· Can be used for other types of filter cartridges
· Can be used to hold a 55 gal waste drum
· 2" of lead shielding, stainless steel clad

· Top or bottom loading
· ½ ton, stainless steel chain hoist w/ 50ft lift.
The Filter Transfer Shield (Model FTS-11) houses a Filter Basket containing eleven Tri Nuclear filter cartridges. The Filter Transfer Shield is transported on a stainless steel dolly that can be moved via overhead crane, fork truck or manually moved to another location.
The stainless steel filter basket is normally positioned on the bottom of the cavity refueling pool into which expended Tri Nuclear filter cartridges are transferred and stored. The filter shield has a strong-back assembly that attaches to the polar crane and also supports an electric hoist that is used for lowering and raising the filter basket into the shield. The electric hoist is rated for a ½ ton lift and has 50 feet of stainless steel chain with hook. A 40’ power cable and control pendant is attached to the hoist with electrical disconnects. The transfer shield electric hoist has an open hook that remotely attaches to the lift bale for raising the basket into the shield.
The filter lead shield has 2” of rolled lead, and the removable top cover has 1-1/2” of lead. The bottom 1” of lead shielding is canned into the dolly. The filter shield has a bottom drip pan that is easily installed to collect any small amounts of residual water from an expended filter cartridge during transfer. The filter basket is made of stainless steel and 11 filter cartridges are top loaded into it. A top centered lifting bale is provided to lift the filter basket.
