Customer background:
A medium-sized industrial manufacturing enterprise relies on a central coolant circulation system for its core production equipment. The system has long been plagued by wear on the pipes and solid particles from external intrusion.
Customer pain points:
- Unplanned downtime is frequent: When the original single-tank filter becomes clogged, the entire production line must be shut down for disassembly and cleaning. This results in several production interruptions each month, significantly impacting the delivery cycle.
- High maintenance costs: The loss of production capacity during downtime, the labor costs for emergency maintenance, and the expenses for filter cartridge replacements all add up to a considerable expense.
- Insufficient equipment protection: Particulate matter often passes through the filter, causing accelerated wear of downstream precision nozzles, pumps and valves, and increasing the equipment failure rate and maintenance frequency.
Solution:
In response to the core demands of the customers, namely “cannot be stopped”, “high cost” and “reliable”, we have recommended the standard dual-basket filter. Its core configuration is:
Structural form: Dual-chamber type (one in use and one as backup, with a switching valve)
Main material: 316 stainless steel
Filter accuracy: 2mm stainless steel mesh basket
Implementation effect:
- Achieving maintenance without downtime: When the filter basket on one side needs to be cleaned due to impurities, the operator only needs to operate the switching valve, and the process immediately switches to the clean filter basket on the other side. The entire process takes only one minute, and the production process does not need to be interrupted at all.
- Overall cost has significantly decreased: The unplanned downtime caused by filter maintenance has been eliminated, ensuring production capacity. At the same time, the reusable 2mm sturdy mesh basket has replaced the consumable filter element, resulting in a substantial reduction in long-term usage costs.
- Reliable protection for critical equipment: The 2mm accuracy effectively intercepts all large particles that could cause physical damage to downstream equipment. The 316 material ensures long-term corrosion resistance in the coolant environment. The equipment has been running for over a year, and the structure remains intact without any rust or leakage.
- Ensure convenience and safety: It is possible to isolate any filter unit online. During the system’s pressurized operation, it enables safe and orderly cleaning, eliminating the safety risks encountered during emergency repairs in the past.
Customer review:
“This 316 stainless steel double-bowl filter has solved our most troublesome problem in continuous production. The double-bowl design is its greatest value, allowing us to complete maintenance without stopping production. The 2mm mesh bowl is just right to block harmful impurities to our equipment and is not prone to rapid clogging, making it very practical. It has a sturdy structure and requires almost no additional concern, and it is a reliable tool on our production line.”
