Case Study: Precoat Filtration Performance For Honing Oil
Product Installed: Pressure Precoat Filter DFP-5A
Industry: Automotive
Process Type: Honing – Cylinder Bore Machine
Client
Our client is a widely-known multinational automotive manufacturing corporation and is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers by production based in India.
The Challenge
Our client performs cylinder bore component honing as part of their overall manufacturing process. The filtration system installed initially was not able to filter out the fine honing dust from the oil. The filtered oil containing fine honing dust was being circulated and started damaging the honing machine, subsequently leading to inaccurate honing performance and affecting tool life.
Solution
SE Coopermatics took up the challenge to develop an effective filtration system that could separate the minutest particles from their honing oil. We supplied a dual-filter Pressure Precoat Filtration System (DFP-5A) on trial for a 3 month observation period with multiple tests conducted to measure the quality of filtered oil. The precoat system was able to perform well and deliver good results within just 2 weeks of test runs.
