Metals

With our extensive knowledge of steel mill machinery and hydraulic filtration systems, CFI can help keep your fluid contamination under control with innovative filtration products, support, and solutions.

Filtration Solutions to Fit Your Needs

Foundries and forges that melt metals in furnaces, then pour the molten metal into molds to make products, are by their nature dirty operations.

Hydraulic fluid contamination can wreak havoc on the delicate internal balance of a hydraulic system, resulting in costly delays and lost production. Our technicians and machinists offer years of experience in hydraulic filtration systems, and we work with you to identify the most effective filtration solution for your unique needs.

We are committed to the highest quality of service. Your steel mill machinery repairs are tested throughout the repair process and are based on operating conditions of the item being repaired.

Industry Case Study

Unique Connection Bridges Accumulation Table With Other Valves

Due to the wiring on the accumulation table’s electric connections, Rexroth directional valves were the only valves that could operate with the system. Also, the customer faced lead time ranging from 18-30 weeks to order replacement valves from Rexroth in Germany. To reduce the risk of not having spare valves available when needed, the customer resorted to ordering ten valves per order to maintain a stock of available spares.
