Metal etching filters and strainers can achieve complex and intricate shapes, and unlike wire mesh strainers, they do not have issues with line overlap, damage, or opening size.
**Advantages of Etching Filters and Strainers**
- High design flexibility, allowing for intricate shapes.
- Unlike wire mesh strainers, there are no overlapping lines, resulting in a flat surface.
- No clogging of openings.
- Reduced risk of foreign material contamination due to wire breakage.
In photo-etching processing, metal thin sheets are shaped into desired forms through a photographic plate-making process combined with the dissolving action of etching solutions.
There is no need for expensive molds like in press processing, and there are no burrs or work hardening, allowing for fine patterns at the micron level.
● Photo-Etching Processing
Manufacturing of filters and strainer products made from highly corrosion-resistant metals such as stainless steel (SUS).
● Nickel Electroforming Processing
In addition to etching, fine-pore filters and strainers with vertical cross-sections are produced through electroforming.
Etching + composite processing (bending, diffusion bonding, surface treatment) is also available.
Application Fields
Electronics and electrical components, automotive parts, medical devices, food industry, etc.
At Meltec, we process a wide range of products from metal strainers for the automotive industry to coffee filters for commercial machines.
