Automotive filters are called “the lungs of the engine”. The function is to filter impurities which impacts the safety and service life of the car engines. Automotive filter paper is one of the main materials for producing automotive filter elements. It is also one of the key products of Hangzhou Special Paper Industry Co., Ltd, a Key Hi-Tech Enterprise in China known as NEWSTAR. As an expert on special filter paper, NEWSTAR uses Palas® MFP 3000 filter media test rig for its research and development of automotive filter paper products. Palas® MFP 3000 benefits the users from a precise and flexible measurement of fractional separation efficiency, dust holding capacity, and pressure drop in high and low aerosol concentrations.
Palas® Instrument Supports the R&D of Automotive Filter Paper
NEWSTAR is specialized in the R&D and production of special filter paper products. Especially for the R&D process, test rigs that meet specific standards are required to measure, test, and compare its developed products. During the R&D business with its strategic cooperative university, NEWSTAR learned that the partner used instruments from the renowned German aerosol expert Palas®. The precise measurement and stable performance of the Palas® device impressed NEWSTAR. Later, in an offline exhibition, the two companies got to know each other. After getting a thorough understanding of the product, NEWSTAR purchased Palas® MFP 3000 test rig.
Regarding the criteria of measuring instruments, NEWSTAR stated that they are looking for a quality test rig that provides accurate and stable measurement, meets ISO 5011 (engine pre-air filters), and is easy to operate. After comparisons with several manufacturers, NEWSATR finally decided to choose the Palas® MFP 3000 test rig. It is mainly used in the early stage of research and development of new products to meet the specific development needs of the clients.
Efficient and Dedicated Customer Support Service
Based on ISO 5011, Palas® MFP 3000 test rig automatically measures fractional efficiency, differential pressure, dust holding capacity, and gravimetrical efficiency. The test results yielded by the pre-programmed measurement procedures with defined test parameters can be compared internationally.
The overall performance is quite stable. “From the initial help to install the test rig to the subsequent after-sales service support, we are very satisfied with Palas’ excellent customer support”, say officials from NEWSTAR. On the few occasions when the problems were encountered, Palas® staff responded quickly and solved the problems in a short time. In addition, whenever there is an important update to the software, Palas® engineers will also inform customers intimately and provide guidance on the installation. The dedication and thoughtfulness of Palas® will contribute to the further success of NEWSTAR.
