QUICKSILVER - SILVER RECOVERY FILTERS
The QUICKSILVER filter is the best type of cartridge the industry has seen in years. It produces great silver results and meets the strictest levels of silver compliance. The Quicksilver cartridge comes in many different sizes to fit on any type of silver recovery system. These cartridges are unique because of its triple stage process and desilvering method. They are constructed by sandwiching a layer a chopped steel wool between two tightly packed spools of wound steel wool forming the triple stage process. The first stage collects the majority of the silver in the bottom of the canister, while the second stage is designed to capture the balance of the silver. The third and final stage ensures compliance as well as acting as a final filter, trapping some emulsions and particulate matter. Cartridge channeling is greatly minimized with this type of process. This results with less iron entering the drain, while maximizing your silver yield.
Our other type of cartridges used in Black & White fixer applications is the Silver Maker type cell units. These are primarily for low to medium volumes users. All Silver cartridges should utilize a pumping station such as the ECO D3, ECO Mini, ECO 2 in order to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency.
