Pumper Show 2012

Here at Dynamic Filtration, we’re not just content to call a filter a filter and move forward with a quality, if unchanging, inventory. We know that filters change, but more so, applications change, and it’s important to us and our customers that we keep up-to-date on those changes to maintain the best possible offering. Trade shows are one of the best ways to stay on the cutting edge of who is using filters, and what they’re using them for, and the 2012 Pumper & Cleaner Environmental Expo  (you might know it better as the Pumper Show) suits that need for one of our core industries: vacuum trucks.

Occurring in Indianapolis this week, the Pumper Show will feature a host of fascinating filtration and vacuum truck topics: vacuum trucks used with drilling in the Marcellus Shale Region, and positive displacement blower vacuum equipment, to name a few. There will also be discussion of filter concerns in other wastewater applications beyond vacuum trucks, for instance, effluent filters used to protect drain fields. And, as any good business seminar should include, lots of talk of how to promote and market your services. We’re most looking forward to information on positive displacement blower-equipped trucks, and any other types of new or unconventional vacuum trucks – developments that will play a part in our inventory planning for the next year and beyond. As always, contact us with any questions on all types of filtration!

How Vacuum Trucks Keep the World Clean and Safe

Vacuum trucks play a big role in a number of different industries and Dynamic Filtration plays an even bigger role in making these trucks work properly. Much like your household vacuum, these trucks pick up dust, dirt and liquids, only on a much larger scale.  Both use the same basic filtration systems to get the job done. So why would you need a vacuum truck in the first place?

Safety and Protection

While construction crews rely on backhoes and other heavy-duty equipment to handle most of their digging, there are times when a much lighter touch is needed. When digging around electrical and gas connections, they will use a vacuum excavator truck to carefully remove and loosen dirt and soil. This not only protects the pipes and cables, but also the workers themselves. 

Unclogging the Drain

Working with sewers is always tricky. Before you actually get to the job of cleaning out the sewer itself, you need to get to it. Vacuum trucks are helpful in removing all the debris that clogs the above-ground drains. Once this is accomplished, the vacuum truck will have access to the sewer so it can remove what it needs to remove. Pretty sure there is no need to say more than that!

Emergencies

While vacuum trucks play a role in everyday life, they also play a pivotal role in emergencies like sudden oil spills and unexpected flooding. If there is an accident in a large oil field, you need to be able to quickly access the area to limit both financial and environmental losses. A powerful but mobile vacuum truck is a great way to contain damage and loss, while all necessary repairs are being made.  This is also the case with flooding from rain or snowmelt. These trucks can be used to keep major highways and streets passable for traffic and emergency vehicles.

Overall, vacuum trucks are clearly an invaluable tool. Of course, these trucks wouldn’t be able to do their jobs without the proper filtration systems. You wouldn’t run your household vacuum without a bag or a filter, and the same goes for these trucks. At Dynamic Filtration we supply a wide variety of these trucks with the filters necessary to function perfectly every time they are called upon.

One More Option: All About Stainless Steel Filter Cartridges

Not all filter cartridges are created equal. Most filtration applications are very well served by paper or synthetic plastic filter cartridges, which are fantastic for a wide range of general services including food, beverage and pharmaceuticals. Yet there are still those times when you need a cartridge that offers great levels of retention and can withstand higher temperatures and pressures. It’s for these more demanding projects that stainless steel filter cartridges are worth a look.

Stainless steel filter cartridges are typically made entirely of 304 or 316 stainless steel, and are completely cleanable and reusable. These two important traits allow our customers in the medical industry to not only maintain a higher level of sterility but to also save money on having to replace paper and plastic cartridges more often.

Stainless steel filter cartridges fit most cartridge-type housings, can withstand differential pressures up to 60 psi, and have a particle retention rating as fine as 5 microns. Plus, unlike other filtration media, seals are never glued onto the cartridge ends. Instead, they are custom shaped so they hold in place just like a grommet. This added measure reduces the chances that they will become dislodged and get lost in shipping. Here at Dynamic Filtration, our main business remains paper and synthetic filters, but we’re also committed to offering a wide range of knowledge to our customers. Keeping you informed of your options helps us to serve you better. Contact us with any questions.
