Wire Mesh for Casting Foundry/Gate Filters
Also referred to as casting gate filters or skim gate filters, Locker casting foundry gate filters are pressed from galvanised steel, steel or stainless steel woven wire mesh using dedicated tooling to achieve each customer's specific requirements.
The wire mesh filters prevent contaminants in the liquid alloy such as air bubbles, oxides and other inclusions from entering the main casting; thereby greatly enhancing the intrinsic appearance and strength of the finished screen.
The most common applications of wire mesh casting foundry/gate filter screens are steel castings such as engine blocks and alloy wheel casting plants.
