Sanford, FL, March 19, 2007 –
Argonide Corporation has responded to strong market demand for it's
NanoCeram® electropositive filters in high-flow applications. These applications are
now in reach using Argonide’s HyFlo™ multi-round Big Blue filter housings. This new line
of housings meets the need of users in food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, metals, power
generation, automotive and printing industries.
Many industrial and commercial
settings have limited floor space and it is often impractical to install and service
multiple filter housings in order to gain higher flow capacity. The costs associated with
the time and labor to service multiple housings creates an additional burden for many
organizations. A NanoCeram® HyFlo™ housing provides the user with
all the NanoCeram® technological advantages, but in a single stainless steel
housing. Each housing provides the flow rates, the ultra-high efficiencies and the large
capacity of NanoCeram® Filters while avoiding the disadvantages of multiple
housings. The user also eliminates the installation complexity and increased maintenance
time and costs to service multiple housings as often found in many facilities.
Argonide’s
custom-built stainless steel housings are available in three sizes. All hold multiple 4.5”
x 20” Big Blue cartridge filters and can attain peak flow rates of up to 420gpm (264gpm
using nominal flow rates) per housing. Manufactured from high quality 304 or 316 Stainless
Steel, each housing is 150 psi-rated and utilizes clamp closures. The HBB-60 and HBB-120
models incorporate a 3" flange and the HBB-240 model uses a 4" flange. Depending on the
customer’s needs, Argonide can also supply other sizes for the inlet and/or outlet.
The advantages
of NanoCeram® HyFlo™ Big Blue housings include:
1.
In high flow rate
applications, a single HyFlo™ housing minimizes labor costs versus multiple
standard housings;
2.
Plumbing and system
design is simpler when installing a single HyFlo™ housing versus multiple
standard housings;
3.
A stainless steel
housing typically lasts longer than a plastic housing;
4.
Greater pressure rating
is attainable versus plastic housings;
5.
Space savings resulting
from a minimized footprint;
6.
Most cost efficient use
of NanoCeram® Filter Cartridges.
