Fluidizing Media Products

PMF’s SINTERPORE® fluidizing media is ideal for fluidized transport and handling of bulk powder materials. SINTERPORE® laminates are permanently bonded under precise diffusion bonding (sintering) conditions to yield robust monolithic materials used in a wide variety of fluidizing applications.

SINTERPORE® fluidizing media, multi-layered, diffusion bonded stainless steel mesh is available in 316L and other alloys. This precision fluidising media is available in low and high flow rates, to meet your application requirements.

Porour Metal Filters provides complete fabrication services for this material, including custom sizes, shapes, mounting holes and welding to end fittings or rings. We can also fabricate into tubes or fluidisation cones for hopper bottoms.

For fluidizing applications where a tightly controlled efficiency rating is required, Porous Metal Filters can provide a precision fine filter mesh (down to 2 microns nominal) sintered to the fluidising media.

This is particularly useful in reducing particulate bypass, clogging and when fluidising gas is not flowing constantly. SINTERPORE® fluidizing media is particularly suited to demanding applications where high operating temperatures of up to 540ºC (1000ºF), increased chemical or high abrasion resistance is essential, such as silo discharge cones, fluidized reactors and fluidized dryers.

This material is easily custom engineered to meet required specifications of materials, strength, flow requirements, thickness, micron rating and environment.

Porous Metal Filters Fluidizing Media Products are used in the Bulk and Powder Handling industry and the Pharmaceutical industry.

Heat resistant / high operating temperatures
Application and material versatility
Enhanced chemical resistance
Abrasion resistant
Easily fabricated
Uniform flow
Fixed pore geometry

Fluidizing Media Applications

Fluidizing beds
Aerator for hoppers
Air slides, rolls, and bearings
Vacuum forming and molding
Resin and catalyst beds
Air gravity conveyors
Flame and spark arrestors
Spargers

Fluidizing Media Specifications

Standard alloys: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, Alloy20 (also available in Inconel 600 and 625, Monel, and Hastalloy upon request).
Operating temperature 1000 F.
Standard sheet sizes: 18” x 48” and 20” x 48”. Custom sizes available upon request. Maximum laminate size without welding is 24”x 60” (larger sheets available with welds, maximum panel width with welds 120”).

SINTERPORE® sheets can be ordered in most common alloys for corrosion resistance and can be easily cut, punched, sheared, welded and formed like any other sheet steel product to custom fit any application.

Multi-Layer Diffusion Bonded Structure

SINTERPORE® is available in 2-layer and 3-layer composite structures depending upon flow requirements. Each layer in the laminate performs a specific function in the structure. Heavy meshes provide strength and support to finer meshes which provide flow distributrion and flow barriers.
