Electrowinning Mesh AISI 434 Wire Ø 0.15mm for Electrolytic Cells
Electrowinning mesh also known as knitted stainless steel mesh, it is a porous felt made of woven and layered stainless steel wire used in electrolytic cells.
- Can be installed in new or existing Electrowinning Cells
- Can be fabricated to fit all cathodes
- Can be reused by merely washing off the precious metal while on the cathode Experts in the Precious Metals Industry say that knitted stainless steel mesh will last as long as 20 months before replacement is necessary.Advantages of Stainless Steel Mesh:
Dramatic reduction in slag
reduced slag loss, improved precious metal recovery and smaller melting furnace required
Knitted stainless steel mesh will last up to approximately 20 months
Flux costs reduced
Furnace Liner life extended
Dramatic labour savings
easy to install, installed only once over the lifetime of the Knitted Mesh as well as no drying or meltdown
Dimensionally stable
does not sag after a few hours of use
Consistent wire dimension
provides excellent solution flow over large surface areas
Eliminates wire in bottom of cell
Clean Handling-Operator performance
no steel wool type ends and no environmental hazards
Low carbon content steel wool costs eliminated
Advantages over stainless steel wool:Savings on labour as well as longer lasting. Consistent wire dimension allows better wash results and eliminates loose wire in the bottom of the cell. Cleaner handling with operator performance (no steel wool type ends and no environmental hazards). Dimensionally more stable.
