No Challenge Too Tough

When an industrial customer needed a solution for a fabricated inline filter element that was no longer manufactured, they turned to PFP for answers.

The customer’s original unit couldn’t be cleaned effectively, so they shipped it to us for evaluation. Our team of experts reverse-engineered the element and provided a cost to reproduce it from scratch. Pleased with the solution, the customer ordered one – and after seeing the quality, they quickly ordered a second!

In-Line Filter custom engineered to replace hard-to-find element.

But we didn’t stop there. We offered an even more cost-effective option: removing the welds and replacing only the filter media inside the existing protective shroud. This saved the customer money compared to buying entirely new elements. Now they have two new units, and we are rebuilding their original – extending their equipment’s life and cutting costs.
