Optimized Results for small Batches

For demanding tasks in the food-processing industry, the Maxflow filter concept sets new standards both in product filtration and in the treatment of process, rinse and waste water.

Whether in the filtration of liquid sugar or in the purification of process water in the drinks industry, the compact nature of the Maxflow unit offers decisive added value. In addition to its small footprint, the concept is convincing through its flexibility when used for smaller batches of different charges. In contrast to large-scale equipment, Maxflow can be optimally adjusted to smaller batches. The reduction in the use of filter aids means the Maxflow processes are more cost-effective while maintaining the same filtration performance. The unit's capacity, efficiency, hygiene, low maintenance requirements and optimal handling are constantly opening up new application potentials.

Filter-Aid-Free Filtration and dry Discharge

Production and process liquids generated in the automotive, machine tool and metalworking industries present complex challenges for filtration processes. Maxflow guarantees efficient, filter-aid-free filtration of working fluids like cooling lubricants, emulsions and oils used in lapping, grinding or honing. Considerably reduced expenditure on disposal due to the lower volume and weight of the non-drip briquets and retrieval of working materials and process media all mean high cost-efficiency. Even with the process effluent generated in surface technology during washing and rinsing of treated tools or during paint stripping processes, Maxflow achieves outstanding performance without the use of filter aids.

The system is fully automatic, easy to handle and provides the greatest possible flexibility combined with an optimized cost situation. Thanks to its compact construction in comparison to conventional filtration equipment, the Maxflow unit can also be easily moved from one location to the other.

Reduction of hazardous Waste

A highly successful outcome for the Maxflow filter concept in the chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries are the recovery of products and catalysts and the treatment of process or waste water. Thanks to filter-aid-free filtration with Maxflow, mixing of catalysts with precoat aids is avoided. Both the expensive replacement of catalysts and the expenditure on the disposal of contaminated waste can thus be reduced.

Treatment of process and waste water calls for high-performance filter systems and competent disposal of residues. Thanks to its unvarying filter performance, automatic backwashing and integrated sludge compression to non-drip briquets, Maxflow guarantees consistently high efficiency and operational reliability. Substantial cost benefits at optimal cost-efficiency are the reasons for the outstanding success of this compact filter unit in the treatment of effluents.

Process Water Recovery

Efficient filtration systems are key technologies for the appropriate treatment of ground water or landfill leachate to protect health and the environment. The cleaning or sanitation of gas, water and oil pipelines or other transport pipes generates large quantities of environmentally offensive waste water. A substantially more costeffective alternative to transporting such contaminated water away is to treat it on-site by filtering out the particulate matter and then to recycle it as process water. Compression of sludge into dry briquets means that the volumes of special waste and the costs of transportation are reduced to a fraction of their former scale.
