Compressed Knitted Mesh Panel Filters

Knitted mesh panel filters are layers of compressed knitted wire in a metal frame. They trap oil mist, grease and coarse dust, and can be washed and reused. SMI makes them in standard and custom frame sizes.

Compressed Knitted Mesh Panel Filters

Why use a knitted mesh filter instead of a disposable one?

  • Washable and reusable — lower running cost and less waste.
  • Metal construction handles heat and oil better than paper or synthetic media.
  • Low pressure drop with good holding capacity for oil and grease.

How often should mesh filters be cleaned?

Clean when pressure drop rises or airflow drops noticeably. Wash with hot water and detergent or a degreaser, let dry and reinstall. Replace if the mesh is torn, crushed or corroded.

Which material should I choose?

  • Galvanised: economical for general air filtration.
  • Aluminium: light, common for kitchen and grease filters.
  • Stainless: for heat, moisture or corrosive environments.
