Micropore Technology produces filtration media that passes straight through, from one side of the filter to
the other. Our filtration media does not rely on depth filtration mechanisms to remove particles,
it really does sieve suspended solids, and drops, from a fluid. The picture shows an example of our slotted
filter media, where we can provide media with slot widths of as low as 2 microns. For filtration to sizes less
than this, we can supply an alternative media, pr a system using a slotted filter followed by a polishing filter.
Many different types of filter geometry are possible,
but the filter tube is the most common and it is possible to provide surface finishes,
such as gold - as shown on the home page.
One interesting application of the filters due to this true surface filtering effect is the ability of them to
fractionate
particles in to different sizes. This has been successfully achieved with particles down to 2 microns - well beyond
the range of conventional sieves.

This explains the true meaning of pore size in filters.

Circular pores are available with diameters of 2 microns, or more.
The pores are uniform and in a regular
array

This is the conventional type of microfiltration membrane, with a tortuous pore flow channel. We do not normally
recommend them for applications where a suitable surface filter is available, but we can supply sintered ceramic
filters with equivalent pore sizes of down to below 1 micron.
The sintered ceramic membrane filters are completely interchangeable with the slotted membranes on the VibraFilter platform.
