Blasch Launches Cleen-Flo™ Line of Ceramic Foam Filters
A new line of high performance, competitively priced ceramic foam filters (designed for filtering impurities from liquid metals) has been introduced by Blasch Precision Ceramics (Albany, NY, USA).Blasch's new Cleen-Flo™ filters are available in three materials: alumina, for use with aluminium and aluminium alloys; zirconia, for use with stainless steels and nickel alloys; and silicon carbide, for use with grey iron, ductile iron, precious metals, copper, bronze, brass and investment casting.
All of the materials are available in square, round and custom geometric shapes with sizes ranging from 10mm up to 600mm, and thicknesses from 10mm to 50mm. Pore densities from 8-60 pores per inch are available. Filters can be ordered with or without a ceramic felt gasket or ceramic glaze around the perimeter.
The new Blasch filters, which are claimed to frequently cost 20%-25% less than similar products, offer a number of advantages, including:
· High thermal and chemical stability which avoids any reaction with the molten metal being filtered.
· High mechanical strength.
· Large specific surface area for greater efficiency.
· Low pressure loss.
· Smooth metal flow to prevent spray, splatter and backset.
