Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning before installation, leading to particulate contamination.Thoroughly degrease and rinse the sheet with deionized water before installation. Use lint-free cloths.
Uneven clamping or fastening, causing sheet distortion and compromising filtration efficiency.Utilize a calibrated torque wrench to ensure consistent and appropriate clamping pressure across all fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Liquid Filtration
  • Chemical Processing Sieves
  • Food and Beverage Strainers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn during handling, including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or chloride-rich environments, which may affect long-term corrosion resistance.
