Once our equipment has been painted or has received the required surface treatment, the next step in our manufacturing process is assembly. In this stage, all the equipment components are assembled, whether it is a simple equipment such as a Y-type Strainer or a more complex assembly such as an Self-cleaning Filter.
Assembly of components
Each operator has the traceability sheet and the general drawings that have accompanied the equipment throughout the manufacturing process, where the elements to be assembled are indicated: filter elements, gaskets, bolting, pressure gauges, accessories, etc.
The fundamental part of all our equipment is the filter element. And this is the first element that is placed inside each equipment, whether it is a cylindrical sieve, basket, cartridge, bag, etc… whichever corresponds to the type of equipment that’s being manufactured. The filter elements are adjusted and verified that they are well inserted in their position, as well as checking that the gaskets, the equipment cover or other elements do not interfere.
Once the filter elements have been placed inside, we move on to placing the external elements: gaskets, covers, screws, accessories, pressure gauges, valves, etc.
Each of them is placed by checking its position, to ensure that it is being assembled as requested.
During the assembly of the covers and bolted joints, the tightening torque of the bolting is checked to ensure their correct assembly.
Identification of the equipment
Once the equipment is assembled, it is time to give it the final details. These consist of the identification that each equipment carries, which in our case there are two:
The first is the technical identification, corresponding to the nameplate where all the design specifications that must be taken into account during the use of the equipment are detailed: design pressure, design temperature, fluid it is suitable for, tests carried out, as well as manufacturer data. And the most important data that allows us to have the traceability of our equipment in the future: the serial number.
The serial number is a unique number for each equipment that is manufactured. With this number we know when the equipment was manufactured, its characteristics and, most importantly, provide spare parts in the future. That is why on our webpage we have the Warranty Registration, a section where we request to register the equipment purchased in order to have the traceability of the same and to be able to supply the necessary spare parts to extend the useful life of our equipment in an efficient and long-lasting way.
Below we leave you the link where you can register your equipment: https://prescad.com/en/spare-parts-guarantee/
The second identification is of a commercial nature, since each filter that we manufacture is identified with its product range and model, making each type of equipment visible and identifiable in an easy way.
Quality control
With the equipment already assembled and identified, the last final quality control is carried out, where it is verified that the equipment has been assembled and identified correctly and complies with the specifications of the order.
And once everything is verified, the equipment is ready for the last phase: packaging.
