Custom Round Precision Etched Metal Mesh Filter Disc

Round Filter Disc Overview

Xinhaisen manufactures custom round metal mesh filter discs using photochemical etching. The openings are formed directly in a metal sheet according to a designed pattern, allowing the aperture shape, spacing and overall disc dimensions to be tailored to the application.

The product shown has a circular mesh area and a surrounding rim. It is an example of a custom design; the final structure and dimensions should be confirmed from the customer's drawing. These discs can be considered for equipment that needs a specified metal opening pattern within a compact, round component.

What Is Photochemical Etching?

Photochemical etching uses a patterned resist and controlled chemical processing to remove selected areas of a metal sheet. It can produce detailed openings without the cutting force or heat associated with some mechanical and thermal processes. The achievable dimensions depend on the material, thickness and design, so each drawing is reviewed before production.

Round Filter Disc Features

• Custom Circular Design: The outside diameter, mesh area and surrounding rim can be designed for the intended assembly.
• Designed Aperture Pattern: Opening shape, size, spacing and layout can be specified in the drawing.
• One-Piece Metal Mesh Area: Openings are etched into a metal sheet rather than formed by interlacing separate wires.
• Fine Detail Capability: Photochemical etching can produce detailed patterns in suitable metal thicknesses, subject to engineering review.
• Flexible Development: Drawings or samples can be used to discuss prototypes and production requirements.

Round Filter Disc Specifications

Potential Applications

Equipment Filtration

Can be designed as a metal filter element for equipment requiring a specified opening pattern. Filtration suitability must be evaluated against the required particle size, flow rate and operating conditions.

Flow Distribution

A designed array of openings may help distribute liquid or gas within a compatible assembly. The pattern can be discussed according to the customer's flow requirements.

Protective Openings

A round metal mesh component may be used where an opening needs a physical barrier while allowing passage through the designed apertures.

Custom Device Components

The disc shape, mesh pattern and edge structure can be developed for a specific device or assembly. Material and performance requirements should be provided for engineering review.

FAQ

Q1: Can the diameter and mesh area be customized?
A: Yes. Please provide a drawing showing the outside diameter, effective mesh area and any edge or mounting requirements.

Q2: Can you make different hole shapes?
A: Round holes, slots and other two-dimensional opening patterns can be discussed. Feasibility depends on the material thickness, aperture dimensions and spacing.

Q3: Is the pictured rim included in every filter disc?
A: No. The pictured product is one design example. The rim and edge structure should be defined in the customer's drawing.

Q4: What information do you need for a quotation?
A: Please send the drawing or sample, material, thickness, outside diameter, aperture size and pitch, required quantity and intended application.

Q5: Can you confirm a minimum aperture size or tolerance from the photo?
A: No. These values cannot be determined from a product photo. Our engineering team will review the drawing and confirm what can be manufactured.

Custom Round Metal Mesh Discs

Xinhaisen can review CAD files, PDF drawings, samples or written specifications for custom round metal mesh discs. Please include the operating environment and any important filtration, flow or assembly requirements so that the material and design can be assessed together.
