We had a very positive week

We have had a good week trying to get caught back up from the snow and then the sickness that went through the plant like wildfire. We still have a ways to go though.   Very pleased with all our advancements.  As you can see in the picture I snapped yesterday the filters look great after cleaning.   There are tons more good ideas, but no time to work on them right now.  The web site redevelopment is taking much more time and effort that I anticipated.  I think it will be worth it though.  Come visit and look at the changes  www.fpfilters.com.  We have had 1200 new visitors already.

Moldy filters

I need to show you the moldy filters sent in for cleaning.  Yes we were able to clean and sanitize them.  Pretty amazing huh?   Our new Tri- Ox machine did the trick. took out the mold, and mold stains.

I think we have just changed everything.

The Tri-Ox machine was started up yesterday.  This is a game changer.  We are now able to kill foreign cells down to the molecular level.  The DNA is actually exploded at the nucleus.  This was verified under a microscope, and a 99.9999% kill was verified.
What does this mean to filter cleaning?
We can clean a filter for the food industry and produce a product that is completely free of mold, fungus, active yeast, and blood-borne pathogens.   Not even a new filter can boast this!

FilterPro has done it again; Truly the Global leader in filter cleaning filters for industry.

What Are We?

I always have trouble when people ask me, "What do you guys do?"

I hem haw and try to answer in a way that is understandable.  I think we finally have it, after years of being in business.
"We are the global leader in sustainable filters.  We are able to process industrial plant filters so they can be re-used, and help keep the waste out of our landfills."

What do you think?
Let me know any input.

Time moves too fast-

I don't know if you have been in the same boat as us over the last couple weeks.   We have been trying to keep pushing with the new ideas, but all the work is getting in the way.   We have had a large number of testing on new filters, and have also been struggling to keep all the equipment up and running.  I am anxiously awaiting the holiday.    All the new innovation has turned into more of a hobby than a job.  Inventing new stuff is a BLAST!

Lots of Dog Treats

I guess they had a leak in the dust collector.  We are cleaning filters for a pet food company. The filters are full of dog treats.  Not pieces but, whole ones.  I have no idea how a whole dog treat gets inside a dust collector cartridge.
Not just one piece.  Lets put it this way: Roxie, and Dutchess are very happy pets.  Each filter had 25 pounds of product inside. I have enough dog treats to start a packaging line, and sell product.

It is interesting.......Pet food manufacturers have more stringent regulations and requirements than human food manufacturing.    Makes you think.

Life is changing.

As all of the older guys (me included) are retiring and getting out of the way the methods we are using to business are changing.  It used to be that it was all relationship based.  You developed a professional trust with some one, and you became their expert.   More recently with the young graduates moving into the marketplace are changing the landscape.   They want to use a computer.  they want to chat or IM.  The personal touch is leaving the business world.  It is getting tougher to build brand loyalty.  It is intresting to watch this change and to see how companies adapt..  Being old, I still want to know the person I am dealing with.
