AMETEK Foundry Products (Newark, DE) has partnered with Comanche Technologies, a leader in metal filtration casting applications, in developing Cerra-Flex®, an innovative new line of refractory cloth filters.
"Cerra-Flex® refractory cloth filters combine the strengths and experience of two foundry industry leaders. AMETEK has marketed Flexsil® silica mesh filter cloth for more than 10 years, while Comanche Technologies has more than 30 years experience in metal casting filtration applications,? notes Jim Visnic, Vice President and General Manager of AMETEK Chemical Products.
Cerra-Flex® is a refractory-coated silica mesh cloth developed specifically for increased thermal properties and rigidity. It can be used in metal casting applications where metal pour temperatures approach the maximum allowed for silica mesh fabric, such as steel casting or when pouring large amounts of ferrous metals.
