ALUPOR™ metal foam is effective material for filtering, noise reduction, aerators, dispersers, heat exchangers, sensor protection cases, flame-arresters, diffusers, décor and more.
There is a variety of porous materials with open and closed porosity. ALUPOR™ is fundamentally different from well-known metal foams and sintered metals.
It has unique structure with volumetric porosity up to 70%.
Original ALUPOR™ technology involves impregnation of preheated salt granules bed with liquid aluminium. Porous structure is formed as a result of salt dissolution from aluminium matrix.
ALUPOR™ products manufactured by casting have competitive advantages over sintered and metal‑ceramic ones:
mechanical strength
low production cost, which means the price is significantly lower than well‑known global market leaders, while maintaining quality characteristics that are on par with those of PALL, SMC, FESTO, Camozzi, and Millipore
products of any geometry, size and shape
porous↔solid transition in one piece. Any connection type avalible: flange, threaded, O-ring sealing etc.
adjustable volumetric porosity (50–75 %)
adjustable pore size and filtration rating — from 1 µm up to coarse‑pore structures of up to 20 mm.
operating temperature up to 350 °C
100 % regenerability and up to 10‑year service life of filters
ALUPOR™ available in almost any shape and size and with solid-metal mounting part.
You can choose the pore size and porosity in a wide range. ALUPOR™ has excellent permeability so you can use it as a filter, silencer and 14 other valuable applications.
Now more than 400 companies use porous aluminium ALUPOR™ to solve their tasks.
Porous aluminium serves as an efficient substitute of sintered metals, aluminium foams and metal sponges. It is 100% open porous material and suitable for replacement of sintered metal filters with filtration degree from 5 to 200 microns.
Alupor can be applied for hot gas filters with temperatures up to 250-350 C° degree.
It works as perfect pneumatic silencer or exhaust muffler. We can offer the analogues of Camozzi silencers and some types of FESTO silencers, especially for high pressure applications (up to 40 bars). Also it shows good characteristics as air motor silencer and small engine muffler.
More than 15 our customers use ALUPOR™ for sensor protection.
We are developing a promising application which is air permeable molds for thermoforming (EPS / EPP expandable polystyrene moulds ).
There are numerous applications of ALUPOR™ as aerators for fish farms and technical gas spargers.
Many companies use ALUPOR™ to make pneumatic transport systems.
Our special hopes are related with such applications as heat exchangers, vacuum tables, energy absorption and impact dampers.
We can do any shape and size
