EMT (E-Coat Membrane Technology) is a subsidiary company of Synder Filtration and sister company of PolyTechs Inc. It was formed to provide all the membrane technologies required for the Electrocoat process from a single source.

These technologies inclulde ultrafiltration systems for e-coat paint recovery, anolyte systems for acid removal, and reverse osmosis systems to provide high quality water for paint operation.

Why Spirals?
Spirals have become the industry standard for electrocoat paint operation and are favored above all other technologies, including Plate and Frame, Cassette, Tubular, Multi-Tubular, Hollow Fiber, Sand Logs, and even Carbon Tubes.
Spirals are the standard for two main reasons:
1. Their superior performance and
2. Their low operating cost.
Spirals have been proven to offer the best operating economics over all other membrane configurations, and thus many companies sell more spirals than they do other configurations. They offer the lowest cost per unit area, the lowest energy consumption per unit of permeate produced along with the smallest footprint and the absolute lowest installation cost.

Why EMT?
Synder Filtration was originally formed to manufacture membranes to meet the needs of its own internal operations. As the demand for high quality product increased in the marketplace, we turned our expertise and resources in that direction.
Along a parallel but separate course, PolyTechs Inc. of Japan developed and patented Tubular Anolyte Cells for the Electrocoat process. These Tubular Anolyte Cells have become the worldwide industry standard, and even our competitors are licensees of this technology.

Why EMT Spirals?
In addition to having the best UF membrane available, we have made improvements in the basic spiral element design. These include integral bottom plugs, improved fiberglass outer wraps, and Virgin ABS anti-telescoping devices (ATDs) with accomodations for our Element Handle that makes loading and unloading elements easier for your maintenance people. Our products are always consistent because of our ISO 9001 Certification. We are cost competitive, we offer both direct replacements and improved replacements for all the other spirals offered in the marketplace and finally, we have UFCC testing to guarantee longer membrane life. If you would like longer membrane life, ask your EMT representative about our UFCC testing.
