Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower-grade aluminum for filter components exposed to corrosive fluids.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or equivalent for its proven corrosion resistance in industrial filtration.
Inadequate support structure for larger filter media, leading to deformation.Design robust supporting frames using the stock sheet or complementary materials to prevent structural failure under pressure differentials.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter housing fabrication
  • Screen and sieve construction
  • Perforated plates for fluid separation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when machining or welding.
