Market In Brazil
Heats Up
Working with Coordinator Adriana Soldi, Irv Kaage, President of Transor Filter recently returned from Brazil after visiting leading manufacturers of carbide cutting tools.
“We called on several current Transor users there, some with systems over 5 years old that never had any service requirements,” Kaage stated. “We also had the chance to call on current global Transor customers like Kennametal and OSG to learn more about this growing market. With several new orders received already, we believe that Brazil will become an increasing factor in the global market in the coming years.”

New Expandable, Centralized, Filtration System...Ideal For Growing Operations
Transor Filter has introduced a new, EXPANDABLE centralized filtration system that features their patented One Micron Filtration (OMF). The new modular design allows companies to expand their filter capabilities as their needs and department grow.
The base filter module consists of 12 filter vessels, a 30 kw refrigerant system and clean storage tank with multiple flush pumps. The base unit can be expanded with additional modules configured with either 6 or 12 vessels. Each grouping of three filter vessels operates independently. Transor recently shipped its largest unit to date. It consists of 36 vessels holding 6,000 gallons. This system produces clean oil at a rate of 1,000+ gallons per minute.
As with all Transor Systems, the automatic backflushing cleans the filter elements and places the debris in a container for easy disposal or reclamation. Except for the removal of the disposal bags, the process requires no operator interaction and no machine down-time.

TRANSOR FILTER And TUNGCO Reach Agreement on Recycling Carbide for Customers
Transor Filter and Tungco (Madisonville, KY) have reached an agreement to introduce Transor customers to Tungco’s tungsten reclamation services. Tungco has been in the recycling business for over 40 years and has earned a reputation for service. Ryan Sizemore, Tungco Procurement Officer, commented on building a relationship with Transor customers. “Our experience is that the Transor system yields a higher percentage or tungsten, and of course, greater return for the customer.”
Transor President Irv Kaage pointed to Tungco’s quick turn-around of material analysis and, unlike other recycling firms, Tungco’s policy is upfront payment of a percentage of the estimated return. He noted that this can add real value to Transor’s existing customer base, as well as help future users see another ROI benefit in purchasing a Transor system. “This past year has been a challenging one and has forced companies to look at what they do and how they do it,” stated Kaage. “We are pleased to have Tungco as a preferred partner because of their reputation for the efficient recycling of carbide for hundreds of customers nationally and the many benefits they can deliver for Transor users.”
