From Alar Engineering Corp.
Quad City Brick & Stone, Bettendorf, IA processes Indiana Limestone, Wisconsin Limestone, Rustic and Cocoa to produce face brick, cut stone and retaining walls. To expand capabilities and increase production, a decision was made to purchase a jaguar saw from Park Industries. The addition of the saw proposed new challenges. What technology is available to provide the required 10-gallon per minute water supply? Is it possible to remove the solids from the process water without dredging a settling tank?
During a visit to Park Industries, maintenance personnel viewed an Alar Auto-Vac® filtering solids from saw process water in Park's test bay. Problem's solved!
Quad City Brick purchased an Auto-Vac® Model 230 from Alar Engineering Corporation. Alar manufactures sixteen different Auto-Vac® sizes to accommodate volumes large or small.
A 3500-gallon in-ground dirty tank was installed to accept dirty process water from the saw, as well as hand polishing tools and wash-up water.
