Apollo Cleaning Solutions

Equipment and Chemical Relationship?

For years, Apollo Engineering has stood as a trusted supplier in providing cleaning equipment to the industrial filter cleaning sector. Industrial filter cleaning facilities often face the challenge of frequent and costly restarts of hot tanks and spray washers, resulting in downtime, reduced output, substantial disposal costs, and excessive water consumption for customers.

Apollo Engineering’s mission has been to demonstrate that the right combination of equipment and chemical technology can significantly reduce the need for chemical disposal, effectively increasing production while reducing water consumption.

Challenge

Challenges associated with Industrial Filter Cleaning:

• High-water consumption
• High chemical usage
• Frequent costly downtime due to tank pump out/clean out of the machines and the inefficiency of the existing cleaning process on site

Apollo endeavoured to optimise the process, creating a water-efficient and streamlined cleaning system. This system integrates Apollo Hot Tank technology and specialised chemical solutions available from Apollo Engineering.

Trial Solution

In response to the challenges, Apollo Engineering proposed a trial of our small AT800 hot tank equipped with our centrifugal filtration system and recommended Apollo EziWash chemical.

Our innovative approach aimed to:

• Reduce the frequency of tank dumping 
• Reduce chemical consumption
• Reduce water consumption 
• Enhance overall efficiency in the cleaning process

Trial Result

During the trial, our small AT800 hot tank with centrifugal filtration and EziWash demonstrated remarkable results.

Initial Trial Results:

• Significant reduction in the frequency of tank restarting, over 3 weeks without restarting for exceptional savings in disposal costs?
• Considerable increase in cleaning performance which improved efficiency on site
• Substantial reduction in water & chemical usage
  
  

Equipment and Chemical Technology Relationship

The synergy between equipment and chemical technology is crucial for optimal cleaning solutions tailored to industry requirements.

• The larger capacity platform, tripling the filter capacity per batch. This strategic upgrade resulted in a significant threefold increase in cleaning performance per hour, showcasing the effectiveness of the Apollo Hot Tank in optimising operational efficiency.

• Apollo’s EziWash chemical and advanced filtration system were instrumental in expanding platform capacity by effectively managing elevated contamination levels per batch. Notably, a larger platform alone would not have achieved comparable results.
