FRALCO Filtration System

FRALCO offers filter boxes for filtering liquid aluminum in continuous or batch casting applications. Available as a single or double design, these units offer adjustable height for leveling, tap out systems to enable drainage, and filter box cover systems. The radiant tube heater system can pre-heat the empty box or holding the box with metal. An optional PLC control unit is available to control pre-heat, filter box cover system and clam.

FRALCO ceramic foam filters provide a cost effective and proven method to remove inclusions from aluminum melts. The exact removal efficiencies can vary greatly depending on application conditions. Typically, efficiency increases as filter cell size and the velocity of the metal in the filter decrease.
