The SpinTek SX filters are specifically designed to provide excellent
organic removal and filtered electrolyte for the solvent extraction market.
The filters are ruggedly designed and built to operate in the difficult
environments of solvent extraction plants.
Matrix™ Tower
For 75% Organic Recovery from Aqueous
Matrix Tower for Removal
of Organic from Aqueous
Standard Features
- Easily recovered organic
- No air introduction
- Reliable performance
- Hydrophobic Matrix plates for coalescing
- No moving parts
- Simple, safe operation
Matrix Tower For Organic Coalescing
The SpinTek Matrix™ Tower is specifically designed to provide
excellent organic recovery of up to 75% from the electrolyte or
raffinate stream of solvent extraction plants without air injection. The
recovery of organic improves the operating efficiency of the plant and
greatly reduces the backwash frequency of the dual media filters prior
to electro winning.
The Matrix Towers are free standing, self-contained filtration units
available in a variety of standard sizes with individual flow rates of
up to 2,000 gpm (454 m3/hr) with multiple units accommodating higher
flow rates. All vessels, packing and organic sensing probes are provided
for a completely automatic system.
How The Filtration System Operates
The Matrix Tower has no moving parts, unlike other filtration systems.
Aqueous enters through the bottom of the Matrix Tower and flows upward
through SpinTek’s hydrophobic non-clogging Matrix media packing. The
Matrix media packing provides a vast surface area for the organic in the
aqueous stream to coalesce or "stick" to and collect.
Additional organic will "stick" to the organic already on the
plates to form larger droplets that will then break free and begin to
float. These large organic droplets formed in the Matrix Tower are
released from the packing to flow along with the aqueous moving upward
through the packing.
Once the aqueous flow passes through the media packing it takes a
reverse turn and flows down through the outer shell of the Matrix Tower.
The lighter coalesced organic will continue in a upwardly direction and
collect in the top of the tower. Here the concentrated organic is
collected and automatically discharged from the tower for reuse in the
plant, completing the filtration cycle.
Stable Trouble Free Operation
The Matrix Tower works well regardless of the level of incoming organic
in the aqueous stream. Other filtration systems which rely on air
flotation must be constantly adjusted to maintain satisfactory removal
efficiencies. Air flotation of organic also causes potential personnel
and environmental hazards by gassing off diluent into the air. By
contrast, the Matrix Tower is a completely sealed filtration system.
This safety measure assures the prevention of hydrocarbons escaping into
the atmosphere.

Speedy™ by SpinTek
Rotating Ceramic Ultrafilter
Foul-resistant, high-shear filtration system for parts bath
solutions
High Productivity
Speedy™ by SpinTek solves filtration problems associated with
high temperature, highly alkaline process streams and metal
working fluids. This compact, high shear Rotating Ceramic
Ultrafilter (RCU) significantly extends bath life in a typical
metalworking or parts shop. Speedy features a rapidly spinning
eleven-inch ceramic membrane disk to generate shear that is
orders of magnitude greater than conventional UF systems. This
powerful rotational shear prevents fouling and provides high,
very stable system throughput. As a result, Speedy promotes
longer bath life by effectively maintaining viable bath
chemistries.
Low Maintenance
SpinTek’s high-shear, Rotating Ceramic Ultrafilter is proven
superior in treating highly viscous waste streams that were
previously considered untreatable. Its ceramic membrane is
easily removed for quick cleaning and inspection — simply
remove a few bolts and sponge off the ceramic membrane disk.
The result is dramatically reduced downtime and maintenance
costs, savings on bath solutions, and cleaner parts. Speedy
requires minimal operator assistance and the small footprint
saves space in facilities where floor space is at a premium.
Key Benefits
- Improves performance, significantly decreases downtime,
and extends bath life
- Quick release clamp facilitates fast, easy opening of unit
for membrane cleaning and maintenance
- Single disk ceramic membrane withstands heat, high pH
- Powerful rotational shear prevents fouling and provides
high, very stable system throughput
- Available in multiple disk configurations
- Virtually foul-resistant with especially oily or sludgy
streams
- Spinning eleven-inch ceramic disk generates shear that is
orders of magnitude greater than conventional UF systems
- Concentrates waste and process streams previously
considered untreatable
- Costs up to 75% less than competitive ultrafiltration
technologies
- Small footprint eliminates floor space cramping
ST-II Concept
Speedy’s innovative design is based on
SpinTek’s patented ST-II Rotating Ceramic Ultrafilter (RCU)
technology.
Highly Effective Membranes
SpinTek has spent nearly three decades in the research and
development of its ceramic membranes and centrifugal systems.
Formed from a fine, ceramic nanopowder, the SpinTek membranes
better resist fouling from oily and sludgy materials. Combined
with high shear that is orders of magnitude greater than
conventional UF systems, Speedy’s ceramic membranes allow the
system to process a wide variety of viscous solutions containing
moderate to high solids.
Choose Your Configuration
Speedy is available in a single disk configuration that is
especially well-suited for operations with parts baths of 350
gallons or less. For larger volumes, Speedy is available in
multiple disk configurations. The five-disk Speedy unit can
process up to 1,500 gallons per day. Speedy’s low cost
combined with savings from reduced maintenance and downtime
brings a quick return on investment.
