Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh is selected when an assembly or process calls for keeping hair and lint out of the hair dryer motor and heating element at the rear air intake. This application guide to the IEC 60335-2-23 type covers concrete end-uses, the specification checklist, correct installation, and where an alternative mesh or filter medium performs better.
Typical Applications for Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh
Where Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh is specified and bought:
- Hair dryer OEMs: rear intake filters in consumer and salon dryers.
- High-speed dryer makers: micro-etched filters for brushless motors.
- Salon equipment service: replacement intake screens.
- Hair-styling tools: intake screens on air stylers.
How to Specify Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh for Your Application
- Diameter & frame: Match the rear housing and the twist or snap fixing.
- Hole size: 0.10–0.15 mm keeps hair out of high-speed motors.
- Open area: At least 30 % so airflow and motor cooling are not choked.
- Standard: Quote IEC 60335-2-23 and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Twist the filter off and brush lint away weekly.
- Make sure it is dry before refitting.
Common Selection Mistakes with Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh
- Letting the filter clog — the dryer overheats and trips its thermal cut-out.
- Running the dryer without the filter, which draws hair into the motor.
Where Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh Is Not the Right Choice
Not a HEPA air filter and does not clean the room air.
