Lab Series

For laboratory, prototype and clean production operations in tanks smaller than 10 gallons (38 liters). Popular for precious metals plating and a host of applications in the electronics and decorative fields. Maximum flow rate is 400 gph (1500 LPH), depending on filter cartridges and attachments selected.

BX650

The BX650 can be used in tanks as small as 10 gallons to a few hundred gallons (38 to about 1,000 L), depending on tank-turnover and agitation requirements. Pump provides maximum flow rate of 650 gallons per hour (2400 liters per hour) using a motor rated at 1/15th hp (50-watt). A good choice if tank is too large for the Lab Series but too small for the BX1200.

BX1200

Lightweight, high-flow-rate, easy-to-use system is the industry workhorse. Features a 1/12th-hp (60-watt) motor and requires only a 4-in.-square (10-cm-sq) area of in-tank space yet provides vigorous agitation and a maximum flow rate of 1200 gph (4500 LPH). Remove filter cartridge and insert carbon-containing attachment to treat for organics.

BXL2500

Low-profile, belt-drive unit is reserved for applications where above-tank clearance is limited. Provides a maximum flow rate of 2500 gph (9500 LPH). Inverted motor arrangement stands just 2 inches (5 cm) above tank. As with other larger models, Impeller Housing swivels to enable preferred positioning of Discharge Port and filter cartridges in tank.

BX3000

It weighs just over 20 lb (9 kg) yet offers a maximum flow rate of 3,000 gph (11,500 LPH). Can be used with one, two or even four filter cartridges. Like all Flo King pumps, the BX3000 prevents bath stratification by circulating to promote uniform temperature and chemical composition. Can also be used with carbon treatment accessories to remove organic impurities.

BX5000

Excellent for larger tanks or anywhere aggressive agitation is desired. Operates with 3/4-hp motor and pumps a maximum of 5,000 gph (19,000 LPH) yet is still portable. Like other Flo King units, it is available in CPVC, polypropylene, stainless steel and PVDF (Kynar), and can be used with reusable or disposable filter cartridges. Available for single-phase or three-phase electrical service.

BXL5000

 Like the BXL2500, this unit features a low-profile design to avoid above-tank obstructions. But at a maximum 5000 gph (19,000 LPH), it offers twice the flow rate. Accepts full complement of accessories, including Slide-In Filter Cartridge Adapter for changing filter cartridges without moving pump from tank. Low-profile belt-drive units are used where above-tank clearance is limited. 

Magnum Reusable Filter (standard type)

Consists of a Standard Magnum Core, reusable filter blanket, and Web. Simply insert the cartridge into the Flo King pump and tighten the Filter Screws onto the rolled filter blanket. The Magnum blanket is made from polypropylene, is available in 10, 5 and 1 micron, and is compatible with many metal-finishing solutions up to 200 F (93 C). It can be used on Flo King in-tank pumps or in out-of-tank filter chambers.
Super Magnum: This is similar to the Magnum blanket but is made of a polyester material instead of polypropylene and is available in 30 and 75 microns. It is the only material recommended for hard chromium plating and other aggressive chromic acid solutions. Super Magnum can also be used for iron phosphate and other baths that generate lots of solids. However, Super Magnum is not suitable for high-temperature alkaline cleaners and other aggressive caustic solutions.

Permacore Magnum Reusable Filter

This reusable cartridge is distinguished by the polypropylene (Permacore) head at one end and is the most popular type for Flo King in-tank applications. Just tighten the Filter Screws on the Flo King pump directly onto the Permacore head, thus eliminating wear and tear on the reusable filter blanket. The Permacore cartridge allows the operator to be less exact about rolling up the filter blanket after cleaning. Even if the blanket isn't rolled up snugly, the Permacore head makes the connection to the Flo King pump because of its fixed size and shape. Magnum and Super Magnum blankets and Webs used for the Permacore reusable cartridge are the same as those used for the Standard reusable cartridge.

Flo King Poly-Spun Disposable Filter Cartridges

These high-purity, all-polypropylene disposable filter cartridges are ideal for the rigorous demands of the metal finishing and allied industries.
Just insert the Poly-Spun cartridge directly into the Flo King pump and begin filtering. No pre-cleaning is required because Poly-Spuns do not contain any resins, binders, lubricants, anti-static agents or other impurities that can contaminate solution.

Micron Ratings and Lengths
Poly-Spuns are available in lengths of 4, 6, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 inches (10, 15, 25, 38, 50, 75, and 100 cm) and in a wide range of micron ratings.
