Horizontal Disc Filters

Disc filters are essential components in high-volume electroplating and industrial filtration processes, providing a high surface area and the ability to achieve fine filtration down to 0.5 microns. These filtration systems are especially beneficial in electroplating chemistry, where pre-coating the filter media with activated carbon helps remove organic contamination, making them the best option for maintaining the purity of plating baths. Our disc filters are designed to handle a wide range of solutions, including copper, nickel, and zinc plating baths, with modifications available for aggressive liquids such as acid copper, acid zinc, or acid tin.

Disc Filter Models

We offer a range of high-performance disc filters designed to meet the specific needs of your filtration process. These systems are customizable based on the solution being filtered, ensuring optimal performance and durability.

Horizontal Disc Filters

Horizontal disc filter systems are available in capacities ranging from 10 to 30,000 gallons per hour (gph). These filters are most commonly used in copper, nickel, and zinc plating baths, offering excellent filtration efficiency and reliability. For aggressive liquids like acid copper, acid zinc, or acid tin, special modifications are available, including ebonite-lined slurry tanks and filter housings, and titanium pump shafts to enhance chemical resistance.

Capacity:

10 to 30,000 gph, suitable for high-volume applications.

Applications:

Commonly used in copper, nickel, and zinc plating baths; customizable for aggressive solutions.

Material Construction:

Ebonite lining for slurry tanks and filter housings; titanium pump shafts for enhanced durability.

Key Features and Customization Options

Disc filters are constructed and modified specifically to meet the demands of the solutions they are filtering. Here are some key features and options available for customization:

Chemical Resistance:

All components that come into contact with the solution, including pump shafts and solution piping, are made from chemically resistant materials to ensure longevity and performance.

Single or Dual Chamber Filters:

Depending on the volume of the solution, filters can be configured with either single or dual chambers to optimize filtration efficiency.

Slurry Tank:

The inclusion of a slurry tank is essential for pre-coating the filter with filter aid and activated carbon, which helps achieve the finest levels of filtration and maintains the purity of the plating bath.

Applications of Horizontal Disc Filters

Electroplating:

Ideal for maintaining the purity of copper, nickel, and zinc plating baths by removing organic contaminants and fine particulates.

Industrial Filtration:

Suitable for a variety of industrial processes where high-efficiency filtration of aggressive liquids is required.
