Eaton Provides the Missing Ingredient for Leading Mushroom Farm
Helping to Increase Productivity and Reduce Costs
TINTON FALLS, N.J. -- A prominent, family-owned mushroom farm in the United States that prides itself on performance, quality and innovation has turned to an Eaton filtration solution to help increase productivity, lower costs, decrease consumption and result in a projected savings of more than $22,000 per year.
Proper washing of produce is essential to ensuring that the healthy fruits and vegetables everyone loves to eat are clean and nourishing before hitting the grocery store shelves. According to Richard Jacobs, president of Eaton’s Filtration Division, “utilizing the right filtration system can help make this process as thorough, efficient and cost-effective as possible.”
The mushroom farm filters 60 gallons of well water per minute in order to maintain the highest standards of quality and food safety. Unfortunately, the aging filtration system was not capable of withstanding the heavy water flow rate. The mushroom farm was using approximately 700 filter bags per year and needed to solve the problem of ripped seams to decrease bag consumption.
To meet this need, Eaton recommended its DURAGAF™ high performance, needle felt filter bag. The DURAGAF filter bag does not require special support baskets and could be used with the current hardware, making it a high quality and cost-effective solution to the filtration problem.
Due to the many unique design features of the DURAGAF filter bag, it performs just as well as, if not better than, other standard polypropylene filter bags, but lasts up to five times longer. The unique features of the DURAGAF filter bag contribute to decreased consumption, reduced downtime and lower storage and disposal costs.
