Fluidizing Media
Fluidizing Media
PMF’s SINTERPORE® media is ideal for fluidized transport and handling of bulk powder materials. SINTERPORE® laminates are permanently bonded under precise diffusion bonding (sintering) conditions to yield robust monolithic materials used in a wide variety of fluidizing applications.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF SINTERPORE® FLUIDIZING MEDIA
The multilayer laminate construction results in a strong product with precisely controlled porosity, uniform pore sizes and distribution. The media provides uniform distribution of gas and air flow for particulate fluidization and aeration.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
- Cleanability
- Heat resistant
- Abrasion resistant
- Easily fabricated
- Uniform flow
- Fixed pore geometry
APPLICATIONS
- Fluidizing beds
- Aerator for hoppers
- Air slides, rolls, and bearings
- Vacuum forming and molding
- Resin and catalyst beds
- Air gravity conveyors
- Flame and spark arrestors
- Spargers



SINTERPORE® sheets can be ordered in most common alloys for corrosion resistance and can be easily cut, punched, sheared, welded and formed like any other sheet steel product to custom fit any application
SPECIFICATIONS
- Standard alloys: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, Alloy20 (also available in Inconel 600 and 625, Monel, and Hastalloy upon request).
- Operating temperature 10000 F.
- Standard sheet sizes: 18” x 48” and 20” x 48”. Custom sizes available upon request. Maximum laminate size without welding is 24”x 60” (larger sheets available with welds, maximum panel width with welds 120”).

MULTI-LAYER DIFFUSION BONDED STRUCTURE
SINTERPORE® is available in 2-layer and 3-layer composite structures depending upon flow requirements. Each layer in the laminate performs a specific function in the structure. Heavy meshes provide strength and support to finer meshes which provide flow distributrion and flow barriers.

ENGINEERED PORE STRUCTURE AND FLOW DYNAMICS
- In addition to the standard SINTERPORE® low perm and high perm media, custom designs can be specified for almost any application. Strength, pore size, porosity, tortuosity, permeabiilty and edge flow resistance all can be designed to a given specification.
