TCF – Cassette Filter

Case:

Background & Challenge

A customer in the process industry needed to relocate its existing filtration system from the third floor to ground level. The existing filter unit had reached the end of its service life, and the cost of dismantling, relocating, and reinstalling the equipment was considered high compared to investing in a new solution.

At the same time, the facility required an extraction system capable of transporting process air through multiple floors while maintaining reliable performance and operational efficiency.

PF System’s Solution

PF System carried out a complete redesign and re-dimensioning of both the extraction system and the filtration equipment to provide a long-term and cost-effective solution.

The new system was designed around a centrally located filter unit installed at ground level, serving extraction points across five floors of the facility.

Due to the characteristics of the processed material, which can promote corrosion when exposed to moisture, the entire system was manufactured in acid-resistant stainless steel. This material selection ensures maximum service life and reliable operation in demanding process environments.

The installation was completed in close cooperation with a local mechanical contractor, enabling an efficient project execution and smooth commissioning process.

Results

  • A new filtration system designed to meet both current and future operational requirements.
  • Ground-level filter placement for easier access, maintenance, and service.
  • An efficient extraction system serving processes located across five floors.
  • Acid-resistant stainless steel construction providing superior corrosion resistance and extended equipment life.
  • Improved operational reliability and lower life-cycle costs compared to relocating the existing equipment.

Customer Value

By investing in a new, properly engineered filtration solution, the customer gained a future-proof system with reduced maintenance requirements, improved service accessibility, and a significantly longer operational lifespan.

The solution delivers safe and reliable performance while minimizing the risk of costly downtime, ensuring efficient operation for many years to come.
