Self
Cleaning Tank Technology:
Each
polycarbonate tank in the ICM™ Rack system features
our proprietary
bottom drain system which promotes continuous, worry-free
automatic cleaning. Recirculated water constantly drains
through the bottom of the tank, which allows uneaten feed
and fecal solids to pass directly to the filtration system
for easy cleaning. We've also installed purge valves at
the end of each row of tanks to allow periodic manual
"flushing" of tanks in order to eliminate any
buildup of organics in the tanks and plumbing. Our unique
self-cleaning drain operation eliminates the need for
tank siphoning from your maintenance protocols, which
saves valuable labor costs and optimizes water quality
for your lab animals.
ICM™
Rack Systems are available with several different tank
sizes and configurations. Refer to the table below for
available options.
Heavy-Duty
Stainless Steel Tank Racks:
Tank
support racks are manufactured with sturdy stainless steel
tubing and then epoxy fuse coated to provide the highest
degree of corrosion resistance available - even in harsh
saltwater and salt-air environments.
Heavy-duty
adjustable stainless steel leveling feet are designed
to be bolted to the floor for the highest degree of stability.
Stainless casters are available for stand alone systems
for mobility.
Plastic
shelving is standard on all units for a professional appearance
as well as to prevent excessive light from entering the
tank, which can promote algae growth.
Recirculating
System Technology:
ICM™
Rack Systems are available with integrated filtration
systems for stand alone racks or centralized filtration
systems for multiple rack configurations. All recirculating
life support systems combine our patented HTE Microbead
Biofilter™ technology with carefully selected filter
components to provide the highest water quality available.

-
Integrated or Centralized filtration packages with extremely
low maintenance requirements
