Key Benefits Paper Band Filter British high-quality product Durable products due to design, good quality materials and workmanship knowledge The paper band filter has been built to separate the solids from the effluent discharged from the vibratory and grinding machines via a filter Easy to operate paper. One of the key features is the low cost of running as the filter Low maintenance paper lasts for a few months while the filter paper band only operates Can be easily integrated with ActOn’s automated systems when the filter paper is changed

Recirculation Tanks

ActOn’s recirculation tank is a highly cost-effective solution when processing small quantities of effluent. While the effluent from the finishing machine is discharged into the recirculation tank first chamber, the fine particles such as media and metal fines are captured by a stainless steel filter and the clean water is transferred into a second chamber.

Settlement Tanks With or Without Pumps

The settlement tank is connected to the drain of the finishing machine and the effluent is discharged from the vibratory machine into this tank. The solids which settle out in the tank chamber can be removed with ease by the operator with the removable baskets The Settlement tank is available in painted or stainless steel versions.
