Copper gauge is the most effective scouring and cleaning tool for cleaning hot extrusion screws and barrels. Using this mesh increases productive working hours for very expensive plastic extrusion machinery. This is achieved by allowing the cleaning process to occur immediately without wasting time waiting for the machine to cool down. The softness of the copper eliminates the danger of scratching or damaging critical working machine surfaces. Copper gauge is also widely used in Marine filtration applications.
