Sintered filters
Versatile silencers
For many years, we have specialized in sinter filters, also known as sintered silencers. Sinter filters are indispensable components in numerous industrial applications.
At THN, you will find a wide range of top quality sinter filters made of bronze and stainless steel (SS) with close tolerances.
What are sintered filters?
Sintered filters are manufactured by sintering fine metal powder under high pressure. This process results in a porous material with precisely controlled permeability.
Thanks to a porous structure, they offer excellent filtration and sound attenuation while withstanding high temperatures and pressure differences. This makes the filters ideal for applications where liquids or gases need to be filtered, distributed, secured attenuated.
Our sintered filters are available in different filter finenesses:
- Stainless steel sintered filters: 0.5 to 200 µm
- Bronze sinter filters: 0.8 to 200 µm
Custom sintered filters
The growing demand for custom sintered filters means that a major proportion of the sintered filters that THN supplies are customized. We work closely with our customers to design and develop sintered filters that meet their exacting specifications. Would you like to know what we can do for you with custom sintered filters.

Applications of sintered filters
Sintered filters can be used for a wide range of applications. Broadly speaking, there are five categories. Sintered filters can be used for: protecting, filtering and separating, dispersing, throttling and dampening, equalizing.
Characteristics of sintered filters are:
The main characteristics of sintered filters are:
- High temperature resistance
- Thermal stability
- Good resistance to corrosion
- High mechanical strength
- Flexible design
- Self-supporting molded sections suitable for high pressure differentials
Materials of sintered filters
SIKA-B: These are sintered porous bronze parts produced from spherical bronze powder. These items are highly corrosion resistant, are characterized by a high structural stability and strength, they are self-supporting and suitable for high pressure differentials.
SIKA-R: These are sintered porous SS parts produced from irregularly shaped SS powder, generally AISI 316L. They are stronger than bronze filters because of the powder's irregular shape. They are also suitable for higher temperatures.
