, the filtration area of the metal mesh filter element will be increased significantly. And using sintered felt as the filter material for folding filter elements allows for a wider range of accuracy options for the filter element.

Strength Frame Pleated Filter
Huahang add a high thickness stainless steel square hole plate as a support layer of the metal pleated mesh filter elements. That will make the stainless steel mesh filter cartridges have a higher mechanical strength and extend the metal filter's service lifespan.

Process of Produce Pleated Metal Mesh Filter
Metal Mesh Row Material
The filter material of polymer pleated filter usually is stainless steel wire mesh or stainless steel sintered fiber felt.
Multi-Layer Folded Filter Material
Pleated the metal mesh filter material through a pleating machine, and the filtration area and flow rate are controlled by adjusting the number and height of the pleats.
Longitudinal Seam Welding
Commonly used laser welding and plasma welding, ensuring no clogging of holes and no deformation.
Finished Product Packaging
Multi-layered cardboard boxes are typically used for packaging, wooden crates and pallets are also available.
Performance Testing
Appearance and dimensional inspection, filtration accuracy testing, bubble point testing, differential pressure testing
End Caps Welding
Different types of end caps can be selected, welded to the filter cartridge to form an integral sealed structure
Why Choose Huahang Polymer Pleated Filter ?
The polymer melt pleated filter uses a pleated stainless steel wire mesh structure to provide a much larger filtration surface area than standard cylindrical screens. This design improves flow rate, increases dirt holding capacity, and reduces pressure drop. It is ideal for high viscosity polymer melt filtration in extrusion and spinning lines.
Made from 304 or 316L stainless steel mesh, the Huahang metal mesh pleated filter element performs reliably under high temperature and high pressure operating conditions. It withstands the extreme pressure caused by molten polymer viscosity and maintains stable filtration efficiency. This makes it suitable for polymer melt candle filter systems in plastics processing.
Stainless steel pleated candle filters offer strong corrosion resistance against aggressive polymer additives and chemical environments. For special working conditions, Hastelloy or Monel alloy options are available. The durable metal filter media provides long service life and consistent filtration performance, reducing downtime in chemical fiber, textile, and plastic production industries.
Unlike disposable filter cartridges, Huahang polymer melt pleated filters are washable and reusable, helping reduce operating cost. They can be cleaned by chemical solvent cleaning, abrasive cleaning, or thermal burning methods. This reusable metal mesh filter cartridge is widely used in polymer melt filtration systems where continuous production and stable melt purity are required.
