Centralized Filtration System Design | Circulation System for Multiple Machines | Piping and Factory Layout Based on Actual Calculations

For factories operating dozens of machines, installing a separate centrifugal separator for every machine can be an inefficient investment, consuming valuable floor space while increasing maintenance costs and labor hours required for cleaning.

TOUTO SEPARATOR ASIA LTD. specializes in the design and installation of Centralized Filtration Systems for industrial factories in Thailand and across Southeast Asia. Our services cover processing capacity calculations, factory piping system design, and the installation of Centrifugal Separators to manage fluids from multiple machines at a single centralized location.

Concept of a Centralized Filtration and Circulation System

In a conventional setup, one centrifugal separator is often installed for each machine. However, in factories operating a large number of machines, a Centralized Filtration and Circulation System provides an alternative solution that allows contaminated fluids from multiple machines to be treated at one centralized location.

Contaminated fluid from each machine is transferred to an automatic CF Series centrifugal separator. The Coolant Recycling System then continuously returns the cleaned fluid to each machine without requiring the production line to stop.

Benefits and Productivity Improvements

Changing from an individual filtration setup to a centralized system can help reduce factory operating costs in several areas at the same time:

• Reduce Cleaning Workload by Up to 50 Times
  Compared with operating multiple manual centrifugal separators, a centralized system can reduce labor required for cleaning and waste collection by approximately 10 to 50 times.
• Save Factory Floor Space
  Selecting the appropriate centrifugal separator according to the total sludge volume helps reduce the number of machines that need to be installed and frees up valuable factory space.
• Improve the Working Environment
  Proper factory piping system design allows the centrifugal separator to be installed away from the main working area, helping reduce vibration, noise, mist, and odors. This can effectively improve HDDS conditions—Harsh, Dirty, Dangerous, and Smelly.
• Support Future Expansion
  The system can be designed to accommodate additional production machines in the future without requiring the entire filtration system to be replaced.

Scope of Engineering Services

TOUTO provides comprehensive engineering services for the design and installation of Centralized Filtration Systems:

• Processing Volume Calculation
  We calculate the required processing capacity and select the appropriate CF-60, CF-100, or CF-150 model according to the size of the system.
• Factory Layout Review
  Our team reviews the actual factory layout and production process to determine the most suitable equipment installation location.
• Piping Design & Installation
  We design and install the piping system according to proper installation requirements to ensure reliable system operation.
• System Testing
  The overall system is tested before actual operation, including a Separation Test to verify separation performance and system accuracy.

Technical Requirements and Proper Piping Design

To ensure that the Centralized Filtration System operates at full efficiency, the outlet piping must follow the requirements below:

Return on Investment and Case Study

Based on an investment analysis using a case in which multiple manual centrifugal separators were replaced with a centralized automatic CF Series system:

• Payback Through Labor Cost Reduction
  Significant reductions in cleaning and waste collection time can provide a return on investment within approximately 7–11 years based on direct labor cost savings.
• Payback When Saved Time Is Used to Increase Production
  If the time saved from cleaning activities is redirected toward production activities, the payback period can be reduced to approximately 4–6 years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the system be designed for a factory with very limited installation space?
A: Yes. Our engineering team can review the factory layout and design the equipment placement, installation, and piping system according to the customer’s actual available space.

Q: Do you inspect or repair centrifugal separators from other manufacturers?
A: Yes. We also provide inspection, repair, and maintenance services for centrifugal separators from other manufacturers. Please contact our team for an initial assessment.

Q: How is sludge handled in the automatic system?
A: The automatic model scrapes the sludge and automatically discharges it into a sludge collection box according to the preset schedule. This significantly reduces the operator’s cleaning workload without requiring the production line to stop.
