Pressed Ceramic Filter

Pressed ceramic filters or cellular ceramic filters are used for filtering ferrous and non-ferrous castings. Pressed ceramic filters are produced by taking refractory materials and either extruding or pressing into finely divided individual channels, often resembling a honeycomb shape. Pressed ceramic filters have a high dimensional accuracy ensuring a proper fit for every mold. Cellular filters prevent inclusions and control flow rate by diverting the metal stream into very small streams through the filter. Filtration occurs by two mechanisms, physically removing particles more prominent than the cell openings and chemically attracting particles smaller than the cell opening.

Give Carpenter Brothers a call or email to discuss your gating and filtration needs. We will be able to recommend the best filter for your situation.

About Us

Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is the leading supplier of equipment, consumables, and technical expertise for the metal casting industry. Founded in 1917, by Everett and Milton Carpenter, the brothers were able to use their unique foundry experiences to solve the problem of the day: a reliable sand source.  They got their foot in the door by selling natural bonded molding sand, which was mined by hand, loaded into horse-drawn carts, and then delivered to customers.  Not only did they sell the sand, but their technical expertise was readily available for all customers, big or small, to help manufacture the best castings. After surviving The Great Depression, Carpenter Brothers, Inc. slowly increased the number of products it distributed and expanded its sales territory into what it is today.

 

Carpenter Brothers, Inc. has committed itself to its customer's success by providing exceptional service to go along with the superior products and equipment they supply.  With multiple warehouses around the United States we can get you the products you need when you need them.
