Cleaning the coolant tank that used to take a whole day is now done in just 10 minutes! Improving cleaning efficiency and reducing unpleasant odors contribute to environmental enhancement!

The automotive manufacturer Company I had three people cleaning the coolant tanks of machine tools, which took almost a whole day and had become the norm (standard operation). Therefore, we introduced 'APDQO-F'. It can be operated by one person, and the work time was remarkably improved to about 10 minutes. Additionally, for machine tools that were difficult to manage, we had been outsourcing the work, which incurred costs. However, after the introduction, we were able to perform the work in-house, resulting in cost savings. 【Solution】 ■ APDQO-FF Non-woven fabric filter type for drum cans - Replaceable non-woven fabric, disposable type ■ APDQO-FS SUS filter type for drum cans - The filter is made of stainless steel, allowing for repeated use *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

For daily maintenance! Since filtration cleaning can be done without stopping the machine tools, it allows for effective use of cleaning time.

The agricultural machinery manufacturer Y Company struggled with unstable processing accuracy and tried various filters without success. They had also purchased an expensive filtration cleaner in the past, but it remained unused. Then, they introduced the "J-FS." By operating it 24 hours a day, they were able to recover sludge that had previously been uncollectible, and the accuracy stabilized. "We received feedback saying, 'The introduction cost was low, and now it’s an indispensable product.'" 【Solution】 ■ J-FS: Recirculating tank cleaning filtration cleaner - Can be operated while the machine tools are running - Reduces cleaning time - Suitable only for cutting processes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
