WATER & EFFLUENT TREATMENT

SIEBEC UK introduce ; IONPURE™ continuously eliminates metals polluting the chromium ( III ) baths in order to guarantee optimal concentration and constant parts quality . 4kg of polluting metal collected in one cycle !

A revolution for the chrome ( III ) bath treatment
Traditionally , to avoid massive pollution of the treatment baths , baths are often completely drained and refilled with brand new chromium ( III ) solution . Such maintenance represents a significant cost . It leads to a complete stop of the production , a major quantity of effluent to treat and a non-negligible cost of a brand new solution .
IONPURE™ treats the chromium ( III ) bath continuously , keeping metal ion pollution to a minimum . Thus , there is no interruption in production and the volume of effluent is minimal compared to the traditional method . Once the ion exchange resin is saturated ( 50 g of metal for 1 litre of resin ), IONPURE™ switches to regeneration mode to clean the resin of impurities in order to reuse it in the next cycle .
Note : As IONPURE™ does not have an integrated analysis system , regular monitoring and analysis of the chrome plating bath is necessary to trigger the resin regeneration mode .
Machine stop mode
This mode allows the IONPURE™ circuit to be completely emptied and cleaned , in order to avoid any risk of crystallization inside its various elements .
Product Features
10 μm pre-filtration , Ion exchange resin ( 40 or 80 l ), Storage of regenerating solution , 100 % polypropylene pneumatic valve , Special resin strainer , Compact design , Touch screen interface .

Quality parts . Guaranteed
Zero bath contamination due to the build-up of metal impurities . Continuous high quality , every time .
Increased productivity
No production line interruption . Reduced maintenance frequency .
Durable and profitable investment
Removal of a significant part of the cost linked to maintenance . Reduced environmental footprint thanks to minimal effluent disposal .
Automatic regeneration mode
When the bath analysis reveals an abnormal level of polluting metals , it means that the resin is saturated and that it is time to regenerate it . The operator then activates the “ automatic regeneration ” mode . The IONPURE will then successively evacuate the metals and regenerate the resin .
