This company recently launched three filtration inspection packages (photo) centered around offering improved filter availability, better filter performance and longer equipment life. The packages are designed to quickly identify common wear-and-tear issues, such as problems with the plate packs, leakages and misalignments, among others. Filtration inspections have the advantage of not only discovering issues that require immediate attention, but also allow for the identification of possible upcoming larger filtration failures or upgrade opportunities. It makes it possible to proactively respond to, and put in place a service plan to address longer-term problems. This has the potential to save users significant costs in terms of lost production, says the company. — Metso Outotec Oyj, Helsinki, Finland
