•   ADVANTAGES

 

• KӦHLER EX-type membrane can expanded freely from the dry state to the wet state and offers:

• Lower energy absorption

• High penetrating power at a given voltage (15 to 20% or more)

• Process safety

• The EX anodes allow pressurised anolyte circulation (650 L/h at 0.3 bar and up to 1000 L/h at 0.6 bar).

• The calculated requirements of the EX anode go from 3 to 5 L / h / Ampere / m 2.

• Zero losses and less paint caking thanks to the impermeable extruded membrane.

• Because of its special construction, there is no risk of the EX cell overflowing in the bath.

• There is no risk of syphoning if the EX membrane should break. Since the anolyte circulation is pressurised, it provides a counter-pressure that prevents this risk.

• In the event of bacterial contamination, the EX anodes can be washed and completely emptied by means of a screw plug at the bottom.

• EX-type expands as it has no external /internal constraints.

 

          

         Maintenance

 

• EX-type can be dried, just wash the surface with demineralised or tap water. Leaving the anolyte circulation at a lower flow rate during maintenance.

• The surface of the ex membrane can be brushed with “scotch brite” to remove caked/dried paint.

• EX anodes weigh only 15 kg each (the active membrane is 2.1 m long).

• No special lifting equipment is required to move or replace KӦHLER EX-type  anodes on their supports (one or two operators).

• At most two people are required to carry out maintenance on an AUF anode.

• KӦHLER EX-type anode can be extracted easily, thanks to a PVC screw at the top of the cell.

 

• Lifetime

 

• The EX membrane remains smooth without wrinkling or breaking that would clog the membrane with paint pigments.

• KӦHLER gives twelve months warranty on the EX membrane (EX electrodes not included) for a continuous or discontinuous system.

• Experience shows that EX anodes function properly even after 5 years.

• Turning only the EX electrode by 90° every six months makes them last longer.
