A Filtration Leader’s Success Story: Partnering with Sodaltech for Customized Solutions

Innovation knows no bounds, especially when it comes to meeting the unique needs of our customers. At Sodaltech, we pride ourselves on engineering solutions that exceed expectations and drive success. In this case study, we delve into how we customized our Spiral Paper Tube winding machine to cater to the specific requirements of a US-based company in the filtration industry.

The Customer:

Our customer, a leading provider of filtration solutions in the US, serves diverse sectors such as oil and gas, refining, chemical, and petrochemical industries. They manufacture complete systems, vessels and a wide range of cartridges to optimize filtration processes and are pivotal in fulfilling worldwide energy needs demands.

Challenge:

The customer approached us with a complex challenge. They needed tubes made of synthetic fabric with precise specifications that our standard models couldn’t accommodate as they had only single or double winding stations. Specifically, the customer required tubes ranging from 50mm to 108mm in inner diameter, with a maximum wall thickness of 17.5mm and lengths up to 1850mm. Additionally, they needed a spiral tube winder with multiple winding stations synchronized with an online fine-cutting unit, a feature not available in our standard models.

Solution:

To meet the customer’s exacting requirements, we took on the challenge of customizing our Spiral Paper Tube winding machine. Leveraging our engineering expertise, we designed a specialized machine with four winding stations, each equipped with individual drives and a common master drive. This configuration allowed for precise winding of the synthetic fabric tubes with unparalleled accuracy.
