The Primary Carbon for Electroplaters

A specialised cartridge for electroplating applications, the C-155 represents the best possible technology available for the marketplace. The bonded PAC used in the Fibredyne C-155 excels in removing organics and particulate and ensures sulphur is not leached into the plating bath, along with a post filtration layer preventing carbon fines after initial flushing. The C-155 prevents pitted deposits, haze, clouds and discolouration to provide a bright electroplating finish. Building on the same technology as the discontinued ELPC cartridge, the C-155 has a reduced diameter allowing simple retrofitting to a much wider range of standard housings within the finishing industry.

The C-155 carbon cartridges made with Fibredyne™ technology are far more advanced than traditional carbon block cartridges. Benefits of higher flow rates, lower pressure drops, higher treatment capacity and less susceptibility to premature blocking from sediment make them the leading carbon cartridges on the market.

The fibres (coated in powdered activated carbon) have a very large surface area to offer increased capacity, more flow paths to allow for increased flow and reduced pressure drop and also create areas where sediment can be trapped.

The construction methods used to manufacture Fibredyne™ cartridges allow for a variety of constituents to be incorporated that solve specific application problems. Manufacturing and development processes that produce no fines or Sulphur release, is a particular benefit in electroplating applications. Fibredyne™ technology also enables the use of moulded Santoprene gaskets, meaning no glues are used and the risk of end-caps being left in the housing during cartridge change is vastly reduced.

Pentek EP-40 Carbon Block

An extension to the EPM range is the NSF 42 certified EP, offering 100% greater removal capacity for only a 10% average increase in cost.

EP Series carbon briquette cartridges are manufactured using a patented process that yields a cartridge with a nominal 5-micron filtration rating, high dirt-holding tolerance. A high porosity design helps prevent the cartridge from plugging before its adsorption capacity is exhausted, maximizing the utilization of the carbon while maintaining low pressure drop.

These cartridges are protected by Endurawrap®, a uniquely formulated polyolefin bilaminate pre-filter, designed to significantly increase the useful life of the cartridge by trapping sediment that typically plugs carbon block cartridges.

Also available in 5", 10" (9 3/4"), 20" and 30" .  Please call us for volume discounts on these or any other filters
