Wire Mesh Elements

We Call These Bird Screens When filtration of visible airborne lint and other large particles is all that is required, and little or no pressure drop is tolerable, Wire Mesh Filters are commonly used to knock down the boulders. Reportedly, 90+% of particles 10µ and larger are viscously impinged onto the layers of oil wetted crimped wire mesh. (you provide the oil) These elements can be field cleaned and re-oiled. They provide a very minimum degree of filtration. We replace metal ended OEM filters or those with no ends at all with our rugged self gasketing urethane molded ends. No gaskets to fool with & a nice fit.

Experience has shown that the air intake filter is perhaps the most important item ensuring the problem free operation of engines, compressors and blowers! Keep in mind that woven wire mesh media is not a very effective filter media. If you'd rather have a real filter with 10µ polyester felt please call. We can fix you up.
