Equipment Overview | Filter Pump Industries / Penguin Pump | Process Technology
Filter Pump Industries - a division of Penguin Pumps, Incorporated.
Penguin filter chambers are offered in CPVC, polypropylene, and PVDF. The construction of the Series C chambers contains no fragile lucite or glass. There is no metal to liquid contact, no springs to lose or break, and no crushed tubes. Penguin CPVC and polypropylene chambers are recommended for most acid and alkaline solutions. PVDF chambers are recommended for high temperature acids and alkalies, HF, and electroless nickel. All Series C chambers can be mounted on a common polypropylene base and manifolded together for greater capacities or space saving requirements. For portability, casters can be added as an option. Penguin Series C double open end (D.O.E.) chambers are available in single tube, three tube, five tube, and twelve tube vessels. The Series C single open end (S.O.E.) chambers are available in single tube, two tube, four tube and nine tube vessels. Each D.O.E filter chamber is equipped with an initial Penguin 15 micron filter cartridge or set of filter cartridges. Filters for S.O.E chambers are purchased separately. Because of the unique Penguin design, these cartridges ensure maximum particle retention and no liquid bypass.

Penguin in-tank filter chambers allow for depth filtration that is completely limited to inside the tank. Thus, there is no possibility of solution loss in the Series CN chambers. The 3CN chambers are completely constructed of CPVC, polypropylene, and PVDF while the 6CN chambers are constructed of CPVC or polypropylene. This includes the rugged mounting bracket. Penguin models include single and three cartridge vessels in 10", 20", and 30" cartridge lengths. The Series CN chambers incorporate all of the unique construction advantages of our style 3C and 6C chambers. The cartridge compressor design in the style 3C chamber and the double labyrinth o-ring sealing, along with the long-sleeved flange on the top of style 6C, are also incorporated into our Series CN chambers.

Penguin carbon treatment chambers are available with carbon cartridges or bagged granular carbon. Each Series CT carbon cartridge chamber comes equipped with a Penguin Series PC disposable carbon cartridge containing pure, low sulfur, activated carbon granules. All carbon cartridges can be replaced with filter cartridges if straight filtration is required. Carbon bag chambers contain a reusable polypropylene mesh bag to be filled with Penguin style GC sulfur-free, activated granular carbon. Depending upon the style selected, the chamber holds from 5 to 100 pounds of carbon. When the carbon becomes exhausted, only the granular carbon, and not the bag, needs to be replaced. Penguin granular carbon quickly reaches its saturation point in absorbing minimal amounts of brighteners, yet continues to have excellent absorption for organic impurities. Following organic decontamination, the solution is automatically depth filtered through a 3 micron filter surrounding the core of the carbon cartridge or set of 3 micron filter cartridges attached to the carbon bag chamber head. This traps all foreign particles and solids. Carbon bag chambers can easily be converted to straight filtration if required. All carbon bag chambers come equipped with a flow plate, polypropylene mesh carbon bag, short and long filter cartridge rods, and an initial set of 3 micron filter cartridges used during carbon treatment.

Penguin bag filtration systems are designed to provide rapid, high velocity solution turnover, while removing contaminants that tend to surface load. In the Series BF filtration systems, the larger surface area of the single layered polypropylene filter bag provides significant longer life when compared to a graded density, string wound cartridge filter. Disposable bags are economical to use and may be easily discarded when spent or cleaned for reuse. Traditionally, bag filtration systems have been used with air sparging systems to constantly renew the plating solution that is coming in contact with the parts. A Penductor sparging system does the same thing, but refreshes the chemistry much faster, while giving you other benefits such as keeping solids in suspension for easier removal, more uniform temperature, thickness, and brightness. Since the Series BF bag filtration system is basically an open system, uniform agitation can be achieved without the need of a dedicated sparging pump.

Penguin pressure gauge guards have a unique, compact, molded design. This low profile design fits well in tight spaces such as reel to reel systems or other automatic systems. Consisting of two threaded fluid chambers, there is no possibility of leakage due to uneven screwed components in the Series PGG gauge guards. Each piece contains a matching groove, which confines the true O-ring incorporated on the O.D. of the impermeable diaphragm. The internal parts of the Series PGG gauge guards in contact with the diaphragm have a large radius, thus preventing any damage to or shearing of the diaphragm. The choice of materials permits these gauge guards to be utilized on highly corrosive and ultra-pure solutions. Guards can also be purchased separately from gauges.

Penguin Penductor systems are designed for in-tank mixing using the tank fluid as the mixing medium for solution agitation. Simple in design, the Series PES Penductor systems are easy to install, operate, and maintain. Penductors utilize the fluid inside the tank reservoir as the "motive" fluid, which is defined as the fluid flowing through the Penductor nozzle. The high velocity motive fluid entrains the liquid near the suction openings of the Penductor, and mixes this liquid thoroughly as it passes through the diffuser. The resulting plume of mixed fluid, flowing at an intermediate velocity, now proceeds to mix and agitate the remaining tank liquid. The Series PES Penductor systems are completely piped and ready to be attached to the discharge of the motive driving pump.

Penguin Penductor sparging eductors offer a new twist to the current eductor craze. Based on established eductor principles, the Series PE Penductor was designed especially for industrial sparging applications. The nozzle was designed utilizing the same orifice size as a typical 3/8" NPT tank mixing eductor, with a larger connection size, thus giving you the same flow characteristics with less pressure drop. This can reduce the horsepower required on larger systems. The larger connection size allows you to use standard PVC reducing tees without extra bushings or reducing couplings, thus saving you valuable tank space. The diffuser was designed with a larger plume dispersion angle for more uniform agitation and a lower profile to allow you to utilize your tank space more efficiently. The result, the Penductor, a more efficient space-saving eductor made specifically for the surface finishing industry.
