Our CECO Mefiag brand mid-range Polypropylene Electroplating Filter Systems units feature horizontal disc technology and capacities from 4,500 to 5,400 gph.

The MEFIAG® Advantage
MEFIAG is recognized throughout the world as the leading supplier of high efficiency, high quality, horizontal disc filters for superior performance. Series 4500-PPQ and 4500-PPQ-SY is a design that incorporates the best that MEFIAG has to offer including all polypropylene construction featuring the "Unitized Pack" and self-priming magnetic drive pump as standard.

Designed for the filtration of nickel, copper and zinc electrolytes.
  • Operating temperature to 180 °F (82 °C).
  • For plating tanks from 400 to approximately 1,000 gallons depending on the type of process.
  • Can be supplied with horizontal discs or cartridges depending on the application.

    "Unitized Pack"
    Mefiag's® "Unitized Pack" disc assembly is locked tight for easy removal and changing of media. It is O-ring sealed at the discharge to eliminate any possibility of bypass.

    Self-Priming Magnetic Drive Pump
    The polypropylene, self-priming magnetic drive pump is leakproof and sealless. After initially filling the priming chamber with liquid, the pump will virtually eliminate the danger of dry running. Lift capability is fifteen feet in 90 seconds when filtering from elevations lower than the pump. A polypropylene basket strainer traps any large solids that could damage the pump.
