Process optimization: Automatic for sure. For the production of paints, our customer relies on FG automatic filters. In the chemical industry, they filter low- to high-viscosity products particularly efficiently and reliably – in 24-hour continuous operation. The compact automatic filters from FG Industrial can be aligned particularly variably to the strict requirements in production. Compliance with the various ATEX zones, must be taken into account in the selection of machines and their components.

After a comprehensive requirements analysis and a one-year test run, the customer decided on the recommendation of Filtration Group staff to install an AF 133 automatic filter with filter coil and segment cleaning system with external pressure. This made it possible to replace the previous bag filter system, which could only be maintained with a great deal of work and expense. Thanks to the modular design of the automatic filter, it was possible to develop a custom-fit solution for the customer. In addition, the requirements of the various ATEX zones could be met without any problems, so that nothing stood in the way of its use. For the future, it is planned to use 8 more automatic filters in the customer’s plant.
