Filtration Systems
SPIRAL ELEMENT
Electrocoat Paint Ultrafiltration System is a filtration process that uses Ultrafiltration elements to remove the excess water, and returns paint resin and pigment to the paint tank. The FAST Ultrafiltration systems are designed to provide premium quality permeate with exceptionally high flow rates. Each aspect of the design plays a significant role in this. Unlike most Ultrafiltration systems, FAST tapers their feed and return header lines so that the paint velocity stays relatively consistent as it travels through the system. This ensures that the paint velocity to the last set of elements is approximately equal to the velocity at the first set. FAST also designs their systems not only for the high quality of permeate but also for ease of maintenance. FAST understands that each system location needs to be considered in the design so that any potential conflicts can be addressed in advance. From designing the skid to make changing the elements easy, to taking in distance and height of plumbing, to location of the paint feed, each aspect is considered and specifically designed. FAST offers many smart system options that can extend membrane life through monitoring of key parameters that keep the system in optimum operation.
Included in the system design options are integral bag filters, a Clean In Place (CIP) system that allows the user to clean the elements individually or in batches while the system is running, housings, flow meters, pressure gauges, butterfly valves, PVC ball valves, gauges, isolators and remote monitoring.
The FAST Ultrafiltration systems are available in schedule 80 PVC or high-quality US manufactured stainless steel and are manufactured in the USA.
