NITIAL SITUATION After the discontinuation of the existing solution of the former supplier, our customer was forced to make a change in the current series at short notice, which affected almost all products. A cost-effective filter system had to be found as quickly as possible, which not only had the necessary features, but was also backwards compatible, depending on the user‘s requirements, and could therefore be integrated quickly and easily into all machines. ARGO-HYTOS took advantage of its broad product range and created the ideal solution based on existing components: Backwards-compatible complete filters for original equipment were developed in a very short time and filter elements that fit into the existing solution were produced for spare parts supply. In this way, the current production could be quickly changed over. In addition, installation space was saved, since the ARGO-HYTOS products could be built smaller due to their higher power density. Various product protection solutions to safeguard the spare parts business are also already under discussion for the near future.
SOLUTION ARGO-HYTOS has - based on existing assemblies - developed several customer- specific pressure filters within a very short time to meet all customer requirements:
fatigue-resistant up to 63 bar
3 different filter sizes up to approx. 135 l/min
optionally, various clogging indicators can be mounted
with high-performance filter elements in the finenesses 10 µm and 16 µm (ßx µm(c) = 200)
CUSTOMER BENEFIT
100% backwards compatible: connection and mounting geometry have been taken over from the previous solution
Shortest changeover time
Avoidance of tool/one-time costs by using existing and proven assemblies
Supply of ReFit replacement elements for previous solution
Optimum adaptation to machine data by choosing from three different filter sizes
Maximum availability or reduced downtimes of the working machines through reliable high-performance filtration
Modern filter system with best performance data
