Filter element replacement cut at
machinery firm
The use of Parker Filtration 'green' ParFit interchangeable filter elements is currently providing Kawasaki Precision Machinery in Plymouth with annual savings of £7000 compared to 5 years ago
The use of Parker Filtration 'green' ParFit interchangeable filter elements is currently providing Kawasaki Precision Machinery (KPM) in Plymouth with annual savings of £7000 on prices they were paying five years ago The annual savings achieved by Parker for KPM are the result of the reduced number of replacement elements used rather than reduced prices

As manufacturers of high quality hydraulic components, including the Staffa range of radial piston motors, KMP fully test every pump, motor and valve manufactured or rebuilt on one of seven test rigs.
Recognising the need to control the ingress of contamination during the testing of new and rebuilt pumps.
motors and valves, KMP invited Parker Filtration engineers to conduct tests to compare Parker ParFit replacement filter elements with existing filter element performance.

Filters aim to significantly reduce waste levels
Parker Filtration has introduced a new range of 'green' filter products - the E-Series - which will significantly reduce waste levels and landfill use.
Tests were carried out using a Parker PLC 3000 Automatic Portable Laser Particle Counter and by follow-up samples submitted to independent laboratories.
These tests indicated that ParFit replacement filters offered equivalent or better contamination control and extended life.
Parker Filtration distributor, Rotec Hydraulics, provides KMP with premier customer service and hydraulic engineering support.
KMP holds stocks of ParFit replacement filter elements equivalent to one month's usage at its Plymouth manufacturing facility.
Stock equivalent of two month's usage is also held at Rotec's Plymouth Parker Store.
Parker's 'green' ParFit interchangeable elements provide designers and end-users with the opportunity to comply with future environmental regulations - and save money.
Representing a breakthrough in filter maintenance in the fluid power industry, the process involves removal of only the blocked filter media pack, which can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
No metal parts are used in the construction of the ParFit elements.
The metal housing components, which previously presented a disposal problem, are now retained and are available for immediate re-use.
The selection and proper use of filtration devices is an important tool in the battle to increase production while reducing manufacturing costs.
The experience of designers and users of hydraulic and lube oil systems has verified the following fact: over 75% of all system failures are a direct result of contamination! The cost directly attributable to contamination is staggering, resulting from loss of production (downtime), component replacement, frequent fluid replacement, disposal, increased overall maintenance and increased scrap rate.
