Why not use traditional metal wire mesh filters nowdays

Galvanized steel or iron wire mesh filters are used for low pressure castings filtration in the past days, especially for aluminum alloy wheels. The wire mesh filters are cost effective, with good strength and flexible on shapes and sizes.

What is the disadvantages of wire mesh filter?

Firstly, Large quantity of Fe element will be added to the aluminum castings, which will casue the castings mechanical strength to be lower. Especially for high quality standard, this means critical.

Secondly, for risers containing wire mesh filters after solidification, it can not remelted directly to furnace, even after the treatment. They can not be recycled to reuse and have to be sold as scrapIt's great waste.

So, more and more foundry factories choose a new and better material to perfectly replace it due to the disadvantages of wire mesh filter.

That is Fiberglass mesh filter.

Significant Feature:

1. It is specially designed and woven for molten aluminum filtration. 

2. High twisted yarns are used to control strand diameters and resist flattening or distortion under pressure from contact with molten metal.

3. The integrity of theweave pattern is maintained by the use of phenolic resin and leno or Plain construction in high density.

4. High temperature carbonized treatment.

5. There is no any metal element mixing during filtration.

6. The liquid after filtration can be recycled again.

7. All shapes can be customized according to clients' requirements.
