Discover KnitMesh Technologies’ Slosh Baffles

KnitMesh Technologies’ Slosh Baffles are designed to control the movement, or “slosh”, of fuel within a tank, particularly in applications such as aerospace, automotive, and marine industries. These specialised baffles play a crucial role in maintaining stability and safety by preventing excessive movement of fluids, which could affect the performance and handling of the vehicle or equipment.

Crafted using high-quality knitted wire mesh, KnitMesh Technologies’ Slosh Baffles possess exceptional baffle and dampening properties. This unique construction allows for effective control of the fuel movement without significantly impeding the flow, ensuring a balance between stability and functionality.

One of the key advantages of KnitMesh Technologies’ Slosh Baffles is their customisability. They are tailored to meet specific customer requirements, taking into account factors such as tank size, fuel type, and operating conditions. This customised approach ensures that the baffles are optimally designed to deliver the desired performance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Automotive

 

Slosh Baffles are commonly used in fuel tanks of automobiles to reduce sloshing of fuel during acceleration, braking, and cornering, thereby improving vehicle stability and fuel efficiency.

Aerospace

 

Slosh Baffles are utilised in aircraft fuel tanks to minimise fuel movement that can affect the handling and performance of the aircraft, ensuring safer and more efficient flights.

Marine

 

Slosh Baffles are employed in marine fuel tanks to prevent fuel sloshing, which can cause instability and potentially lead to hazardous situations on board ships and boats.

Power Generation

 

Power plants often use Slosh Baffles to control fuel movement within storage tanks, ensuring consistent fuel supply and preventing damage to the tanks caused by excessive sloshing.

Military and Defence

 

Slosh Baffles play a critical role in military vehicles and tanks by reducing fuel sloshing, maintaining vehicle stability, and ensuring that fuel is utilised efficiently during combat operations.

How Knitted Wire Mesh Serves as the Ultimate Liquid Baffle

Knitted wire mesh is a versatile material that serves a multitude of functions across various industries. One of its lesser-known but highly effective uses is as a liquid baffle. A liquid baffle is a device used to control the flow of liquids, allowing for separation, distribution, or containment as needed.

Knitted wire mesh excels in this role due to its unique structure and properties. Composed of interlocking loops of wire, knitted wire mesh forms a flexible yet sturdy barrier that can withstand the pressures and forces exerted by liquid flow. This structure allows the mesh to effectively control the movement of liquids, redirecting them as required.

The key advantage of using knitted wire mesh as a liquid baffle lies in its ability to enhance efficiency and performance. By strategically placing the mesh in a vessel or pipeline, it can prevent splashing, reduce turbulence, and promote an even flow of liquids. This not only improves the overall operation of processes but also minimises the risk of accidents or damage caused by uncontrolled liquid movements.

Furthermore, knitted wire mesh offers customisation options in terms of material, wire diameter, and mesh size, allowing for tailored solutions to specific liquid baffle requirements.
