FEATURES:

the Flow
he diverse yet precise processes
of plating and anodizing require
equally diverse pumps that can be
counted on to run with maximum
uptime and outcomes.
Pumps are used to provide flow through
* Self-priming when immersed in solution.
* In-tank mounted
* PTFE vapor seal
* Motor stand-off
* Handles solids up to 1/8 " diameter
* Added strength of stainless steel
eductors for mixing in plating tanks without
introducing air, provide flow through filters
to keep plating solutions clean, empty and
refill tanks with plating solutions, transfer
chemicals and rinse waters from sumps, and
transfer wastewater and water treatment
chemicals in on-site treatment plants.
Flo King Filter Systems manufactures
pumps, filter systems and cartridges, and
carbon treatment devices, to promote
solution cleanliness and waste minimization
in a variety of operations.
The company's " four-in-one " in-tank
nguin Series PSS 316 stainless steel vertical in-tank pumps are compact and simple in design, having only one
ving part, yet highly efficient with proven performance. These general corrosion-resistant all purpose pumps
ideal for many OEM wet processing applications. Whether you are pumping cleaners, caustics, salt solutions,
orinated solvents, photographic chemicals, deionized water, fatty, phosphoric, citric, or lactic acids, we can
mp it with confidence. Maximum temperature ratings are primarily dependent on the elastomer employed and
vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped.

metal-finishing solutions.
Flo King says this offers many advantages, including the

elimination of leaks and spills associated with out-of-tank filter
systems; agitation as a natural byproduct of filtration, a feature
that can often replace air or mechanical agitation systems; easy
filter cartridge changes, without the need for tools or production
interruptions; and in-tank carbon treatment for the removal of
organic impurities, such as brightener breakdown products. Flo
King adds, the system offers a lot of versatility as it can be used
stationary in one tank or moved from tank to tank as a utility
pump.
The system is less costly than out-of-tank filter systems, and
there are models for small and large tanks. CPVC, polypropylene,
PVDF (Kynar), or stainless steel construction can be chosen, and
it can be used with the company's own reusable filter cartridges
or with disposables. Installation is out of the box.
Filter Pump Industries manufactures pumps for every
industrial application. Its Penguin pumps are rugged, compact,
energy-efficient, corrosion-resistant, capable of handling both
high temperatures and high flow rates, and feature the latest
technology, the company says. The vertical pump line features an
extended design for immersion into solutions.
The PSS Stainless Steel Vertical In-Tank Pump is described as
compact and simple, with only one moving part. These pumps are
suited to cleaners, caustics, salt solutions, chlorinated solvents,
photographic chemicals, deionized water, fatty, phosphoric,

and the vapor pressure of the liquid

says.
A replaceable coupled shaft using
multiple set screws to minimize shaft
deflection and misalignment also
allows the use of standard NEMA
motors, available at most motor
suppliers, saving prolonged downtime
and money. A motor stand-off and
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
slinger/disk provide optimum bottom
motor bearing protection against
chemical fume corrosiveness.
Single-phase motors are wired for
115 volts using a six-foot cord and
grounding plug or for 230 volts using
a six-foot cord without plug. All threephase
motors are shipped unwired, so
that the direction of motor rotation
must be determined by the end user
prior to operation.
The PSS is recommended for OEMs,
chemical wet processing, spray rinse
pumping, wet processing, standby
pumping, recirculating pumping, fume
scrubbing, water treatment, plating,
and etching, and more.
Filter Pump Industries offers
various filters from cotton and
polypropylene
string
wound
to
specialized polyurethane resin for
various applications such as plating and etching, electroless
copper, fluid management, and wastewater treatment.
The string wound cartridge filters are manufactured using a
high speed, continuous wind process which creates a superior
one-piece filter with hundreds of diamond shaped tunnels, the
company says.
Pleated filter cartridges are " manufactured using a
proprietary, electrodsorptive media technology that is capable
of removing submicron pathogens and inorganic contaminants
through electro-adhesion and ion exchange, " Filter Pump
Industries says.
Canadian Finishing Systems is a Canadian-owned and
operated supplier of chemicals, equipment, and supplies
to a diverse market that includes aerospace, automotive,
electroplaters, anodizers, phosphaters, and various other
manufacturers. The company carries a full line filters and filter
systems, in both re-usable and disposable filter technologies
that include bag, plate, overside, tube and candle filters with
various flow-through configurations. Filter systems can either
be manual or fully automated.
Finish Thompson offers sealless, sealed, vertical and drum
pumps to cover the full spectrum of needs for electroplating
and anodizing. Its DB and SP Series pumps, for example, are
magnetically coupled, sealless centrifugal pumps designed
to pump corrosive chemicals in electroplating and anodizing
facilities.
