As soon as many manufacturing companies start to face tough times like our current economy does, the first thing that generally gets cut back on is the machine maintenance budgets.

As a former machine operator and maintenance manager, this is a major mistake in budget planning and actually will cost you more, not really less in terms down time and profits / losses in production.

Lack of proper or even low quality filters can shorten living of the machine considerably and when a new machine goes down or your tooling wears out prematurely due to poor filtration, you are losing money in a hurry.

We all would like to save back as much as we can over these tough economic times, but many seed managers can not see that by trying to save a few dollars channel bending machine on items like proper filtration products will cost you thousands when that machine breaks down as a result of impurities getting into critical parts.

Many of us in the manufacturing segment of the workforce have to be able to do the job better and even more precisely, with less waste than ever before. People do not think about something as simple as a common filter can have this effect on your bottom line.

Would you install a cheap oil filter on your new car? Of course not, so why do companies buy inferior filtration systems for machines costing a million dollars? It does not create good economic sense at all.

Almost anything we use in our society makes use of filters in the manufacturing process. In the water we drink to the plastic materials and steel components used in the everyday items, a filter was used in the process somewhere along the line.
