Uma kuqhathaniswa nesihlungi se-60-mesh, isihlungi se-80-mesh singcono. Inombolo yemeshi ivamise ukuvezwa ngokwenani lezimbobo ngeyintshi ngayinye emhlabeni, futhi abanye bazosebenzisa usayizi wembobo ngayinye enezikhala. Ukuze uthole isihlungi, inombolo yemeshi inombolo yezimbobo esikrinini iyintshi yesikwele ngayinye. Inombolo yemeshi Ukuphakama kwenombolo yemeshi, kuba nezimbobo eziningi ezinezikhala, nokuhlunga kuhle kakhulu; ukuncipha kwenombolo yemeshi, kuba mbalwa izimbobo ezinezikhala, futhi kucwebezela kube lukhuni.
I-mesh yesihlungi, ebizwa ngokuthi i-filter mesh, yenziwe ngensimbi enezikhala ezihlukene. Ngokuvamile ihlukaniswe nge-mesh yokuhlunga yensimbi kanye ne-textile fiber filter mesh. Umsebenzi wawo ukuhlunga ukugeleza kwezinto ezincibilikisiwe futhi kwandiswe ukumelana nokugeleza kwezinto, ngaleyo ndlela kuzuzwe ukuhlunga. Ingasusa ukungcola kwemishini futhi ithuthukise umphumela wokuxuba noma ukwenza ipulasitiki. Isihlungi sinezici ezifana nokumelana nezinga lokushisa, ukumelana ne-asidi, ukumelana ne-alkali, nokumelana nokugqoka. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ku-petroleum, embonini yamakhemikhali, ekwenziweni kwemishini nakwezinye izimboni.
