See full text

A molten aluminum metal filter system having a holding tank operable to receive a molten metal, a filter device to filter the molten metal, a pump operable to continuously recirculate the molten metal through the filter device, and a casting device to receive a filtered molten metal from the filter device. The filter device includes a chamber, an inlet channel operable to convey the molten metal into the chamber, and an outlet channel operable to convey unused filtered molten metal out of the chamber and back into the holding tank. Removeable filter elements are disposed in series within the inlet channel. The removable filter elements are configured to remove inclusions above a determined diameter size from the molten metal. The filter device includes at least one nozzle operable to direct an inert gas flow to blanket the molten metal and a heating element.
