NedZink boosts coating quality and cuts downtime by 15% with the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter®

Advanced filtration solution supports longer production runs and eliminates contamination in protective coating processes NedZink, one of the world’s leading producers of rolled titanium zinc for roofing, gutters, façade cladding, and rainwater systems, has significantly improved its protective coating operations by integrating the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® from Russell Finex.

The investment has enabled cleaner coatings, reduced quality failures, and extended continuous production time to up to 50 hours. As part of its specialized surface treatment process, NedZink applies a colored protective coating that prevents discoloration and marking on zinc products.

Maintaining purity in the coating solution is critical—any contamination, even tiny particles, can transfer to the sheet surface and compromise final product quality. Previously, NedZink relied on a basic filtration method, but mesh sizes of 1–2 mm allowed fine particles to pass through. The filter also suffered from frequent blockages, forcing the production line to shut down every 8 to 10 hours for cleaning. Filtering contamination with the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® After a successful machine trial, NedZink selected the Self-Cleaning Russell Eco Filter® for its ability to remove fine contaminants without the clogging issues associated with traditional mesh filters.

Since installation, the manufacturer has experienced up to 15% less downtime, thanks to continuous filtration that prevents buildup and ensures consistent coating quality. The new system has transformed operational efficiency. With no mesh blockages and improved contaminant removal, NedZink can now run production for up to 50 hours continuously, dramatically reducing interruptions and safeguarding product finish.
