1. SUPERIOR FILTER MEDIA
FROM METAULLICS
It gives you the benefits of clean aluminium – reliably and
economically.
Molten aluminium normally contains various solid-phase
inclusions, such as oxides, borides, carbides and spinels, and
refractory particles from vessel erosion. If allowed to remain,
these contaminants adversely affect the characteristics of the
metal in its final, solidified form.

Effective filtering of molten (liquid) aluminium removes these
contaminants and can also reduce inclusion-nucleated porosity.
This not only improves product quality and lowers the reject rate,
creating additional profit to cover the cost of filtration. In fact,
filtration always adds value—never just cost!
However, with some commercially available filters, problems like
rapid head build-up, sudden contaminant release (dumping), filter
breakage and even ineffective or unreliable filtration can occur.
Precaution requires the use of superior media, plus special know-
how and applications expertise to lower the effective cost of
aluminium filtration and achieve maximum benefit.
