Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and uneven edges.Employ sharp, appropriate metal cutting tools such as band saws or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for aluminum. Finish edges with a deburring tool.
Inadequate preparation of the sealing surface, resulting in leaks.Thoroughly clean and ensure the sealing surfaces are flat and free from contaminants before assembly. Use appropriate sealants if specified by the filtration system design.

Common Applications
