Advanced Filtration Technology by Linker Screens: Precision Engineering for Gravity Screens, Self-Cleaning Strainers, and Sintered Mesh Solutions

In the world of industrial filtration and separation, efficiency, durability, and precision are key drivers of success. Whether it’s removing impurities from liquids, ensuring consistent particle separation, or optimizing system flow, high-quality filtration components play a vital role in maintaining process stability and productivity. Linker Screens, a globally recognized manufacturer, stands at the forefront of this technology—offering cutting-edge solutions including gravity screens, self-cleaning strainers, and sintered mesh filters.

With decades of expertise, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and a strong commitment to innovation, Linker Screens provides customized filtration solutions for industries such as water treatment, petrochemical, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and mining. Each product is designed to deliver superior performance, low maintenance, and long-term reliability.

Gravity Screen – Simple Design, Powerful Performance

The gravity screen is one of the most effective and energy-efficient tools for liquid-solid separation. Operating solely under the influence of gravity, it requires no mechanical or electrical power, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

A gravity screen works by allowing liquid to flow across a specially designed wedge wire or perforated surface, where solids are captured and separated while clean liquid passes through. The design provides continuous operation and minimal maintenance, which is ideal for wastewater treatment, food processing, and industrial dewatering applications.

Linker Screens manufactures gravity screens using precision-engineered wedge wire panels that provide accurate slot openings and a smooth surface for optimal flow. The unique V-shaped wire structure prevents clogging and ensures consistent throughput.

Key advantages of Linker Screens’ gravity screens include:

• Low energy consumption: Operates without motors or pumps.

• Self-cleaning action: Continuous flow helps prevent blockage.

• Durability: Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

• Custom design: Tailored to specific flow rates, slot sizes, and applications.

Applications of gravity screens extend across industries such as pulp and paper, food processing, sugar production, and wastewater treatment—where they efficiently separate fibrous or solid materials from process water streams.

Self-Cleaning Strainer – Automated Filtration for Continuous Flow

When processes demand uninterrupted operation and minimal manual intervention, a self-cleaning strainer becomes an indispensable component. It is designed to automatically remove trapped particles from the filter surface, ensuring continuous flow without shutdowns for cleaning.

Linker Screens designs self-cleaning strainers that combine intelligent engineering with durable materials to handle even the most challenging filtration environments. These strainers feature a mechanically or hydraulically driven cleaning mechanism that scrapes or flushes away impurities without halting the process flow.

Each Linker Screens self-cleaning strainer is built for:

• High filtration accuracy – Precision slots or perforations that capture fine particles.

• Automatic operation – No need for frequent manual maintenance.

• Extended service life – Resistant to wear, corrosion, and fouling.

• Reduced downtime – Maintains continuous system operation.

The self-cleaning strainers from Linker Screens are suitable for diverse industries:

• Water and wastewater treatment: Preventing clogging in pipelines and protecting downstream equipment.

• Petrochemical processing: Removing solid contaminants from fluids in refineries and reactors.

• Food and beverage: Ensuring hygienic and consistent filtration in production lines.

• Cooling water systems: Protecting pumps, valves, and heat exchangers from debris.

By implementing self-cleaning strainers, industries can significantly reduce operational costs, extend equipment life, and maintain consistent product quality. Linker Screens offers both standard and fully customized designs to meet specific system requirements, including different flow capacities, cleaning cycles, and pressure ratings.

Sintered Mesh – High-Precision, Multi-Layer Filtration

The sintered mesh represents one of the most advanced forms of filtration media, combining mechanical strength, uniform pore size distribution, and excellent permeability. It is created by sintering multiple layers of woven wire mesh together under high temperature and pressure, forming a rigid, porous structure.

Linker Screens produces sintered mesh filters using premium-grade stainless steel and other specialty alloys. The result is a durable, corrosion-resistant material capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures while providing consistent filtration performance.

Key features of Linker Screens’ sintered mesh include:

• Multi-layer construction: Typically composed of five or more woven mesh layers, including a protective layer, filter layer, and support layer.

• Excellent mechanical strength: Maintains structural stability under extreme operating conditions.

• Precise filtration accuracy: Uniform pore sizes for repeatable and reliable results.

• Easy cleaning and reuse: Can be backwashed, ultrasonically cleaned, or regenerated.

The versatility of sintered mesh makes it ideal for:

• Chemical processing: Filtration of catalysts, polymers, and chemical solutions.

• Oil and gas industry: Used in sand control screens, coalescers, and gas filtration.

• Pharmaceutical production: Sterile filtration and drying processes.

• Food and beverage: Purification and separation of ingredients and liquids.

Because of its strength and flexibility, Linker Screens’ sintered mesh can be fabricated into a variety of shapes—such as discs, tubes, cones, and cartridges—to fit specific equipment designs.
