Our CECO Mefiag brand steel rubber-lined High Capacity Electroplating Filter Systems feature horizontal disc technology and capacities of 4,500 to 7,200 gph for Single Chamber.

Designed for the filtration of nickel, copper and zinc electrolytes.
  • Operating temperature to 190 °F (90 °C).
  • Depending on the type of process, single chamber systems are designed for plating tanks ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 gallons.
  • Can be supplied with high profile (for zinc) or low profile (for nickel and copper) horizontal discs.
  • Special X-versions of these units are available for filtration of aggressive liquids such as acid copper, acid zinc or acid tin.
  • The slurry tank and filter housing on X-versions are lined inside and out with ebonite, and the pump shaft is titanium.Exclusive MEFIAG® stainless steel lifting device provides for simple mechanical movement of the cover for maintenance purposes. Just turn crank to raise lid. Then swing lid away to access filter media.

Filter

Filter

 N/A Filter chambers are constructed of mild steel with hard rubber lining (3 mm) on the interior and corrosion resistant paint (2 coats) on the exterior.
A flanged tangential inlet is standard, along with a bottom outlet and drain.
Stainless steel eyebolts with handwheels hold the powder coated steel cover in place. The lifting device provides for mechanical movement of the cover for maintenance purposes. An air release valve positioned on the cover, is also used as the return line during pre-coating.
A pressure gauge (0-60 PSI) is supplied with a corrosion resistant guard.
Filter media suited for the application is placed between the rigid polypropylene filter discs. Filter media of various materials and micron ratings are available. Ten (10) micron cellulose is standard.
All systems are mounted on a powder coated structural steel frame with casters for easy handling.

Pump

Pump

 N/A Mefiag polypropylene centrifugal pumps are standard with a stainless steel pump shaft. Mechanical seal is CRS-25/B with silicon carbide faces.
