Eaton Filtration Industrial Case Studies Downloads
Eaton Filtration’s advanced industrial filtration solutions are widely used across industries to clean, separate, and purify both raw materials and intermediate level products. Case studies show how Eaton filtration products enhance crucial processes at different stages of production, using leading Eaton filtration products such as these:
- DCF mechanically cleaned filters eliminate disposable cartridges and bags, reduce operator handling, operate at low differential pressure, and are maintenance free with almost no downtime.
- F series automatic self-cleaning filters feature a modular design for future capacity and configuration flexibility. Cleanable media reduces life cycle costs and maximizes productivity.
- MCF series magnetically coupled filter, with a unique magnetically coupled driving technology that moves the cleaning disc (with no need for shaft or drive external seals)
- 2596 self-cleaning strainers offer continuous flow, simplified maintenance, and worry-free operation.
- Duplex Model 53BTX general purpose strainers are ideal for lines that must run continuously or for batch systems that can’t be stopped because flow never needs to stop for basket cleaning.
- Model 72 simplex basket strainers offer high-quality, heavy-duty reliability for applications that can be temporarily shut down for cleaning or changeout.
- Model 85 Y strainers mechanically remove solids from liquid, gas or steam lines with a perforated or wire mesh straining element.
Eaton Filtration products improve production processes and minimize the impact to businesses' financial and energy resources in vital industrial sectors, including:
- Chemical
- Manufacturing
- Pulp & Paper
Chemical
Wherever chemical processing involves liquid ingredients, efficient and effective filtration is essential to the bottom line. Chemical applications that benefit from enhancements to filtering include catalyst recovery, emulsion and dispersion filtration, gel removal from resins, pipe scale removal, and polishing of aqueous process fluids, acids, alkalis, and solvents.
Paint and Lacquer
Eaton Filtration products are used to remove agglomerates, paint coagulates, or storage contaminants, for filling lines and paint mixing lines, for monomer purification, and to filter solvents.
Self-cleaning filters bring major process improvement
The cleaning filtration equipment at a paint manufacturer in India was labor intensive and hazardous to plant employees. Download Eaton Filters Sparkling for Global Paint Supplier to learn how a new Eaton filtration system including DCF and F Series filters improved the quality of finished paints, reduced process costs, and enabled a safer and cleaner work environment.

Propellants, Explosives
Efficient, mechanically cleaned DCF-Series filters are optimal for applications where sensitive, dangerous propellants and explosives are processed using precise machinery to ensure complete granulation and mixing.
Adhesives
Eaton filtration products improve adhesive production processes like raw material processing (including water, solvents and bulk solids) and QA during bulk loading and filling.
Rubber
Rugged filtration solutions like Eaton’s DCF filter are required to generate the tremendous shear forces necessary to mix rubber compounds such as fillers, colorants, extenders, and property-enhancing elements.
Agricultural Chemicals
Eaton Filtration products support production of agricultural chemicals including Atrazine, Fungicides, Glyphosate, Herbicides, and Insecticides.

Colors, Inks & Pigments
Eaton Filtration products support petrochemical applications by plugging strata at production sites, maintaining refinery catalyst beds, and providing final product filtration in petrochemical plants.
Resins and Polymers
Eaton batch and continuous filtration systems provide the finished product consistency and quality required by resin and polymer filtration applications like gel removal.
Automotive
Eaton filtration products are used in automotive applications including the filtration of pre-treatment bath, e-coat, topcoat, clear coat, primer, paint ring line filters, parts cleaning fluids, drawing compounds, lubricants and metalworking fluids.
Manufacturing
Eaton Filtration systems address various water and waste treatment applications as well as systems for machine tool coolant filtration and cooling tower and spray nozzle protection.
Cooling Towers
Eaton offers backwashing filtration systems for Cooling Towers, designed to constantly cascade water to scrub airborne contaminants from the atmosphere and carry them into the cooling system.
Spray Nozzle Protection
Eaton Filtration products optimize filtration of solids from water, or any industrial liquid, before they reach the spray nozzles, which are specifically engineered for four critical functions: flow control, cleaning, coverage and atomizing.
Machining Fluids
Tolerances on machined parts are becoming tighter technologies as improve and customer demands for quality increase. Eaton's high-efficiency bag filter housings and filter bags improve filtration of finer debris during processing, allowing customers to maintain fluid quality over a longer life-cycle, reducing operating costs and minimizing environmental impacts.

Metal working
Eaton's high-efficiency bag filter housings and filter bags maintain fluid quality over an extended lifecycle for filtration processes in metalworking. Filtration solutions minimize residual dirt on parts in parts cleaning machines, pre-treatment system filtration, precious metal recovery, drawing compounds and metalworking fluids.
Air, gas and steam
Eaton's Gas Liquid separators protect precious downstream equipment by effectively keeping solid and liquid particles out of compressed gas, air and steam lines.
Pulp & Paper
Eaton filtration solutions serve a variety of pulp and paper industry applications including Surface Treatment, Water and Wet end additives.
Surface Treatment
For surface treatment applications – such as Binders, Calcinated Clay, Defoamers, Dispersants, Finished Coatings, Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC), Insolubilizers, Latex, PVAc, PVA, PCC, Pre-Coater, Protein, Starch, TiO2, and Water Box – filtering helps monitor incoming raw material quality.
Wet End Additives
Any debris or oversized, undissolved solids in an additive stream can cause a range of problems including off-quality product and interrupted equipment operation. To improve paper quality and prevent costly downtime, a filter should be installed at every step of the process.
Water
Oversized suspended solids must be removed from both fresh water (intake) and "used" water (mill water or white water). Filtration systems are used in paper water processes ranging from Membrane System Protection to Vacuum Pump Seal Water to Showers.
Reusing process water with a low-maintenance filter system
One way to greatly reduce consumption of fresh water is to efficiently filter process water used in production.
