Hot Rolling Mill Coolant Flush Water

Reduced failure of mechanical seals equating to savings in maintenance costs and reduced downtime.

Application

Coolant Flush Water

Challenge

Contamination in the centrifuge system was causing mechanical seal failure. The coolant flush water required a more effective filtration system than the system’s conventional filter to remove contamination down to 4 microns and below.

Solution

Install an OEI high-pressure magnetic filter scrubber inline to capture the wear contamination down to sub-micron levels.

Results

After 9 years of operation, the magnetic filters are still in place. Their value is demonstrated by the fact that since installation, none of the pumps utilising these filters have had a mechanical seal failure due to wear contamination.
