Using vacuum filtration, the Auto-Vac rotary vacuum filter quickly separates solids from water. Reduced in volume by 95%, the dried solids can be easily disposed of at the local landfill, and the filtrate can be reused in production or discharged into the local sewage system. With the aid of a filter media, solid particles as small as 0.5 µm are removed from the filtered liquid. Pre-piped, pre-wired and skid-mounted, the self-contained Auto-Vac can be easily added to any existing manufacturing or processing facility.

Powerfilm Rotor Technology increases performance for wiped-film evaporators at a low capital investment. For molecular distillation and wiped-film evaporation, this technology employs a proprietary geometric shape that causes the wiper to adjust performance depending on product characteristics. In side-by-side develop-mental tests against a competitor’s rotor design, the process capacity was increased by 27%. More importantly, a 260-ppm monomer impurity level was decreased to 10 ppm.

Off-site filter tank and bulk-media tank manufacturing offers to the ability to fabricate large vessels locally. Vessels as large as 10 ft in diameter are available with pressure ratings to 2,500 psi. Off-site manufacturing capabilities include plant management, engineering services and complete production facilities. Various non-destructive testing procedures are utilized.

The corrosion-resistant Series HA 3x2 and EH 3x2 centrifugal pumps come in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Available in high-temperature polypropylene or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) for superior corrosion resistance, the pumps handle flows to 400 gal/min or 170 ft of total dynamic head. The fully enclosed primary impeller provides high hydraulic efficiency at low horsepower.
