MINKON Cast filter (textile filtration)

For a metal casting foundry to be successful in today's highly competitive environment, the production of high quality castings, low slag formation and high productivity are critical.

High quality filters capture both metallic and non-metallic inclusions, convert the metal flow from turbulent to laminar (preventing secondary oxidation and mold degradation), improve the surface quality of castings and increase the productivity and efficiency of casting production.

MINKON Casting filters are available in a wide variety of shapesl
