| As industrial application become more demanding | | | | solid particles suspended in liquids through the use |

| knowledgeable engineers to analyze and solve | | | | filters and SELF CLEANING filters, able to meet all |

| right to look up to suppliers of these products for | | | | machines water filters, preliminary washing fruits |

| Filtration and separation equipment is used mainly | | | | water filters and more. Not all solid/liquid separator |
| in the following areas: from textile to pulp and | | | | systems are alike: carbon and sand filters require |
| paper industry, from chemical to food processing, | | | | regular maintenance that can result in downtime |
