Wire Mesh Demisters

The wire mesh demister is mainly composed of a wire mesh, a wire mesh grid, a wire mesh block, and a support device for fixing the wire mesh block. The wire mesh is a gas-liquid filter mesh made of various materials. The gas-liquid filter mesh is made of metal wire or Made of non-metal wire. The non-metallic wire of the gas-liquid filter is made of multiple strands of non-metallic fibers, or it can be a single strand of non-metallic wire. The wire mesh demister can not only filter out larger liquid droplets suspended in the air flow, but also filter out smaller and microscopic liquid droplets.

Wire mesh demisters are widely used when is required to separate liquid droplets from a gas flowrate.This kind of separators are made by an alveolar structure of wire mesh obtained by the superposition of different layers of tubular sock. This sock is woven with very thin wires (usually with a diameter smaller than 0.3 mm) which allows a structure with high free volume (usually > 95%), a wide active surface with a low density of the mesh for material and cost savings.

The wire mesh demisters also have ring tape, chevron tape and withdrawable tape, and have PTFE materials tape.
