Sintered metal filter (SMF®)

Structure:

• Thin plates of fine-grained sintered metal are formed into pockets.
• A ribbed metal mesh stabilises the pockets from within.
•  One filter element consists of several pockets.

Filtration principle:

• SMF® combines deep bed and wall flow filtration methods.
• The gas flows through the pockets from the outside to the inside.
• Particulate (soot and ash) accumulates in the porous structure and on the surfaces of the pockets.

Separation rate:

• The guaranteed separation rate is 95%, measured as almost 100%.

Coating:

• A catalytic coating is possible as well.

Special features :

• The SMF® possesses an extremely high ash storage capacity, enabling long cleaning intervals.
• A high-pressure cleaner can be used for simple cleaning.
