Recovers 99.99% of the silver in X-ray fixer and developer wastewater. Continuous, chemical-free and safe to drain.
Wastewater flows in from your processors, the silver stays behind, and clean water goes to drain. Recovery runs continuously, day and night.
Connect up to five X-ray film processors. Fixer and developer wastewater is treated continuously as it is produced, at 0.26 gal/min (1 L/min).
Patented metallic-exchange media in the MixExchanger filters captures 99.99% of the silver. No chemicals are dosed at any point.
Treated water leaves the unit ready for the drain, with nothing hazardous to haul away. Spent filters go for refining, and the recovered silver offsets your costs.
The standard set-up runs on two short columns. For high-volume operations, SuperPac 4 gives the MBX-1000 four larger columns and 1,000 gal of capacity.
Four larger columns in one crate on an integrated skid, taking the MBX-1000 to 1,000 gal of capacity.
Every MBX-1000 reports to Metatrax, our cloud monitoring platform. It tracks the volume through each column, flags when a change is due, and emails your team with troubleshooting steps.

Filter changes are planned from volumetric treatment data, not guesswork. With Metatrax, the system is monitored 24/7 and you get email alerts before a change is due.
No. The MBX-1000 uses Metafix’s patented MixExchanger metallic-exchange media: no chemicals are dosed and no hazardous sludge is produced.
NDT radiography labs, aerospace inspection departments and investment casters that process X-ray film in house. For mobile crews and field labs, see the MBX-MI. Many customers also pair the MBX-1000 with a BCMS for better and more predictable results.
