Improve your cathode quality without stopping production

EW cell cleaning with mobile equipment that operates cell by cell while your tankhouse keeps producing. Pneumatic suction and in-situ filtration system that returns electrolyte to the circuit with less than 3 ppm solids.

Tecionic EW cell cleaning system in operation

Results that impact your operation

Zero electrolyte loss

Closed system that returns 100% of filtered electrolyte with less than 3 ppm solids.

Lower energy consumption

Elimination of deposits causing short circuits reduces electrical expense per ton.

Assured cathode quality

Total elimination of crud causing cathode contamination.

Extended anode lifespan

Less crud accumulation reduces wear and extends replacement cycles.

Cleaning without interrupting your operation

Our mobile system operates cell by cell while the rest of your tankhouse keeps producing.

Tecionic Convenience

Only 100-200L outside the cell

Although we suction at 6 m³/hour, the continuous return system keeps only 100-200 liters outside at any moment.

Safety without compromise

We eliminate the inherent risks of traditional EW cell cleaning.

No confined spaces

Our system operates from outside the cell. Operators never need to enter confined spaces.

  • No lead oxide exposure
  • No special permits

No acid exposure

Closed suction and filtration system eliminates direct contact with corrosive solutions.

  • Zero chemical burns
  • Complies with safety regulations

Certified protocols

We operate under the highest safety standards required by the mining industry.

  • SG-SSSC Protocol
  • "Life-Saving Rules"

Zero safety incidents

In our complete crud removal operation at over 4,000 meters altitude, we maintained a zero incident rate throughout the entire contract execution.

Guaranteed performance at any site

Pumps, filter presses, and control panels certified to operate above 4,000 meters altitude. Auxiliary systems designed for high-altitude conditions, with updated preventive maintenance.

Equipment that installs directly on the tankhouse grating, next to the cells. No civil works, no permanent construction. Quick relocation between tankhouse sectors.

2-3 inch suction lines with antistatic certification for safe work in energized cell environments. No spark or electrical contact risk.
