Exclusively supplied in the U.S. by Specialty Plastics, Siebec filters, pumps and agitation systems are made from polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and stainless steel to provide enhanced corrosion resistance for plating and chemical treatment applications.

The modular filter systems feature fully molded bodies, lids and bases. Speed-change assemblies enable interchanging of filter media options. Systems can accept pleated, often reusable/rewashable L-Tech cartridges, spun-bonded or wound cartridges, activated carbon canisters, filter bags, microfibers, and ion-exchange resins.

Siebec pumps are designed with high-efficiency impellers and optimized internal pressures to reduce bearing wear. Available models include horizontal magnetic-drive and mechanical-seal pumps, vertical sealless in- and out-of-tank pumps, and peristaltic dosing pumps. Most pumps incorporate a self-priming suction volute, integrated strainer and various connection options.

Agitation systems with eductor nozzles use the Venturi principle to amplify the volume of liquid delivered by a pump. According to Specialty Plastics, benefits of pumped eductor agitation can include improved deposition rates, reduced heating and rectification costs, and reduced airborne emissions.

    Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
