7. FILTER PUMP<br />

• Provides first-stage filtration in central<br />

melting or re-melt furnaces<br />

• Transfer filtered metal between<br />

furnaces<br />

• Fill ladles without entraining re-melt<br />

furnace sludge or dross<br />

• Minimise superheat required to<br />

accommodate tap and transfer time<br />

lags<br />

• Overcome barriers to gravity flow<br />

• Prevent carry-over of sludge and other<br />

re-melt debris<br />

• <strong>Filter</strong> life dependent on usage and<br />

overall metal cleanliness<br />

8. STALK TUBE FILTER<br />

• Direct filtration each cycle in low<br />

pressure casting<br />

• Significant reduction in inclusion-related<br />

scrap for cast wheels and other high<br />

performance castings<br />

• Many shapes and designs available to<br />

accommodate stalk (riser) tube and LP<br />

furnace designs<br />

• <strong>Filter</strong> life can be matched to stalk tube<br />

life if cast iron or fused silica is used.<br />

<strong>Filter</strong> can be changed without damaging<br />

higher performance ceramic stalk tubes<br />

• Resists erosion of stalk tube during<br />

mold filling<br />

9. CYLINDER FILTER<br />

• Used with low pressure casting<br />

furnaces in wheel and other<br />

automotive production<br />

• Surrounds stalk tube, does not require<br />

connection and does not depend on<br />

stalk tube life or change-out<br />

• Easily maintained<br />

• 8-12 week filter life for maximum<br />

filtration economy<br />

10. CRUCIBLE BAFFLE FILTER<br />

• Separates pour-in section from ladling<br />

or dip-out section<br />

• Achieves filtered product quality in<br />

casting crucibles and when melting and<br />

casting from the same crucible if metal<br />

level and temperature are maintained<br />

relatively constant<br />

• Useful when space constraints do not<br />

permit use of MBF<br />

• <strong>Filter</strong> held in position with fixed lugs on<br />

crucible ID<br />

• <strong>Filter</strong> change-out and crucible re-use<br />

are attained with minimal effort<br />

11. DOSING FURNACE FILTER<br />

• Creates filtration directly in dosing<br />

furnaces<br />

• <strong>Filter</strong>s installed onto the ceramic<br />

dosing tube with special gasketing<br />

• Nominal 3-5 week life<br />

• Spent filters removable from dosing<br />

tube for dosing tube re-use.<br />
