Ultrafiltration of electrophoretic paint
Filtration module for the ultrafiltration of electrophoretic paint combines ease of use and cleaning of flat modules with compactness of spiral modules at a more competitive price.
Orelis is launching a new individual filtration module, named Pleiade MP4, for the ultrafiltration of electrophoretic paint Available in two versions, MP450 and MP470, it has the advantage of combining the ease of use and cleaning of flat modules with the compactness of spiral modules at a more competitive price

With a ban on the general use of HCFC-solvents being implemented on January 1st next year, 3M will be exhibiting approved and effective specialty solvent replacements for HCFCs.
Co-solvent ousts 'trich' to clean aircraft parts
For the maintenance of precision aircraft components, British Airways Component Engineering at Hayes, has replaced trichloroethylene with a faster, more efficient co-solvent cleaning system.
Based on the tried and tested technology of Pleiade modules, the filtering surface of the Pleiade MP4 consists of a stack of separate membranes.
A unique feature is the ability to see the quality of permeate from each membrane through a window and isolate individual membranes by means of a small valve.
This allows doing away with any production stoppage.

Chlorinated solvents replaced in cleaning
Engineered fluids provide high performance cleaning and overcome the safety and environmental concerns associated with chlorinated solvents.
Extremely functional, the major components of MP4 are manufactured from plastics and composites.
It is strong, and extremely resistant to any type of corrosion.
Its design makes it interchangeable and modular.
Light and compact, it is very easy to handle.
It differs technically in that the membranes are supported on flat plates with an open paint channel and is claimed to offer more stable performance and more effective membrane cleaning.
Surfaces are fast and easy to clean with the permeate.
This 'green' module does not reject polluting effluent.
What is more; the MP4 module is designed as an alternative and replacement to spiral systems and retains the modular concept offering flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Supplied in a 'ready to use' condition, it can be put immediately into service as new or replacement equipment.
Its price is competitive and it provides a rapid return on investment.
To date, Orelis has supplied all the major automobile manufacturers and more than 100 modules are in operation throughout the world.
Orelis filtration modules have numerous applications in the field of surface treatment.
In the automobile and mechanical engineering sectors, membranes produce the ultrafiltrate needed for rinsing after cataphoretic painting, and recycle demineralised water.
They also separate water from oil or recycle degreasing baths.
Orelis offers different types of membranes suitable for new types of paint.
These new membranes can be used to enhance the filtrate or concentrate in widely diverse applications.
The company's expertise starts with a wide range of membranes, and includes advices for their use and implementation.
It also offers a complete range of services, from audits to operator training.
