Your filtration process must be efficiently managed and fully optimised in the inks and coatings industry. A failure to do so could result in delays, higher production costs, and less efficiency.
Optimising the filtration process involves applying improvements. Consequently, waste is minimised, costs are reduced, and high-performance filtration is achieved.
Best Ways To Optimise Your Filtration Processes
Implement a clean change management system
A clean change system should be implemented if filters are discarded after every batch. By removing the filter and bag from the housing and resealing them, you can reuse them one more time. A high-value inks plant may produce multiple colours in small batches, and the filters can be labelled and stored for future use.
The outcome is not only less waste, but also longer-lasting filters. It also minimises operator exposure, since both the filters and the product are contained, so the operator is more protected.
For High-Performance Filtration, Use A Depth Filter
There are many dye-based inks targeted at applications where cost control is more of a priority than permanence. Pigment-based inks are often loaded with more solids when it comes to filtration. As a result, membrane filtration is costly and unnecessary.
Ink classification can be improved by switching to a high-quality depth type filter while keeping costs low. Depth filters are better equipped to continuously remove undissolved particulates, so you won’t have to worry about premature blockage.
In conjunction with the right ink range, depth filters provide:
- High Quality Filtration
- Lower Costs
- Longevity
Find Manufacturers With Experience Offering Technical Support
You should make sure that your filter manufacturer provides quality service and technical support.
It is likely you are not getting the level of support you need if your chosen partner has long response times, generic solutions, and inadequate advice. Great support leads to great results so you should work with a reputable filter manufacturer who is flexible, responsive, and reliable.
