Using in-tank filter systems by Flo King or Serfilco, the pump body and filter cartridge are submerged in the solution to be filtered. Solution is drawn by vacuum through the filter cartridge, travels a short distance, and is immediately expelled at a high flow rate from the pump Discharge Port. This creates a “free” source of agitation that is clean and beneficial for electroplating and other metal-finishing processes. Since solution never leaves the tank, leaks and spills are eliminated. All standard in-tank filter systems feature a Teflon-coated stainless-steel shaft so that no metal parts are in direct contact with solution. Titanium and Hastelloy C276-alloy shafts are also available.
Flo King is the in-tank, four-in-one system that pumps, filters, agitates, and treats solutions used in electroplating, anodizing, printed circuit, and associated metal-finishing operations.
The Flo King system offers many advantages, including:
• The elimination of leaks and spills associated with out-of-tank filter systems.
• Agitation as a natural byproduct of filtration. This feature is frequently sufficient to replace air or mechanical agitation systems.
• Ease of filter cartridge changes, without the need for tools or production interruptions.
• In-tank carbon treatment for the removal of organic impurities, such as brightener breakdown products.
• Versatility … can be used stationary in one tank or moved from tank to tank as a utility pump.
• Less costly than out-of-tank filter systems.
• Several models for small and large tanks alike — production, prototype, and lab.
• CPVC, polypropylene, PVDF (Kynar), and stainless steel available as pump materials of construction.
• Can be used with our novel blanket-like reusable filter cartridges, or with disposables. It’s your choice.
• Fast, easy installation. Out of the box and into the tank! Just plug it in.
Serfilco ADMIRAL ‘EL’ in-tank filter systems consist of a vertical, dry-run capable pump and a single column filter chamber for a 10″, 20″ or 30″ filter cartridge. The pump and filter are mounted in a compact configuration using a common mounting plate and union connection between the pump outlet and filter inlet.
