Recessed Plate Filter Press: The Recessed Plate Filter Press will compact sludge to a dry cake with a density that is dependent upon the ultimate compaction pressure and the characteristics of the particular sludge. Each press load will require from 2-4 hours cycle time. To insure adequate time, the press should be sized for at least 8 hours working capacity. The table and formula below can be utilized to size your press. To confirm your sizing and evaluate the process for your application with a laboratory-sized model, contact the Application Engineering Dept. to arrange a pilot test. Presses feature structural steel frame, coated with tough chemical resistant epoxy paint. High density molded polypropylene filter plates are light weight and corrosion resistant. Special polypropylene quick cake release filters cloths. Air actuated hydraulic system for parting and closing the filter plates.
Oil Filtration/Coalescing
Oil Filtration and Reconditioning Systems: Oil contamination is the major cause of hydraulic equipment failure. Even fresh oil, right from the drum, may contain contaminants at levels exceeding new equipment manufacturers' standards. Petroleum products such as hydraulic fluids don't wear out. Filter them to like new condition. Add new product only to make up for losses and to replenish additives.
Trans-O-Filter Systems effectively filter petroleum and synthetic fluids to remove abrasive grit and damaging sludge which contaminate and accumulate in hydraulic and lubricating oil circuits and reservoirs. They protect your machinery and system investments by eliminating pump damage, scored cylinders and the malfunction of valves and controls attributed to the destructive action of dirty or rancid oil. These systems offer you high flow rates and large dirt holding capacities in very compact packages. Each unit is designed to be completely self-contained; consisting of pump, motor, suction strainer and hoses. Carbon steel filter chamber will accommodate filter media down to 1 micron retention to meet your specific requirements.
Coalescing Systems: Serfilco Coalescing Systems are compact, economical, and simple to operate. Remove oils from rinse waters, cleaning solutions, plating solutions or waste effluents. Separate water or tramp oil from hydraulic fluids and machining coolants. Highly effective systems pump, pre filter and separate non-emulsified fluids having a .09 or greater difference in specific gravity. Solution is pumped through pre filter, then coalescing element where small droplets are held until large enough to float to top of coalescing chamber. Light phase is discharged from top of coalescing chamber; heavy phase is discharged from bottom of coalescing chamber. Unwanted phase is periodically bled off via manual flow control valve. Purified solution is directed back to tank or reservoir for re-use. Recovered effluent contains less than 10 ppm of the discontinuous phase. Carbon purification may be used to polish.
Carbon/Resin Systems
Carbon Purification Systems: Granular Carbon Purification Systems provide a simple, economical and efficient method of removing organic impurities from electroplating or other chemical solutions. Three product lines are offered: Labmaster, Space-Saver, and Guardian. The user can choose the particular model that is right for his/her application, flow rates, and the degree of solution purity required. Carbon canisters include trap filter
Accessories
Ser-Ductor Agitation Ser-Ductor® Pumped Agitation: A Ser-Ductor system provides solution agitation with a centrifugal pump by drawing liquid from a tank and returning it to the tank through a sparger system, similar to that used for air agitation, with eductors strategically placed along the sparger pipe. SER-DUCTOR agitation delivers 5 times the pump output at each nozzle.It effectively distributes the desired level of agitation to critical areas in your process tank. The system is driven by your choice of vertical, magnetic drive, self-priming or mechanical seal pump. With SER-DUCTOR systems, solutions are agitated without the introduction of foreign matter such as airborne dirt or compressor oil, as is often the case with air agitation. Whether the solution is a cleaner, a rinse, a plating bath or other process solution, it is only this fluid that is re circulated by the SER-DUCTOR system. Filter Media Cartridge Filter Cartridges: Serfilco offers a wide selection of filter cartridge styles, material selections and porosities to satisfy almost any filtration application in the metal finishing and electronics industries. They can be used with Serfilco filter chambers and systems or as replacements for other single or multiple cartridge housings. Serfilco offers stock cartridges in minimum quantities. Lead Removal Cartridges: The inert molecular sieve construction of the ATS material internally and irreversibly locks onto any lead in solution reducing the concentration to below U.S. EPA guidelines with a very short contact time. The ATS material works well in hard water as well as in the presence of iron, manganese, magnesium and calcium ions. It functions on the principle of chemically "absorbing" the lead ions rather than insolubilizing the lead and will not put aluminum, copper or zinc ions into the treated water. The CLR Series has been evaluated against the test protocol as outlined in NSF standard #53 by a certified third-party laboratory. The results show that a standard 9¾" cartridge at 0.75 GPM will effectively reduce a 150 PPB spiked feed of lead to less than 10 PPB for 4000 gallons in a low pH, low alkalinity solution and for 3000 gallons in a high pH, high alkalinity solution. Controls Electronic Flow Instrumentation: These high performance electronic flow monitoring/ control systems consist of three components: Flow Meter In-line/Insertion Flow Sensor Installation Fitting A variety of different configurations is available to provide a system that will monitor or control the movement of fluids and is compatible with corrosive chemicals. The instruments are waterproof for long life in shop environments. A system may be assembled to monitor a process flow rate (GPM, LPM or any other units) or keep track of accumulated flow for a period of time (totalize gallons or liters). Instruments can be selected that provide a pre-set electrical output signal for batch mixing applications or triggering acid and caustic feed pumps. They can also be interfaced with other instruments in your plant, including a computer. The accuracy and reliability come from patented Flow Sensor designs that convert fluid velocity in a pipe into an electronic signal. The signal is measured and channeled through microprocessor based solid state circuitry to the appropriate meter: flow rate, totalizer or controller. Cost effectiveness of this equipment makes plant applications feasible. The initial investment pays for itself quickly by providing cost savings from improved process efficiency. These systems are an excellent choice for the simple to the complex industrial application.

They extend operating life and improve performance of pneumatic instruments, tools and equipment. Features Removes free water and oil Removes water and oil vapors Removes particles to one micron Lowers dew point: - 25°F with dehydrated clay element- 80°F with molecular sieve element Pipe sizes from ¼" to 2" NPT Flow rates to 550 SCFM at 100 PSI Priming Chambers Pump Priming Chambers: Centrifugal pumps may require a priming chamber as an auxiliary means of lifting liquid from below the pump centerline to the pump inlet or from the liquid surface over a tank wall. The answer to this requirement is this line of easy to use and install priming chambers. Once the priming chamber is filled, the pump can be started and re-started without subsequent re-priming. Each time the pump is turned off, the priming chamber retains a volume of liquid. When the pump is re-started, it pumps the entrapped liquid out of the priming chamber, creating a vacuum in its place. Atmospheric pressure then forces liquid from the tank or sump up the suction hose or pipe to the pump, thus completing the prime process
