We concluded in our last article on  Beta Factor . In this article, we will talk more about BETA Factor for buying new filters. What is the Beta Ratio? The beta ratio refers to the efficiency in which a given filter element removes the particle of a given size. The Beta Ratio is calculated using the  ISO  multi-pass test standard 16889:1999 How is it measured? The test involves adding particles of a known size to the test fluid until the fluid reaches a saturation point and then bringing the filter online to remove particles in one pass through the element. It is important to consider that the beta ratio is valid for a particular size of the particle. For Example for a 5-micron filter, how many particles are above 5-micron mark in upstream of the filter and how many are downstream is measured. And then by using the below formula, the Beta Ratio is calculated. Source:  https://www.machinerylubrication.com/ Each Beta factor corresponds to an efficiency of the filter

Have you ever thought when you raise a requirement for a particular filter let’s say a 10-micron filter you get a range of prices some being ridiculously low and some being higher than most, and all claim to give the best 10-micron filter? We get tricked at this point and without looking at differences we think that the only differentiator is the profit margin and procure the filter with the least price.  For filter check contact -  +91 7030901266. Let’s try to understand the real reason for the price difference. There are two types of filter ratings:  1.  Absolute:  Filter Rating meaning 99.9% of the particles larger than a specified micron rating will be trapped on or within the filter. 2.  Nominal:  Filter Rating indicating the approximate size particle, the majority of which will not pass through the filter. It is generally interpreted as meaning that 85% of the particles of the size equal to the nominal filter rating will be retained by the filter. So, a vendor quoti

Did you know that how we maintain our machines can be classified in various types and what is interesting to note is each technique has some benefits and some consequences. In this article, we will understand different types of   maintenance techniques   their pros and cons along with a brief guideline on how they impact a company’s cost structure with some interesting facts. Contact  Minimac  to schedule maintenance:  +91 7030901266 There are four types of maintenance strategies:  1.  Reactive Maintenance:  Maintenance is scheduled in response to operational failure. This type of maintenance is very useful for lowering initial cost, reducing manpower cost as you need fewer staff members and doesn’t require any planning. On the contrary, this strategy compels you to keep more inventory to brace for unexpected failure. This not only leads to a higher cost but also makes the project budgets unpredictable. 2.  Preventive Maintenance:  Maintenance is scheduled according to hi
