Stringent standards with regard to surface quality, shape accuracy and tolerances are the challenges faced by metal grinding companies today. The requirements on grinding technologies and the efficiency of metalworking lubricants are equally as high. Efficient lubricant filtration is a decisive factor governing both service life and finishing quality. The metalwork industry and its suppliers met up at the International Trade Show for Grinding Technology, GrindTec 2010, in Augsburg, a forum for exchanging new ideas and making new contacts. Over a period of five days, more than 400 businesses from 23 countries presented new machines, technologies and processes. GKD-CompactFiltration, a system provider for filtration technology and systems engineering, was also represented at the show for a second time with its patented MAXFLOW concept.
Wide range of solutions for typical process requirements
Whether as an individual or stand-alone solution or a bypass filter unit: MAXFLOW’s custom-designed, tailor-made application attracted the visitors’ attention at the GrindTec. Particular attention was paid to the plug-and-play version, a stand-alone solution that can fast and effectively fulfil a wide range of typical process demands of oil or emulsion-based grinding. With process-specific dimensioning and an extendible tank system, this compact system is a sustainable solution for a wide variety of applications. Convenient operation and efficient maintenance make MAXFLOW the preferred system among users.
Promising discussions
Many visitors to the stand in Augsburg were so impressed by the system’s efficiency exhibited in numerous demanding applications that they engaged in lively talks. The efficiency of MAXFLOW in the filtration of aluminium filings as well as in steel and brass work was at the centre of visitor interest. “The MAXFLOW system has landed on the market”, Sascha Schönecken, Sales Manager at GKD-CompactFiltration is pleased. Customer talks were both engaging and very promising. Intelligent solutions like MAXFLOW, that can optimise central processes in the metalwork industry with efficiency and modularity, are particularly in demand in difficult economic times. “The market is witnessing more activity”, says Sascha Schönecken. With incoming orders growing in the grinding technology sector, the investment mood is also lifting. First-class filtration results and modular system components make MAXFLOW the solution to choose.
