Are you ready for July shutdown? Now is an excellent time to inspect your anodes.

If you are short on time, at least rotate the anodes inside the membrane shell. While current flows from the entire circumference of the anode, the front side will sometimes indicate a little more wear. You can extend the life of the anodes by rotating them.

Try our TruIDL™ E-Coat Process Data Logger for increased efficiencies and cost savings.

This affordable, miniature, submersible logger with intuitive interface measures and records voltage on the surface of your ware as it travels through the E-Coat paint tank.

Quit the guessing game. Know how much paint flow is going to your UF System. Buy a Tiger Mag!

If you have Precious Metal Electrodes (PME) in your E-Coat tank, save money on replacement parts by recoating! As the anode wears, the coating wears off, but the pipe underneath in most cases isn’t damaged. UFS Corporation makes it easy for you to save money (and reduce waste) by having the anodes recoated, so they are as good as new.

We recently discovered a customer who questioned whether UFS makes Ultrafiltration (UF) Systems. Good news…we do!

Our TruFlux™ Ultrafilter Systems
*Are Built to Outperform Other
*Accept Any “7640 Type” UF Element
*Are Designed with the Operator in Mind

For more information, visit our website at ufsc.com and type 998301 in the search box to access our TruFlux Ultrafilter Systems Catalog.

It’s always a good idea to keep equipment maintained, especially your Ultrafiltration System. UF Systems change as they’re operated, and the equipment ages. When trouble occurs, baseline data provides a great benchmark for comparison.

Two areas where we often receive questions include permeate and bag filters:

*Permeate is used for rinsing purposes and also to reclaim undeposited paint solids – 4.5 gallons of permeate is used to rinse every 100 sq. ft. of ware.

* Bag Filters should be changed when paint flow is reduced by 3% or when the delta P is 5 psi (inlet and outlet pressure). Use 25 micron heat treated/glazed bags. Not changing bags on a regular basis will cause the UF elements to fail over time.

We are discovering new uses for the TruIDL E-coat Process Data Logger. A recent run at a customer’s E-coat tank uncovered an issue with their DC Rectifier.

AC ripple is always going to be present in the DC output of the rectifier and should be under 5%. Charted data from the run showed the AC ripple at about 48%. This was confirmed by an electrician who measured the AC and DC voltage at the rectifier.

So now the customer is empowered with new information about the health of their electrical system and can take appropriate steps to correct deficiencies.
