mini water purification plants

The state-of-the-art FILCORE filter is an industrial process water treatment plant designed for glass processing plants.

Very small and easy to use device for filtering process water which comes from glass processing. Modern Silkam patented filtration system with automatic drying and at the same time emptying of accumulated sediment. It also enables purification of water for internal cooling of CNC spindles where very clean water is required.

FILCORE sewage treatment plants for glass processing plants

Filcore series filtration devices ensure constant very high quality of production water in a closed circuit. They allow all types of glass processing machines to be connected. No flocculant or coagulant is used in this filtration process, while glass coolants do not deteriorate the filtration quality. The device can operate automatically in continuous mode I also on the basis of a preset time schedule. During operation, the device does not require any maintenance, but only periodic emptying of the tank with precipitated and dried waste, which is set under the device. The small size of the Filcore makes it possible to set it up directly next to the production machine without generating plant conversion costs. One Filcore system can serve from one to even several production machines (depending on the distance between them).

The use of the FILCORE filtration system allows for significant savings thanks to the closed water circulation without water replacement and associated downtime. In addition, keeping water at a consistently high quality level significantly improves machining quality and tool performance.

The most important advantages:

– very small size

– no flocculants or coagulants

– very high quality of purified water

– fully automatic operation

– minimal operating costs

– installation without construction work

Basic types of device

Device specifications

Very small size of the devices allows installation in tight production spaces

dry waste

Simple and inexpensive disposal of dried glass waste through dehydration

perfectly clean water

Water purification function for internal cooling of CNC spindles

Dirty water from glass processing and the sediment that is lost from it.

Standard tubs at the machine require frequent and labor-intensive cleaning. The muddy deposit of glass particles accumulated at the bottom of the tub is also a problem. Both the spilled water and mud must be disposed of in accordance with environmental requirements. This is usually not cheap or easy.

Process water of ideal quality for glass processing.

The use of Filcore water treatment plant, makes the water in a closed circuit does not lose its quality. Glass deposits do not collect in the tubs, and at the same time the water can be used for many months. This system guarantees a constant, yet high quality of process water in a closed circuit.

Dehydrated glass waste

The Filcore treatment plant, while providing clean water, simultaneously dries the sludge separated from it, which was formed from glass particles. In a fully automatic process, the dried waste is collected in a container set under the filtration unit. Thus, the waste of glass particles is easy for possible transport and thus disposal. At the same time, there is no longer any need to clean the tubs under the machines.

FAQ

Is the Filcore sewage treatment plant a centrifuge?

No It is an innovative candle filter adapted with equipment and operating parameters to filter water, especially in the glass industry.

In an automatic cycle, it filters the water and dries the precipitated glass sludge, which is collected in a container under the filter. It differs significantly from a centrifuge or sedimentator, while surpassing them in the quality of process water achieved.

Are large settling tanks needed for the filtration process?

No, this treatment plant does not use sedimentation silos. It must have only small tubs with accumulated water for filtration. The size of these tubs depends on the type and size of the machine to which it will be connected as well as the type of glass processing.

What is the efficiency of such a treatment plant?

Filcore devices are selected according to the water demand of the machines and the type of processing performed on a given machine. However, it should be remembered that the water in the machine’s circulating system constantly circulates in its factory tubs or in specially selected tubs supplied with the treatment plant. 100% of the water does not flow through the treatment plant. The device constantly filters the water in the tubs to ensure a consistent level of quality, which is necessary for the glass processing process.

Are flocculants or coagulants added to water purification?

NO. The filtration process does not require the addition of coagulants or flocculants. Water in the relatively small closed circuit of the machine is quickly affected by various biological factors. To prevent this, it is only recommended to use a special algaebicide.

Can coolants be used in the glass processing process without harming the treatment plant?

Definitely yes. Good-quality coolants can even improve the efficiency of the treatment plant.

Whether and how often should any filter materials be replaced in this treatment plant?

Special filter fabrics are used in the filtration process. They are the only consumable material. They should be replaced after mechanical damage or wear, which occurs on average after about 6-8 months of operation.

Does the device work automatically?

YES It is an automatic device. It also empties itself of precipitated sediments, which, after drying, accumulate in a container under the sewage treatment plant. The operator is only responsible for turning the unit on, off as well as emptying the bin. The unit also has the ability to set an operating schedule for each day of the week.
