Productivity and IE in Synthetic Dye and Pigment Manufacturing




Absolute.Za depth filters provide unmatched performance for the chemical process industries. Z.Plex* technology has been used to create a depth filter, which has absolute filtration (99.9% efficiency at the rated micron) and long life. This combination delivers the lowest total operating cost for the most demanding applications in the chemical process industries. A leading manufacturer of ink jet dyes trialed Absolute.Za in their manufacturing process. The company was looking for improved productivity, faster processing and lower total operating cost, while maintaining their customers’ quality requirements. The manufacturing process was a batch operation, which included over 350 different ink dye formulations. Organic solvents used were primarily ketones. Absolute filtration at 0.5 micron was required for ink quality.

Production and purchasing management viewed the performance and cost savings of switching to the Absolute.Za as an "easy decision," and initiated the required steps to implement its use.
