Our CECO Mefiag brand mid-range Polypropylene Electroplating Filter Systems units feature horizontal disc technology and capacities from 3,500 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 3500-PPQ and 3500-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.

Filter

Filter

 N/A The filter chamber is constructed of all polypropylene with bottom inlet and bottom discharge. Discharge is o-ring sealed. A powder coated support plate provides added strength. Chamber’s have side mounted inlet/outlet connections for closer mounting to the tank.
Stainless steel eyebolts with handwheels hold the powder coated steel cover in place. An air release diaphragm valve is provided.
A stainless steel pressure gauge (0-60 PSI) is supplied with a corrosion resistant guard.
Base is polypropylene with stainless steel channel structure and polypropylene feet. Casters are available upon request.

Unitized Pack

Unitized Pack

 N/A The disc assembly is all polypropylene with threaded center core and top nut for locking the discs into a one-piece unitized pack. Bottom support plate is designed for uniform liquid distribution while the top support plate provides for recirculation of the liquid to the filter media.
A locking/lifting handle is furnished to secure the lock nut into place and to facilitate the easy removal and replacement of the unitized pack.
Filter media selected for the application is placed between the rigid polypropylene discs. Ten (10) micron cellulose is standard. Carbon/cellulose (10 micron) and polypropylene of various densities are available.

Self-Priming Magnetic Drive Pump

Self-Priming Magnetic Drive Pump

 N/A A polypropylene, self-priming magnetic drive pump Model PMSP is furnished with a TEFC motor. High purity silicon carbide bearings and viton o-rings are standard. The magnetic switch motor starter is housed in a liquid tight enclosure.

Slurry Tank Specifications

Slurry Tank Specifications

 N/A The slurry tank is all polypropylene construction and is furnished with Model PPQ-SY units. Slurry tanks are used to facilitate pre-coating, addition of carbon (if required), and solution makeup. These are sized to store the complete capacity of the filter chamber during changing of the media or maintenance. Inlet/outlet connections are located at the end of the mounting base.

Piping, Valves and Connections

Piping, Valves and Connections

 N/A Piping, valves, and connections are all hard pipe polypropylene. SY models are piped to allow for flow from the solution tank, slurry tank, and the filter chamber.
