One of the main driving forces behind the success of filtration specialist, Bowman Stor, is its deeply ingrained ethos of constant improvement and evolution. As well as continually honing its SEPURA™ range of world class oil/water separators, the UK-based company fully utilises its in-house R&D capability to continually improve production processes.
Currently, for instance, Bowman is working towards increasing output on its pre-filter production line.
Processes that involve shredded polypropylene can be hampered by static and friction which prevent the material from being a free-flowing product. By introducing anti-static bars, Bowman has effectively been able to eradicate the issue, with multiple benefits.
One vital advantage is that it makes the material safer for operatives to handle – eliminating the risk of static shocks. But, in addition, enabling the product to flow more freely allows shredded material to be easily moved into different filling station hoppers, reducing manual handling and automating the pre-filter production process.
Bowman is now looking to use air blowers to help further negate the friction element and improve material flow. The air movement will have the dual advantage of moving the lightweight product whilst simultaneously blowing the ions generated by the anti static bars towards the filling station.
Managing Director Richard Potts explains that it has been a long-term project: “We have been working on this development for several years now and we are at the final stages of producing our bespoke shred multi-filling station system.
We are always looking to make our processes more efficient and, in turn, provide a better product and service to our customers”.
