Ultimately, the concern is sustainability and economical processes

The test engineer can tell by the noise the filter elements make how dirty the water coming from production is. He can confirm his assessment with a glance at the control indicators. Today, the plant has to deliver top performances. The dirty water is pressed through the cartridge filter‘s stainless steel housing at almost 10 bar, then routed to the intermediate tanks. The water arriving does not look much like process water, though. Clean and clear, it is ready to be reused as process water.

Just the smart processing and the return to the production cycle saves the company thousands of euros each year. Sustainability included. The fact that machine failures have fallen significantly since the system‘s filter performance increased is a nice side effect. Discards have also decreased, and end product quality has greatly increased.

But Contec cartridge filters are not always the first and best choice. Significant factors to be taken into account are media type, viscosity, and volume flow and filter performance and installation location. This is one reason why Contec consultants consider each application case individually and why experience is so important in these cases. In addition to the many filter elements, Contec offers a wide variety of filter housings, various self-cleaning filter systems, and diaphragm filters for fresh water and seawater, for chemicals or mineral oil substances, for cooling water, and for viscous and non-viscous media, from bitumen to chocolate.

We want nothing less than the technically optimal solution for each application. We supply the necessary experience.
