Met-Pro Receives Equipment Order Totaling $585,000 in Combined Effort Between Four Divisions

    HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., July 9 William L. Kacin, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation , announced today
that the Company has received a significant order as a direct result of the
synergistic relationship between four of the Company's divisions.  The order,
which was received from a major U.S. supplier of parts to the automotive
industry, includes twelve (12) Mefiag horizontal disc filter systems, thirteen
(13) Sethco cartridge filter systems and five (5) Duall scrubber systems.  The
Mefiag filter systems will also incorporate twelve (12) Series 1500 fiberglass
reinforced pumps from Met-Pro's Fybroc Division.  The total value of this
order is $585,000 and it is expected to be installed by October 2001.
    All equipment included in this order is for use on automatic plating lines
where plastic automotive parts will be plated with copper, nickel and chrome.
The combination of Mefiag disc filters and Sethco cartridge filters will be
used for filtering the plating solutions.  Almost 132,000 gallons per hour
will be filtered by these systems.
    The five Duall scrubber systems will handle mists from the same plating
solutions plus hydrochloric acid and nitric acid vapors and mists.  These
systems, which have a total capacity of more than 200,000 CFM, are all PVC
construction for maximum corrosion resistance and utilize the classic push-
pull ventilation configuration which will save the customer more than 50% on
exhaust air and floor space.
    "One of the Company's stated goals is to capitalize on the synergies
between our divisions," said Kacin.  "Our common contacts, business
relationships and market presence combined with a cooperative sales effort
were major factors in securing this order.  We continue to pursue other
similar opportunities."
