Foam Ceramic Filter Alcan Smelter is one of the keys to the smelting process of alloying, cleaning and refining aluminum scrap.
Cast ceramic filter can remove non-metallic inclusions in aluminum alloy melt. It is treated with flux in an oven. The ceramic foam filter technology outside the furnace has become an important method for purifying molten aluminum.
Foam Ceramic Filter Alcan Smelter is specially developed for the production of high-quality casting products in aluminum casting workshops. It can reduce the waste caused by impurities, reduce the cost caused by impurities, realize faster extrusion or hot rolling speed, improve productivity, and easily replace alloys. No need to detain metal to increase casting flexibility.
Ceramic Filter solution
Use better foam ceramic filter to filter aluminum melt (foam ceramic two-stage filtration, high adsorption capacity). Change the replacement method of the ceramic foam filter.
Choose good primary aluminum and scrap.
From pouring to solidification, the casting alloy liquid will shrink macroscopically or microscopically at the solidified place.
This macroscopic contraction caused by contraction is visible to the naked eye, and is divided into concentrated contraction and dispersed contraction.
The concentrated shrinkage holes are large and concentrated, distributed on the top of the casting or at the hot joint with a thick section.
The dispersive shrinkage cavities are small and dispersed, most of which are distributed in the casting shaft and hot joints.
The microscopic shrinkage cavities are difficult to see with the naked eye, and most of the microscopic shrinkage cavities are distributed under the grain boundaries or between dendrites.

Alcan Smelter’s BC Works business in Kitimat, British Columbia includes a newly modern aluminum smelter and Kemano Powerhouse, a hydroelectric power facility provided by the Nechako Reservoir. From the west coast of Canada, we transport our products by ship and rail, mainly to customers in Japan, South Korea and the United States.
In 2019, our total economic contribution to British Columbia exceeded 842 million Canadian dollars, making it one of the largest contributors to the province’s manufacturing GDP.
In 2019, BC Works was certified by the Aluminum Industry Management Initiative (ASI) to produce aluminum in compliance with the highest standards of internationally recognized responsible environmental, social and governance practices.
The aluminum smelter is one of the most efficient and lowest-cost smelters in the world, powered entirely by clean, renewable hydropower.
When BC Works opened in 1954, it was the largest hydro-powered smelter in the world. Today, after investing 6 billion Canadian dollars to modernize the smelter, the aluminum we produce here has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world. The upgrade was completed in 2016, including the installation of smelting equipment using our most advanced AP technology, making BC Works not only more efficient and more commercially competitive, but also cleaner: we now produce twice as much aluminum as before, and emit greenhouse gases The amount is halved.
The modern smelter is one of the largest private construction projects in British Columbia’s history. Its advantages include:
energy efficiency
Leading digital monitoring and computer control system
Revolutionary efficiency and performance of dry cleaning (cleaning) systems
High level of material recycling to maximize raw material yield and recycling opportunities
Our Kemano power station receives water from the Nechako Reservoir through a 65-year-old tunnel, and even today, it is the largest high-pressure hydroelectric power generation facility in North America. In 2017, we announced an investment of 600 million Canadian dollars to build a second tunnel in Kemano to ensure the safety and sustainability of our smelter’s electricity. We expect the Kemano Second Tunnel (T2) project to be completed in 2021.
