Recover silver at 99.99%.
Stay compliant doing it.

Silver recovery for X-ray film processing, from fixed-site labs to mobile NDT crews, plus the chemistry that feeds them. Gold recovery from PCB plating chemistry runs on the same exchange process.

MBX-1000
Fixed site

MBX-1000

Recovers silver from X-ray fixer and developer wastewater, connected directly to up to five processors. Patented MixExchanger filters are changed on measured volume, not on a calendar.

Bulk chemical mixing

BCMS

Mixes fixer and developer to the manufacturer’s spec, hands-off. Two 250-gal (946 L) tanks on movable skids with level-sensing straws, and a compact replenisher unit that feeds up to five processors. No pumps, no moving parts, low maintenance.

Heavy metals out.
Clean water to drain.

Chromium, copper and nickel captured from plating, finishing and aerospace rinse water, then discharged by gravity with zero hazardous sludge.

RT3
Heavy metal treatment

RT3

Captures chromium, copper, nickel and silver, and sends treated water to drain, evaporation or reuse at under 1 ppm. No chemicals added, no hazardous sludge to haul away.

RW3
Rinse water management

RW3

Measures conductivity, pH and temperature across up to eight rinse tanks without a single pump. Pump-less venturi sampling runs on your facility’s existing compressed air, so there’s no cross-contamination and nothing mechanical to wear out.

MetaColumns

Where the magic happens.

Every Metafix system runs on columns packed with patented metallic-exchange media. Add columns to add capacity. There are no volume limitations.

2short columns

The standard set-up.

Two short filter columns of patented metallic-exchange media. Metatrax tracks the volume through them, so they're changed when they're spent, not on a calendar.

SuperPac 4
4large columns

More capacity for bigger volumes.

Four larger columns in one crate, taking the MBX-1000 to 1,000 gal (3,785 L) of capacity for high-volume operations.

SuperPac-8
8large columns

Built for rinse water.

Double the SuperPac 4, dedicated to the RT3. Eight large columns for high-volume plating and finishing rinse water at 16 L/min.
