        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.
