Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics Hamilton manufactures Flow-Rite™ ceramic foundry filters. These filters have a cellular design of perfectly round cells which unite with the ceramic material to withstand thermal shocks and extreme pouring temperatures, to provide an engineered balance between flow rate and strength. They are able to remove dross, slag and impurities from the melt, resulting in outstanding machinability, an improved surface finish, greater yields and reduced foundry operating costs.

Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics Hamilton has been certified to QS9000/ISO9001 since 1997 and makes use of modern statistical process control techniques to maintain precise quality standards, from raw materials to finished product. The company has also been awarded their ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems.

By involvement with several leading foundry research laboratories, and by making use of the extensive testing equipment at the Saint-Gobain central research facilities, Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics Hamilton is constantly increasing its understanding of materials and processes related to foundry filtration. This knowledge is then applied in support of manufacturing and quality control and to provide application and engineering support for customers, whenever required.

Flow-Rite™ filters are available in a broad range of standard sizes or, on request, can be custom engineered and built to customer specifications.

With manufacturing facilities in Canada, the Czech Republic and China, the company is ideally placed to serve worldwide foundry customers more efficiently.

An international network of agents and distributors provide local support to customers, wherever they are.
