Filter reclamation, at first glance, seems like an almost too-good-to-be-true service. It cuts down turnaround times enormously for our customers, providing like-new filters in a fraction of the time that it would take to order and deliver them from the factory. Reclamation and recovery also benefit the environment greatly, and not just from a simple reduction in overall filter use. An important step, following the cleaning process, is the proper disposal of oil, dust, or other material. Often, filters are just disposed of without proper contaminant removal, leading to extremely environmentally-unfriendly waste material.
Because so many of our filters are used for applications like oil, it’s important that our recovery process properly accounts for transport and disposal.
- Step one: Ensure that our customer has the proper packaging, including labels for shipping hazardous material.
- Step two: Separate the filter from the housing.
- Step three: Put the filter through multiple scrubbing and cleaning cycles.
- Step four: Visually and mechanically test that the filter is fully cleaned.
- Step five: Ship to the customer, again with proper packaging and shipping methods.
The benefits of filter reclamation make this involved process more than worth it to carry out. For more details, get in touch with Dynamic Filtration today.
