PP Gold Recovery & Settling Tank

Stop Washing Your Profits Down the Drain. The Imtex PP Settling Tank is a specialized filtration unit designed to capture heavy precious metal particles from sink runoff, floor washings, and machine discharge. Unlike standard PVC or steel tanks, this unit is constructed entirely from High-Grade Polypropylene (PP), making it 100% resistant to the harsh acids and chemicals often found in jewellery cleaning water (such as sulfuric acid or cyanide traces).

Using a multi-chamber “Baffle System,” the tank slows down the flow of water, allowing heavy gold and silver sludge to settle at the bottom of each compartment while clean water flows out. It is the most effective passive way to recover “lost” metal and keep your plumbing free of sediment.

Key Features

  • Chemical Resistance: Made from solid Polypropylene sheets, this tank can withstand acidic water and corrosive chemicals that would eat through metal or degrade standard plastics.

  • 3-Stage Baffle System: Internal vertical partitions force water to flow over and under barriers. This turbulence reduction ensures that even fine metal particles drop to the bottom before the water exits.

  • High-Yield Recovery: Designed specifically for recovering gold dust, polishing sludge, and investment powder residue.

  • Leak-Proof Construction: All joints are heat-welded (extrusion welding) to ensure a monolithic, watertight structure that lasts for decades.

  • Easy Maintenance: Removable lids or accessible chambers make it easy to scoop out the valuable sludge for refining at the end of the month.

  • Eco-Friendly: Prevents harmful heavy metals and plaster sediment from entering the municipal sewage system.


Ideal Applications

  • Acid Wash Stations: Perfect for sinks where “Bombing” or acid cleaning takes place.

  • Hand Wash Areas: Capturing gold dust washed off worker’s hands.

  • Polishing Rooms: Settling out polishing rouge and metal dust from wet-polishing operations.

  • Investment Removal: Trapping heavy plaster sludge before it clogs your main drain pipes.
