4 Filtration principle Compact design: filtration and briquetting in a single unit As an integrated compact filter system, MAXFLOW combines efficient filtration and briquetting in a single compact unit. With no need for filter aids – or at least with far fewer if required – the patented concept provides particle separation right down to the micro-filtration range. The system’s superiority lies in the ability to design the filter media according to the process and carry out precise adjustments specific to the materials. For this the number of filter discs and heads can be adjusted by modular means...

6 Twin system with additional platform for second filter head Added value through its modular design: customised configuration The compact modularity of the MAXFLOW filter system is being continued with the round tank design. As a tank-within-atank system it needs little space to prove just how efficient it is. The standard tank with a 1,000 l capacity can be extended at any time to up to 2,500 l, depending on requirements. A dirt tank integrated into the clean tank effectively prevents deposits from accumulating thanks to the tapered design of the tank floor. Linear circulation in the clean...

8 Discharge as a briquette Cooling lubricant before and after filtration through MAXFLOW Impressive results: filtration without aids, with dry discharge The treatment of operating media and process fluids used in the automotive and metalworking industries for honing, lapping and grinding places complex demands on the filtration process. This is where MAXFLOW offers previously unknown potential for simplifying processes and optimising costs. This efficient, filter aid-free filtration system with integrated briquetting produces outstanding results – an automated system suitable for even the most...

10 Flow simulation using the WEAVEGeo software Filtration test in our own laboratory Image of MAXFLOW 503 in the SolidWorks design software MAXFLOW meets all the requirements of established standards. Through its precise, individual adaptability, this flexible-use system can be reliably utilised for even the most specific production parameters. Its modular design ensures simple integration of the compact filter system into the customer’s processes as well as long-term cost-efficiency and performance. MAXFLOW grows in response with demand and thus combines process reliability and investment security...
