SintAbond™ Sintered Filters and Components
SintAbond™ is a series of world class precision engineered porous metallic and polymeric filters, components, and filter media manufactured from various metallic and polymeric materials. Our commitment to continuous product and material development, offers a dynamic approach to designing and producing outstanding porous filters and components.
Sintering is the fusion bonding of tangent particles and materials using a combination of thermal treatment and pressure to produce a coherent, stable form with mechanical integrity.
Precision, efficiency and versatility – SintAbond™ offers advanced features resulting in enhanced durability and stability. High permeability and precise pore structures for liquid and gas filtration, flow resistance for fluidising and sound attenuation for silencing. The SintAbond™ series of specialised components and parts deliver consistent and reliable performance.
Cleanability is a significant advantage of CFL SintAbond™ filters and components, offering extended service life and repeat use.
Continuous research and development in manufacturing techniques and materials, allows CFL to serve demanding industries such as nuclear, aerospace, defence and oil and gas.
The Range of SintAbond™ Filters and Components
The versatile nature of the CFL SintAbond™ series of porous materials, allows us to offer complexed fabricated and custom manufactured parts with dimensional precision.
SintAbond™ PMET – Sintered Metallic Powder
SintAbond™ PMET is a proven, reliable, long-lasting sintered powder media, offering efficient particle removal, flow control, sound attenuation, and gas/liquid contacting benefits. CFL’s strictly-controlled sintering processes produce uniformly sized pores in micron ratings of 0.3 to 100.
Metallic particles of defined shape and size are pre-formed and then metallurgically bonded. The interstices between the sintered particles form a permanent permeable structure of pores, whose size and distribution depend on the raw material, pressing technique and the sintering process.
Filter elements, discs and shapes are standard in 304/304L, 316/316L, 310, 904L, titanium and alloys C276, C22 and 600. Other specialist materials are available depending on product form and quantity.
SintAbond™ MESH – Sintered Metallic Mesh
SintAbond™ MESH is a versatile sintered porous wire mesh media offering exceptional compressive and inherent mechanical strength, resistance to thermal load and intuitive regenerative properties. A versatile material that can be fabricated into many shapes and forms.
Multiple layers of woven wire mesh and supporting substrates, such as perforated metal, are laminated using a vacuum diffusion bonding process. This process combines heat and pressure to permanently bond multiple layers of individual meshes and supporting structures, offering a high performance media.
SintAbond™ MESH is available in a wide range of specifications and thicknesses. The unique flexibility of our manufacturing processes allows us to offer multi layered sintered mesh parts up to 200 mm thick and absolute filter ratings of 1000 to 1 micron as standard.
SintAbond™ SBP – Sintered Spherical Bronze
SintAbond™ SBP is a range of sintered spherical bronze powder parts and components. Specialist tooling and a defined range of proprietary powders enable us to produce a variety of self supporting robust porous parts. The flexibility of SintAbond™ SBP lends itself well to many geometric forms.
CFL sintering processes fusion bonded spherical powder at a temperature below its melting point to form a permanent coherent structure of pores. This pioneering production technique offers many advantages including, excellent drainage, precise porosity, good permeability, dimensional accuracy and consistent repeatability.
Strictly controlled sintering processes produce high quality seamless parts in ratings of 2 to 150 micron nominal.
SintAbond™ PM – Sintered Polymeric
SintAbond™ PM porous polymeric parts and components are produced using carefully controlled thermal treatment and precise processing technology.
CFL proprietary polyethene and polypropylene powder grades offer parts with varying porosity and geometry, suitable for various applications.
Materials are available as finished moulded parts including, plates, discs and cylinders or fabricated parts complete with thermally bonded fittings, rings and caps. Parts are available with additive and surface enhancements for specialist applications, including hydrophilic treatments and colourants.
SintAbond™ HPF – High Pressure Parts
SintAbond™ HP filters are mechanically robust custom manufactured filters and parts, engineered with a focus on application specific requirements, reliability and system integrity. CFL specialist filters and components are designed to achieve optimal performance and reliability in high temperature and high pressure environments.
