OMG filter pumps are machines used in the surface treatment process known as “galvanostegia” or, more commonly, electroplating. This process consists of depositing a thin layer of another metal onto metal objects by electrolysis, for decorative, protective, or functional purposes.
OMG filter pumps play an essential role in filtering electrolytic solutions, contributing to bath stability, deposit quality, and the reduction of defects (e.g., pitting) on the finished product.
OMG filter pumps are used in the main electroplating processes, including:
Each unit is composed of two main functional assemblies:
Robust construction, careful material selection, and accurate design of the filtering section guarantee OMG filter pumps a long service life, reliable operation even under harsh conditions, and an extremely fine filtration grade (<1 µm), in line with the standards required by modern electroplating processes.
Filter pumps equipped with a mechanical seal. They ensure high filtration standards.
Effective capacity: 2,000 l/h to 5,000 l/h
Filtering surface area (m²): 0.2 to 1.22
Provide excellent filtration quality for small and medium-sized systems, from 500 L to 2,000 L
Filter pumps equipped with a magnetic entrainment pump. Recommended for filtering electroplating baths of Gold, Silver, and other precious metals (Palladium, Platinum, Ruthenium).
Effective capacity: 2,000 l/h to 5,000 l/h
Filtering surface (m²): 0.2 to 1.22
Provide excellent filtration quality for small and medium-sized systems, from 500 L to 2,000 L
Filter pumps equipped with a mechanical seal. They ensure high filtration standards even under demanding operating conditions.
Effective capacity: 5,000 l/h to 30,000 l/h
Filtering surface (m²): 2.7 to 20
Ideal for medium and large systems, from 1,500 L to 10,000 / 20,000 L
Device that allows the selective recovery of contaminating metals such as Nickel (Ni) and Copper (Cu). Effective in improving process sustainability.
Auxiliary devices and spare parts such as spare - filter pack, hoists, and rigid PP suction pipes manufactured by OMG are available ex stock. Among the available products, we also offer filter papers in various basis weights and micron ratings—different formats and diameters (custom sizes available upon request), carbon filters, filter layers pre-coated with diatomaceous earth / carbon, polyester and PP filter rolls, PP filter cloths, etc. These materials ensure operational continuity, consistent filtration quality, and maximum compatibility with OMG filter pumps as well as pumps from other suppliers.
