> Calcium Carbonate
> Dyestuffs
> EDTA
> Flame retardants
> Gypsum, HMX, Illmenite
> KCl, Penicillin, RDX,
> Lead citrate, Lead paste,
> Molecular Sieves, Nickel Chloride
> Sodium Sulphate, Terepthalic acid, Urea Prills
> Vermiculite, Zirconium.
* Lean Design * The SME poly filters remove the need for numerous components compared to Horizontal process filters including:
> expensive rubber carrier transporter belts
> heavy steel support structures
> transporter belt wearing strips
> belt tension mechanisms
> reciprocating trays
> flexible tray connections
> tray support rollers
> geared motors
> cloth travel measurement
> electrical control panels
The partnership is envisaged to take the form of a commercial agency agreement or a distribution services agreement.
