Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and material deformation.Employ specialized metal cutting shears, plasma cutters, or waterjet systems designed for stainless steel to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate sealing of the filter sheet within its housing.Utilize appropriate gasket materials and fastening methods to create a complete seal, preventing bypass and ensuring efficient filtration.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated filter screens
  • Industrial strainers and sieves
  • Chemical processing filtration media

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and cutting the material.
