Metal filters are used primarily in commercial and industrial/OEM applications. In some applications the goal is to protect downstream components from particulate matter. In other cases, a metal filter can be used to separate, or screen one substance from another. Whether your specific application calls for removing unwanted contaminants from fluid or air, protecting expensive process equipment, or simply separating one material from another, Porous Metal Filters can manufacture a custom metal made to order filter for your exact specifications from wire cloth, perforated metal, or expanded metal. Custom fabricated made to order filters can deliver the perfect size dimensions and performance characteristics desired.

Porous Metal Filters quality products are well known, established, and valued by our customers. Successful technology and development management have enabled Porous Metal Filters and the Dorstener Group to improve market positions and penetrate new, often adjacent segments. And as far as new applications, new materials, and new production techniques for wire and mesh products are concerned, the possibilities are far from exhausted.

Our engineers can help with the success of your metal filtration product.  The Dorstener Group has been manufacturing custom engineered parts such as wire cloth filters, expanded metal strainers and fabricated perforated metal strainer and filter components for 100 years. We understand how various welds, materials and designs work with different applications.

Our team will work with your engineers to provide made to order filter design assistance or help develop prototypes for any style of metal filtration device imaginable. We have helped turn thousands of ideas into working metal strainer filters, strainers and screens for a wide range of industries. PMF utilizes a collaborative process where our team interacts with your engineering staff every step of the way. Those steps include:

• Carefully reviewing your drawings and material selections.
• Recommending design or material options that deliver better performance and the most cost-effective finished product possible.

Metal filters can be formed using a variety of techniques. The specifics of your filtration requirement – particles size, GPM flow rate, contact liquid as well as the physical space limitations into which the filter must fit, all affect the construction type and the filter end formation.
