Koch Membrane Systems, Inc. (KMS), a global leader in the development and manufacture of membrane filtration technologies, launched a new line of Electrocoat (E-coat) paint spiral ultrafiltration membranes offering manufacturers greater recovery of paint resin and pigments.
As an industry leading membrane technology supplier, KMS pioneered the potted spiral design for E-coat paint in 2003. This innovation provided energy efficiency, zero bypass operation and longer membrane life, as well as a simplified system design with easy and safe membrane replacement.
The new KPAK® PLUS and SPIRAPAK PLUS modules feature optimized element design and construction to improve performance while providing the same excellent separation properties and low fouling characteristics as the traditional KPAK and SPIRAPAK modules.
“With up to 20 percent higher productivity, these new products will benefit end users by improving paint yields and reducing overall operating costs,” says Taylour Johnson, product manager of Industrial Processes at KMS. “The new products are a direct replacement for our previous line and do not require system modifications.”
Benefits of ultrafiltration in the E-coat process include:
The KPAK PLUS and SPIRAPAK PLUS modules, as well as the PLUS version of the flanged and drop-in spiral elements for E-Coat paint are now readily available in all product sizes and configurations.
