FUJIFLO elements are made of uniformly distributed porous metal plate with a degree of accuracy in the micron range. The precision steel mesh is laminated and sintered to form a multilayer plate and then press-rolled to obtain accurate control of air flow properties and give a smooth finish to the surface.
FUJIFLO offers outstanding durability (heat resistance, pressure resistance, and corrosion resistance), and it is machinable in the same way as ordinary metal plate. Thus, it can be cut and welded. It also offers the added advantage of being washable, and so it can be used semi-permanently.
Applications
- Air Fluidizing : Gives smooth transportation of powder or film owing to the uniform air permeability Aerator, Air roll, Air Bearing (Static pressure bearing), Air slider
- Sparging : Gives minute uniform bubble sparging effect for air or gas in liquids Chemical reactor filters, Filters to promote micro-organism growth
- Vacuum Molding : When FUJIFLO is used to extract air from sand molds, a firm sand mold is obtained instantly, and when the air is once again allowed to return to the mold, the sand returns to its former state.
