Auto Reclaim Water Filtration
Admiral:
Thanks guys. I was afraid the smaller units wouldn't keep up with auto reclaim and their consumables cost more, are more wasteful. There is also a simpler system that uses a stainless steel pre filter and then filter bags I believe:

I just wasn't sure it would keep up with our machine, it's half the capacity of the CMAFU-2. It probably would so maybe I should reconsider it but there will be a higher consumable cost and likely more to manually take care of.

Call Hydroblaster, they can walk you through what you'd need.
We have a newer Image Technology machine with an older roll media/spill tank style filter unit (which I despise). I've been looking at replacing the filter setup. This machine has WAY more fluid throughput than the smaller filtration systems can handle.
The SGreen unit has a 70 micron/20 micron cartridge filter setup and will clog up with emulsion solids very quickly and it will flood the reclaim room. I know this from first hand experience. ::)
I would say for an auto-reclaim setup the CMAFU-2 would probably be the *minimum* capacity filter. Any filter with half that capacity would be for a manual setup that you stick under the washout booth.
We are looking at the CMAFU-2 as a second stage, which would be in line after a solids settling tank. (although we are limited in tank size in our reclaim room)

Blue Water also has some pretty good small foot print options.
