Company News - August 2006

-Meet us at IMTS 2006 Convention in Chicago's McCormack Place- September 6-13 See our LIVE DEMONSTRATION….visit us at Booth D-4480

-Call us to register for our "Lunch and Learn" presentation at IMTS on Friday, September 8th --- call 810-229-7745. We will cover Magnetic Separation technologies and touch on Filtration of non-ferrous capabilities re aluminum, etc operations. SEATING IS LIMITED.

-Now even more advantages with ZGF -Our website is being updated showing exciting new products and capabilities. Check it out - watch us - more exciting case studies information coming. Here is our new "Diamond" showing our total capability to handle non-ferrous filtration or ferrous magnetic separation with our Maggie.

-The new expanded EASY CLEAN filtration product line makes it easier to match your needs with a more cost effective configuration/system. Our 100% Clean with each Backwash coil element is combined in unit configurations of one, three, and seven elements per unit: EC 100 (flows from 1-50 gpm), EC 300 (up to 150 gpm), and EC 700 (over 200 gpm) models. (ZGF's flagship the Phoenix, a six element system, handles flows 40-200 gpm) Our units are modular and can be combined to handle specific flows, loads, and micron requirements. For example, a high flow system may need 14 elements….this would mean an EC 700-2 system would be proposed. That means 2 EC 700 units would be combined.

-The newest technology/innovation is our "Maggie", an In-line, high intensity magnetic separator. There are 5 base product configurations:

Series #	Flow rate	# of Cores
MG 100	up to 12 gpm	1
MG 300	up to 35 gpm	3
MG 700	up to 75 gpm	7
MG 1200	up to 125 gpm	12
MG 2600	up to 250 gpm	26

Again, our modular design allows for combining units to handle higher requirements.
For example, a 4 station MG 1200 would be a MG 1200-4 systems with 48 cores.

*Our "Dry Mag" is a companion unit used with our "Maggie" which creates an efficient dry cake disposal without use of media. The Dry Mag saves money and is environmentally friendly.

-Trials in progress:

-Bearing manufacturer is currently using a Maggie 12-core MG 1200 and a Dry Mag combination on their honing operations. Goal is to replace existing filters that use dichotomous earth….which would improve quality and save money. -Aluminum wheel manufacturer is conducting a trial on the pneumatic Phoenix filter. The goal is to provide better overall filtration while eliminating a paper bed filter Better coolant quality will improve tool life and part quality. In addition, Phoenix will provide protection to their high quality pumps. -A tier 1 automotive supplier has a trial going with a Maggie MG 700 and Dry Mag on their honing machines. The manufacturer is currently using a magnetic drum and paper bed filter. Despite two levels of filtration, the customer is experiencing poor finish and premature glazing of the stone.
