KnitMesh Technologies’ Casting Filters, also known as Foundry Filters, are designed to support cleaner, more controlled alloy casting. Made from high-quality knitted wire mesh and available in the process alloy or other suitable alloys, these filters help remove impurities from molten metal, stop solid alloy fragments from entering the mould, and keep the alloy flowing smoothly during the mould filling process.
The knitted mesh structure is central to their performance. It provides strength, flexibility, and stability, allowing the filters to cope with the intense heat and abrasion that occur during casting. This combination ensures effective filtration without restricting metal flow, helping foundries reduce defects and achieve more consistent results.
KnitMesh Technologies can tailor each filter to suit specific casting needs, including mesh density, alloy type, and dimensions. Compared to many traditional filter materials, these metallic filters offer a long-lasting, cost-effective option that stands up well to thermal shock, impact, and repeated use.
In industrial processes where the filtration of liquids and gases is crucial, having the right materials can significantly impact efficiency and overall quality. One material that has proven to be highly effective in boosting filtration efficiency is knitted wire mesh.
Knitted wire mesh is specifically designed to provide superior filtration capabilities. Its unique structure, created by interlocking wire in a precise pattern, results in a high surface area with tiny spaces or pores. These characteristics make knitted wire mesh ideal for capturing impurities and contaminants during the filtration process.
The key to its efficiency lies in the precise control of pore size and density. This ensures that particles of various sizes are effectively captured, making it a reliable solution for microfiltration needs. This ability to capture contaminants with a high capture rate makes knitted wire mesh an efficient choice for a wide range of industrial filtration applications.
Furthermore, knitted wire mesh is highly customisable, allowing for tailored solutions to meet specific filtration requirements. It can be manufactured using different metals such as stainless steel, copper, and aluminium, making it suitable for diverse industrial needs.
