Paint Filtration
Fluid : Water based paints
Flowrate : 20 imperial gpm currently (+20% additional capacity for
future expansion)
Line size : 2"
Retention rating : 230 microns
Materials : all stainless steel, UHMPE doctor, EPT seals
Problem:
A multinational manufacturer of house paints wanted to automate their filling
operation and use Clean-In-Place filters to eliminate the need for throwaway filter
bags. For many years they have been using Ronningen-Petter bags filters which were
installed during a previous expansion. During this expansion they were looking to
purchase some old style cast stainless steel strainers. A 3" unit of this type has a
basket with a surface area of approximately 150sq inches. The 1½" bag filters have a
surface area of approximately 510 sq inches each. We advised them that it would be
unwise to use smaller units.
Solution:
Based on their trust in Hall Pyke and
familiarity with the quality of
Ronningen-Petter filters they contacted
us with regard to the DCF clean in
place filter. At the time of their
previous expansion they did not have
the budget resources to purchase the
DCF clean in place filter. In a more
recent expansion they were able to
invest and expand their process which
led to the automation of their filling operation.
Result:
They purchased a DCF800 semiautomatic
unit which they will
incorporate within the filling line control
system complete with automatic flushing.
