Rigid tubes are constructed using plastic mesh, which is used to provide an open surface area for trapping particulates as fluid passes through the element. Tubes are designed to house the core, helping to protect it from external forces and contaminates. Cages are then placed around the tube to help support the core while also providing additional structural integrity. Each component plays an important role in helping maximize filtration performance and efficiency.
Our Conwed™ extruded rigid tube and cages are manufactured through a single-step continuous extrusion process that yields a plastic material with integral joints. All of our extruded cylinder tubes have a square mesh netting configuration, and in comparison to seamed netting tubes, extruded cylinder tubes are stronger due to their consistent cylindrical shape, made in one single-step.
Extruded cylinder tubes are generally used to support, contain and separate. Most common applications are in filtration, where extruded cylinder tubes provide strength and rigidity to protect delicate filtration media. Our extruded tubes are manufactured following the same process as our Conwed™ extruded square netting.
