Investment casters X-ray their critical parts in-house. Metafix recovers the silver from their film chemistry and treats the silver wash water.
Castings for aerospace, energy and medical customers are radiographed to find porosity, shrinkage and inclusions before they ship. Many foundries run their own film radiography departments, and every film processed leaves fixer and developer saturated with dissolved silver, followed by wash water that carries what is left.
Silver is a regulated heavy metal and a valuable one. The MBX family recovers 99.99% of the silver from fixer and developer with no chemicals and no toxic sludge. Where silver wash water needs treatment, the RT3 brings it under 1 ppm before it goes to drain.
