Can Coolant/Lubricant
Market Application Publication

Application:

Metal Cans are prevalent in the world.
There are many manufacturing sites
worldwide, about 70 in North America.
A typical site produces approximately
4 to 8 million cans per day, supplying
the soft drink and beer market. The
basic application is the filtration of the
coolant / lubricant used in the “body
makers” for the formation of the cans.
Filtration to this point has been done
through vertical, indexing roll media
filter presses. A typical installation
has a bypass loop that is utilized
when the roll media is being indexed
or changed. These bypass filters are
typically multi-cartridge vessels and
handle approximately 500 GPM.
