Support Cage Component – Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A cylindrical or pleated structural component designed to provide mechanical support to filter media in cartridge filters, preventing collapse under pressure differentials while allowing optimal fluid flow through the filtration system.

Working Principle

Provides radial and axial support to filter media through its rigid structure, maintaining consistent filtration surface area and preventing media deformation during pressure fluctuations and flow variations.

Materials

Stainless steel (304/316L), galvanized steel, polypropylene, or other corrosion-resistant alloys depending on application requirements.

Technical Parameters

Length 10-40 inches
Diameter 2-12 inches
Mesh Opening 5-25 mm
Wire Diameter 0.5-2.0 mm
Pressure Rating Up to 150 psi
Temperature Range -40°C to 150°C

Standards

ISO 2942, DIN 24550
