Matsui America Inc. is introducing its 3Zone Preclear system for filtering process water to help processors prolong the life and effectiveness of molds as well as chillers, TCU’s and other cooling water components. Utilizing a three-zone filtering process, the Preclear features two micro-filter zones and a proprietary third-stage ionic filter which applies an ion exchange resin. Process water is sent through a 50-µm filter, and then a 25-µm filter, before entering the ionic exchange resin filter, which is designed to eliminate water-hardening minerals calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Matsui says comparative tests have shown plant water with ppm levels of just 37 ppm in systems utilizing Preclear, compared to 540 ppm four months after cleaning in an ordinary closed loop water system.

The patented Preclear system does not require any electrical power, salt or chemicals and is easily installed between the mold and the chiller. Compact, the unit measures 32.5 by 32 by 12.5 in (825 by 805 by 315 mm). It has a maximum temperature operating range of 45 C, with a maximum operating flow range of 8 gal/min (30 l/min) and max pressure of 0.5 Mpa or less.
