Case Study: a Canadian-based bread manufacturer improves worker safety and filtration with Eaton DCF filters

Bagel Maker Switches To Eaton DCF Filters To Improve Safety

A Canadian based bread manufacturer needed to improve operator safety at its Alberta plant, where employees faced potential hazards from manually changing hot filter bags on a bagel boiler water line. Seeking a safer alternative to its duplex bag filter system, the company turned to vendor Eaton for a solution.

Eaton provided its mechanically cleaned DCF-800 filter, which uses an automatic scraping and purging process to clean debris without stopping production. This solution from Eaton eliminated the safety risk of manual bag changes and also maintained the required high water temperature for quality. The results included a safer work environment and additional financial and environmental gains from eliminating filter media and reducing labor. The success led the company to install the same Eaton filters at another facility.
