Gating and Filter Technology for Foundries

New Theories Based on Previous Research Findings

Casting of metals is one of the most fascinating and important fields of modern technology. Ever since our ancestors started smelting and casting more than seven thousand years ago, we having been searching for the ideal gating and filter systems. Foundries are frequently faced with filtration problems that have produced sub-optimal casting results. However, the many years of experience at hofmann CERAMIC has shown that good results are often obtained even though the applied filtration technology contradicts established theories on filtration mechanisms. Thorsten Reuther has taken up the challenge to compile these observations and to formulate a new theory to explain how filtration works. He describes this new theory on the basis of previous research findings and considers it to be a continuation and further development of existing models. The new approaches for optimising gating technology and filtration are presented in readily comprehensible and practice-oriented discussions.

Written and compiled by Dipl.-Ing. Thorsten Reuther,
Technical manager of the company hofmann CERAMIC.
