Integrated Solutions for Filtration Equipment

Precise knowledge of processes, years of experience with filter media and extensive knowhow in capital engineering – these are the key
success factors for the newest business unit at GKD – Gebr. Kufferath AG, Düren (Germany). Last year, this company expanded its range of services by establishing a new division: CAPITAL EQUIPMENT for capital equipment and engineering. Now, the business unit GKD-CompactFiltration has been added to this division. The core product of the new business unit is Maxflow, a compact, modular unit designed for process filtration.
Maxflow combines filtration without filter aids – or, if they are required, with considerably reduced quantities of filter aids – and briquetting in a single unit. Simplified disposal, because the waste
product is optimally separated and vastly reduced in volume, low maintenance requirements and modular expansion options all qualify the Maxflow concept as a next generation filter.
The main fields of application for Maxflow are particle filtration, the retrieval of recyclable materials and the purification of aqueous solutions. The system has already successfully proved its efficiency in a range of industries, metal-working, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical and foodprocessing, as well as in the environmental sector.
GKD-CompactFiltration develops tailor-made concepts in collaboration with its customers. As partners for truly integrated solutions, GKD`s filter and equipment specialists are there for their customers at all stages, and not just from design and dimensioning through to commissioning of the equipment. Even later on, when the equipment
needs to be expanded and adapted to meet changing production conditions, the team of GKD continue to provide worldwide competent service that is supported by the German sites in Tuttlingen
and Düren. In spite of its modular features, the Maxflow system is not an isolated application.
It meets all the requirements of established standards.
At the same time, it can be adapted through individual modifications to fulfill the production parameters of the customer, no matter how specific these may be, and can be flexibly expanded even after implementation.
Through comprehensive services that accompany the production process, GKD becomes an integral part of the customer`s supply chain and can thus at all stages guarantee the efficiency of its filter concepts. With six production facilities – two of them in Germany, the
others in the USA, South Africa, China and the United Kingdom – as well as agencies and partners, the GKD Group guarantees efficient deployment of the Maxflow filter system all over the world.
