A manufacturer of resin-based compounds uses a unique filter to keep maintenance costs low and production numbers high.
Magnum Venus Products (MVP) is a Florida-based company that manufactures resin-based compounds such as syntactic foam core bonding putty, ceramic shield, syntactic foam core resin and DCPD/isophthalic polyester resin, among others. The company’s products are used in the marine industry and by other fiberglass product manufacturers to enhance the cosmetic appearance, rigidity, and speed of fiberglass reinforced plastic products, bond fiberglass parts, and fill strakes and tight radii.
When MVP decided to produce its resin-based line in 1998, it faced the challenge of finding an effective method of filtering the finished products from a high-viscosity mix. Since many of the company’s customers used spray guns in the application process, it was critical that the products be consistent in texture and particle size.
