Find out how we helped a paper manufacturer lower their ISO codes, double filter element life, reduce maintenance, and increase productivity by simply upgrading their filter elements.

‍

A paper machine required frequent maintenance on the Brand X filter elements installed on its lube system—the elements would reach terminal ∆P and require replacement every 8.5 days on average. This resulted in significant downtime, costing the company profits and maintenance costs.

‍

Our team took fluid samples from upstream (20/18/14) and downstream (16/13/10) of the Brand X elements before replacing them with Hy-Pro DFE Rated G8 Dualglass elements engineered for superior dirt-holding capacity and efficient contamination removal.

‍

The Hy-Pro elements reached terminal ∆P 17 days after installation, doubling the service life of the previous elements. This increased productivity and decreased maintenance hours and expenses. Upstream (19/17/14) and downstream (15/14/11) fluid samples also verified an increase in contaminant removal efficiency which will increase component and fluid life.

With their paper machine working at optimal levels, the company was able to maximize productivity and increase profits.
