Chinese machinery manufacturers are recognising the importance of green credentials and are emphasising energy efficiency in their sales and marketing activities.

One such company is Donghua Machinery Limited (www.donghua-ml.com) in Guangdong Province, which has chosen patented filtration technology from British company Magnom to boost the green credentials and the energy efficiency of its plastic injection moulding machines. Magnom filters have been fitted to over 1000 machines to date.

With world-wide patents in place and a customer base that now includes well-known OEMs and big names such as JCB, Rexroth, Mercury Marine the and Whayne Cat in the USA, Warwickshire-based Magnom is a company that is attracting increasing interest from investors. Its technology is recognised as the world leader in its field.

Donghua chose Magnom filters as the preferred option for its eco-friendly and energy-saving servo driven machines. Maintaining the high flow rate of hydraulic fluid and minimising energy loss depends on effective protection of components and thus filtration of contaminants. The filters in Donghua machines therefore feature Magnom’s patented magnetic filters, which remove damaging metallic particles of all sizes down to sub-micron size.

Magnom filters are chosen by engineers world wide working on projects ranging from Formula 1 power units to domestic heating boilers, wind turbines and heavy-duty coal crushers. The unique core design of the technology ensures fluid flow through its core is unrestricted while the unique powerful magnetic field created internally surrounds the free-flowing fluid, efficiently removing aggressive sub micron metallic contaminants.

Magnom chairman Robert Spender said: “We understand that Injection moulding machine OEM’s in China produce 25,000 machines per month. It’s a market with huge potential for a company like Magnom. Our patented technology delivers performance in a class of its own. It cannot be replicated, no matter how hard our rivals try.”
