3M PRK User Manual
Zeta Plus™
PRK
The Zeta Plus™ PRK (Press Retrofit Kit) kit economically adapts Sparkler® presses for
use with Zeta Plus filter cartridges. This 3 piece kit is easy to install and eliminates the
inefficiencies associated with Sparkler press filters. Presses are noted for operating problems such as bypass, leaking, extensive labor, recirculation of product to achieve quality
specification, media disposal, product waste, and operator safety. Zeta Plus cartridges will
dramatically improve product quality and reduce operating costs, while retrofitting existing hardware provides capital savings by eliminating new hardware.
Zeta Plus PRK Kit Performance Benefits
The Zeta Plus PRK kit has established new quality standards and eliminated product
rejection and rework. Conversion from a Sparkler Press to Zeta Plus PRK kit eliminated shipping delays, increased productivity, and reduced overall operating costs. A
typical comparison of the two systems, as shown in “The Zeta Plus PRK Advantage”
below, demonstrates how the Zeta Plus PRK conversion dramatically reduced operating costs.
