Self-cleaning Filters: A Bottom Line Boosting Alternative for Fine Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries

With the hidden, ongoing costs of disposable filter media (industrial bags and cartridges) as significant as they are, the trend in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is now toward self-cleaning filtration with minimal need for labor.

(PRWEB) April 21, 2005 -- With the hidden, ongoing costs of disposable filter media (industrial bags and cartridges) as significant as they are, the trend in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is now toward self-cleaning filtration with minimal need for labor.

Variations of this, such as disc-cleaned filters (DCF), and magnetically couple filters (MCF), are helping producers of fine chemical products improve profit and worker safety while reaching waste minimization goals, as operations become more efficient.

Though an up-front capital expense, manufacturers of fine chemical-based products and their engineers are now realizing the extent that self-cleaning filters add to the bottom line. To start, a self-cleaning filter system automatically cleans itself while in use, allowing:

- Single piping arrangement

- Minimal valving

- Fewer connections, instead of complex, redundant systems.

This translates into lower total system cost and reduced waste.
