Clogged Filters Causing False Gauge Readings
Industry Served: Paint & Coating
Problem:
A painting operation for a skid manufacturer in North Carolina uses a large quantity of bag filters throughout the paint line to filter rinse water and various coatings and paints. Paints and coatings were clogging the gauges causing the gauges on the bag filters to give false readings. The incorrect gauge readings led to poor filtration, due to infrequent bag changes, and manufactured parts were getting rejected in QC.
Solution:
50 Blacoh SENTINEL gauge guards were installed on the bag filters to isolate and protect the gauges from the process fluids. With gauges now giving accurate readings, bags are changed out properly to insure proper filtration and QC is no longer rejecting manufactured parts.
Result:
