Unlike mesh, wedge wire, or mechanically punched screens, which are typically mass produced to fixed aperture sizes, ActionLaser designs and manufactures fully custom laser-drilled filtration screens. Customers are not limited to standard configurations. Instead, screens are engineered specifically to suit the process conditions of each application.

ActionLaser can adjust aperture size, geometry, percentage open area, screen thickness, material grade, and overall screen shape. In many cases, multiple screen specifications are evaluated to determine the configuration that best optimises flow, separation performance, wear behaviour, and operating stability. This flexibility allows filtration solutions to be tuned to the process, rather than forcing the process to adapt to a standard screen.

Laser-drilled screens can also be chrome coated to extend service life, reduce vibration, and improve power efficiency in demanding applications. This level of surface engineering is generally not available with mesh, wedge wire, or mechanically punched screens.

In addition, all ActionLaser filtration screens are custom manufactured with non-perforated borders, allowing effective Clean-In-Place (CIP) and safe clamping without exposed apertures. This helps reduce contamination risk and supports reliable, hygienic operation over long production campaigns.

Laser-drilled stainless steel filtration screens provide precisely controlled, uniform apertures that maintain their geometry under mechanical load, thermal cycling, and abrasive conditions. This stability supports consistent flow and reliable separation performance across demanding industrial processes.

Traditional mesh and wedge wire screens can deform, fray, or clog over time, leading to fluctuating flow rates and inconsistent filtration. By contrast, laser-drilled screens retain their aperture geometry, helping maintain cleaner flow paths and reducing the likelihood of blockages.

Where required, laser-drilled screens may also be chrome coated to extend service life in harsh operating environments. The combination of precise aperture control, robust stainless steel construction, and optional surface treatment results in longer operating life and more predictable filtration performance compared with traditional screen types.

How small can the apertures in ActionLaser’s stainless steel filtration screens be engineered for fine separation?
ActionLaser regularly produces laser-drilled apertures below 35 microns and can achieve tighter tolerances depending on the application and material requirements. This level of precision supports industries requiring fine particle control, including sugar processing, waste water , and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The stability of these small apertures allows consistent separation performance over long production cycles, helping reduce variation and support product quality in demanding processes.

In parallel, ActionLaser is undertaking co-funded research and development in advanced manufacturing technology, supported by the Australian Government’s Industry Growth Fund. This work is focused on commercialising next-generation laser drilling capability, with the goal of achieving a world-first ability to laser drill sub-30 micron aperture slots and 20 micron holes on an industrial scale at a competitive cost.

What stainless steel materials are available for ActionLaser’s precision filtration screens?
ActionLaser uses high-grade stainless steel materials selected for their strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with specific process chemicals. Material selection varies depending on operating temperature, cleaning methods, abrasion levels, and overall process conditions.

Depending on the application, screens may be supplied chrome coated or, in some cases, as non-chromed stainless steel. The choice is driven by process requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring the surface finish aligns with wear, chemical exposure, and operational priorities.

The combination of stainless steel grade and surface treatment directly influences filtration reliability, operating stability, and screen lifespan. ActionLaser’s engineering team works closely with customers to recommend the most suitable material and finish for each application.

Tapered apertures provide a wider exit path through the screen, encouraging smoother material release and more stable flow. This geometry helps reduce shear forces, limits fines lodging within the aperture, and minimises the likelihood of clogging during operation. As a result, flow remains more consistent across long production runs, supporting reliable separation performance.

Because material is less likely to bridge or accumulate within the aperture, tapered laser-drilled screens are often referred to as self-cleaning in many applications. This can reduce cleaning frequency and help maintain stable operating conditions.

Where required, chrome coating of the stainless steel working face further enhances performance by producing a sharp, well-defined aperture edge. In applications involving the separation of solids from a mother liquor, this sharp edge supports clean release of valuable solids, contributing to improved yield, while allowing rapid drainage of the liquor without clogging.

We use advanced optical measurement technology to scan thousands of apertures across each screen. This ensures that every aperture meets the specification rather than relying on limited sampling. Consistent geometry is essential for predictable performance. The result is a filtration surface that behaves the same from edge to edge.

Yes. ActionLaser manufactures laser-drilled filtration screens in a wide range of custom shapes, including flat panels, cylinders, cones, and curved geometries, depending on equipment and process requirements. This allows seamless integration into centrifuges, fluidised beds, dryers, recycling extruders, and custom OEM housings.

Custom-shaped screens are often laser drilled with non-perforated borders, allowing effective Clean-In-Place (CIP) without exposed apertures at clamping or sealing points. This supports hygienic operation, safe installation, and reliable mechanical stability.

The ability to laser drill precise apertures into complex shapes with non-perforated borders is a key advantage over lower-cost mesh, wedge wire, or mechanically punched screens, which are typically limited to standard forms and apertures. Custom geometry helps optimise flow behaviour, improve structural integrity, and extend the range of applications ActionLaser can support.

Many customers achieve multiple years of consistent performance because the apertures resist wear and deformation. Stainless steel construction withstands repeated stress from vibration, abrasion and temperature cycling. This improves reliability compared to traditional filters.
