Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh in 316L Stainless Steel (AISI 316L (1.4404)) is used for keeping hair and lint out of the hair dryer motor and heating element at the rear air intake. The alloy gives superior resistance, including chlorides, brines, food CIP and mild acids and is essentially non-magnetic, with a practical service limit of approx. +550 °C continuous.

Ordering Hair Dryer Air Inlet Filter Mesh in 316L Stainless Steel
- 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.
Mistakes to Avoid 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.
