tures successfully filter most aggres- sive acid and solvent solutions includ- ing sulfuric acid (95%), nitric acid (70%). ammonia, potassium, and cya- nide, as well as ethanol, benzene, me- thylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone, and most other solvents. The filters provide excellent filtration perfor- mance at temperatures up to 2,000”F (1,093”C). Available with particle rent- ention from 0.2-25 pm, Ceratrex ce- ramic filters come in a variety of sizes and configurations to economically fil- ter most corrosive solutions.

Paint Finishing Equipment I7W Ramburg Toledo, Ohio

ITW Ransburg Electrostatic Sys- terns introduces a new member to their line of paint finishing equipment, the Color Select System for total color control. The Color Select System pro- vides an easy and accurate means of

changing coating material in any appli- cation and is flexible enough to handle as many as 15 different elating mate- rials. With its Class 1, Div. 1 approval rating, the system can be safely mounted anywhere in the facility, even in a hazardous environment. One very important aspect of the Color Select System is its capacity to save time and reduce operating costs. Its multicolor handling capability, the automated ease with which changes are accom- plished, and the elimination of multi-

Air Pollution Control System Conserve Engineering Laguna Beach, Calif.

HEPA-T emission control systems offer unsurpassed collection efficiency for toxic mists such as hexavalent chrome. Combining new filter technol- ogy with a specially designed housing, the HEPA-T system exceeds the capa- bilities of packed bed, fiber bed, and composite mesh pad (CMP) control equipment, while providing cost sav- ings over these older collection meth- ods. This state-of-the-art technology offers the greatest degree of control for toxic particulates (such as plating mists) while being inexpensive to own and operate. With typical removal ef- ficiencies of 99.99%, the HEPA-T sys- tem can easily surpass all national and state air pollution regulations. The

E-BritC 30/30 Non-Cyanide Alkaline Copper. Our E-Brite” 30/30 is superior to ordinary non-cyanide alkaline solutions. For example, it does the “impossible” by rack plating directly onto die-cast zinc and white metal castings as well as rack and barrel plating onto steel, stainless steel, brass and zincated aluminum. No special anodes or continuous dummy plating as with other processes. Only two addition agents versus as many as five agents with other processes. E-Brite 30/30 has excellent bath stability and is extremely simple to control.

This process is not “fresh-out-of-the- lab non-cyanide technology.” It’s a performance-proven technology that over the years has helped hundreds of users do a better plating job, while eliminating cyanide. For fur- ther details write, call or fax.

HEPA-T is used in conjunction with a specially designed CMP system. Under most circumstances, effluent from the CMP wash down can be returned to the process tanks, thereby reducing waste treatment requirements.

flexibility to be lengthened in the field with common hookup wire. The DLE Series displays process or set point temperature in 0.3 high LED display. Standard units will control heating function only although special units are available for cooling. It operates on universal power supply (100-240 VAC, 50/60 HZ). Control output is rated 2 A at 250 VAC resistive. Sensor break protection de-energizes control output to protect the system.

Rotary Grinder Micro-Metrics Co. Atlanta

The Rotogroover is the latest acces- sory development for the Paint Inspec- tion Gauge. It provides the smallest possible footprint for coating thickness measurement, and also effectively in- cises elastomer-elastomer coating-sub-

strate systems, which have been resis- tant to satisfactory incision with the standard linear cutting tips. This devel- opment has special significance for painted plastics applications such as in the automotive and electronics fields. As the name implies, the Rotogroover incises similarly to a small countersink tool at 1 X2 X and 10 X cutting slopes.
