A wide range of depth and membrane filters, manufactured in various polymers ensures we can provide the optimum filtration train whether for cleaning up of raw starter materials or fine classification of inks.
Tired of throwing away filters after each batch?
If you are processing a large number of coloured inks but have relatively small batches you may changing your filters before they are fully exhausted. Using our clean change system allow the filter and bag system to be removed from the housing and capped off for use on a further batch. There is also the added benefit of eliminating operator exposure an improving the health and safety of your employees.


Difficulty in classifying your ink?
Classifying an ink would be easy if we could just use a membrane. However the high solids loading means this is just not viable in practice. The use of depth filtration is required to enable the processing of the necessary volumes in production. Our proprietary technology in the production of melt blown filters means that we can create distinct zones in the filter matrix combining great capacity with excellent micron cut offs ensuring repeatable results when classifying.
Filters blocking too quickly?
Every manufacturer of inks and coating is frequently frustrated by not being able to process complete batches due to filter blockage. Sometimes this may be due to large variation in raw material filterability that needs to be addressed. On other occasions it maybe that the filter is on the limit of its performance if processing high viscosity fluids that are partially collapsing the filter matrix at elevated differential pressure. We can provide assistance in identifying the problem areas and have a wide portfolio of products to use in solving most issues.

CASE STUDY
Improving Process Economics & Operator Safety In Coatings Manufacture
Improving Process Economics & Operator Safety In Coatings Manufacture
At Amazon Filters we work with a wide variety of coatings manufacturers helping to improve process economics. We recently helped a leading manufacturer of fluoropolymer coatings to implement new filtration technology into their production facility. The complex low friction fluoropolymer formulations their chemists develop require filtering during the production stage to guarantee the necessary quality in terms of aesthetics and final product performance.
As part of a continuous improvement program the customer was investigating ways to:
1. Improve operator health and safety
2. Minimise the use of solvents in production to minimise environmental impact
3. Reduce overall production costs
The introduction of the SupaClean filtration system has provided tangible benefits in all three of these focus areas and more.
CASE STUDY
Contamination Control in Ethane Vapour Stream
Contamination Control in Ethane Vapour Stream
About the Project
The polymer manufacturer had instigated a project to increase the Ethane Vapourisation Capacity and recognised the need to remove traces of rust and hard deposits from the ethane vapour stream once it had passed through the new heat exchanger. Controlling these contaminants is vital to ensure optimum performance of the polypropylene production operation. The filter was to be installed as a Propylene Refrigerant Sub Cooler Guard Filter and located downstream of the new Ethylene Refrigeration Desuperheater.
Amazon Filters reviewed the critical process requirements e.g. flow rate, level of filtration required etc and selected a system involving a special 89 Series housing and a DuoMesh stainless steel basket.
Project Challenges
The new filtration system was required to fit into the existing process system therefore Amazon Filters were given specific dimensions and orientation for the process connections. It was vital that the 89 Series housing was fabricated to these dimensions. Consequently the housing was constructed using 8 inch equal tees instead of the conventional schedule pipes.
An additional complication was the filter was to be used in an area that experiences extreme weather conditions i.e. working temperature down to minus 100°C. Therefore Amazon Filters were tasked with providing the housing fully insulated. This was particularly challenging as the filter housing will need to be opened during routine maintenance periods necessitating the removal of the insulation from around the top closure and process connection. To ensure this was as easy and practical as possible Amazon designed the vessels to have multiple insulation sections, with fixed insulation on the vertical section of the housing and removable insulation section on the top closure and process connections.
