Penguin SM Filter System

sm-syst.jpg (5192 bytes)Penguin Series SM filter systems are designed to provide a complete, ultra compact, portable, Leakproof filter system. Equipped with the Penguin M Series polypropylene or PVDF magnetic drive pump and the rugged Penguin CPVC or polypropylene filter chamber, SM filter systems are a simple, economical, efficient system for filtering and circulating acid and alkaline solutions. These include precious metal plating solutions, high chlorides, sulfuric and alkaline cyanide solutions. The smaller, compact SM filter systems are excellent for complete corrosion resistant filtration in laboratories, pilot plants and production applications. Penguin SM filter systems are easy to clean and simple for filter cartridge replacement. The single threaded head or the easy grip handles requiring no tools, releases the filter chamber head. There is no dismantling and no danger from breakage.

Penguin filter chambers are constructed of CPVC or polypropylene to handle solution temperature to180oF and feature completely Leakproof filtration. Penguin filter chambers have no fragile Lucite or glass. They can accept most Penguin filter cartridges. The M Series pumps, constructed of polypropylene or PVDF are magnetically driven. The only moving part in the pump is the plastic encapsulated impeller magnet assembly that rotates on an internal pure ceramic spindle up against a ceramic thrust washer. Because the pump is seal less there is no leakage due to seal wear. An oversized priming chamber can be added to facilitate priming the pump.


All Penguin filter systems are fully equipped and ready to operate including valves, polypropylene base, 20 feet of reinforced braided hose, all necessary clamps and fittings, drain valve, flow control valve, and initial set of filter cartridges (15 micron unless otherwise specified). Those systems which incorporate series 6C filter chambers also include Penguin PG series pressure gauge and guard assembly and vent valve. Penguin M Series pumps are equipped with a TEFC motors. Single and three phase are available on most sizes.

The flow rates are calculated using 15 micron wound filter tubes and a medium dirt load.  Clean tube rates will be higher. Using pleated filters or bag chamber will increase the filtration rates.

Chamber material will be CPVC - Specify for polypropylene chambers in lieu of CPVC however not available on all sizes.

Most systems are available with PVDF pumps in lieu of polypropylene.  Most chambers (except 6C and 12C) are available in PVDF.  Special systems are common -- to obtain additional pressure for solution spargers or eductors. systems.  Consult KTH Sales regarding these options.
