All-metal filtration suits small batch operations
All-metal filters perform as a small process filter, with backwash and blowback capabilities for process applications requiring smaller scale filtration solutions, such as in food/beverage industries.
Porous metal developments revealed
Porous metal offers engineers the ability to design around issues that affect other materials such as high temperatures, high pressures, biocompatibility, or corrosive operating environments.
Mott can also assist the OEM user to meet all of the new ATEX Directive requirements.
Porous metal flame arrestors have been manufactured by Mott Corporation for over 40 years.
While allowing the flow of combustible gases in an application, the media prevents ignition sources from transferring to other areas of the device.
The unique properties and tortuous paths inherent to Mott's porous metal devices allow cooling or quenching of a flame front, or dampening of a combustion wave.
Flame arrestors are required devices in potentially volatile process and analytical gas applications to ensure safety.
Examples of applications currently utilizing Mott's flame arrestors include handling of combustible sample gas for analyzers and monitors, pressure equalization for combustible gas pressure regulators, venting for explosion proof enclosures, flashback prevention for welding torches, ignition prevention in gas stacks and storage tank vents, and backfire protection for marine engines and motors.
Mott Corporation has been ISO 9001 certified since 1997 and manufactures a variety of filtration and flow control devices from porous metal.
It serves industrial and high purity customers worldwide through such industries as chemical, instrumentation, polymer, semiconductor, energy, food and beverage, and environmental.
