new prod u c ts Edited by El McKenzie emckenzie@gardnerweb.com Dust, Fume Collector Offers Redesigned Features The Gold Series cartridge dust and fume collector from Camfil Farr APC has been redesigned to include a reinforced door with double-thick hinges; easier-to-operate hardware; and a single flat inside panel to create a smooth, air-tight gasket seal. A taller inlet collar accommodates larger fans with adequate clearance, and fans are equipped with a damper actuator handle that enables the user to see from ground level whether the damper is in open or closed position. Inside the collector, the gaskets have been moved to the edges of the pan so that no dust builds up on top of the vertically mounted filters during operation. Accessories and options include redesigned, long-life filter cartridges available with new media choices; a wider selection of hopper configurations; new touch-screen controls for energy savings and enhanced filter cleaning; integrated or remote safety monitoring filters; a high-performance spark diverter inlet; and a new diaphragm silencer that reduces the noise level. A variety of explosion protection devices also are available for inlet and outlet explosion protection and explosion venting.

It is engineered for use on virtually all commonly used base materials, and specifically is said to provide high yields and reduced rejects when plated on aluminum, brass, steel and zinc die cast parts. Cuprostar NC features improved throwing power on complex part geometries, resulting in complete, consistent and uniform coverage, the company says. The process does not require a specialized pretreatment cycle and uses virtually the same process sequence as a cyanide-based system. By adjusting the temperature, pH and copper content, the Cuprostar NC process can be modified to meet specific brightness, current density, adhesion and throwing power application requirements.
