Know What’s in Your Water – Our Particle Analysis Provides the Basis for the Right Filtration Solution.
Particles in water can cause or accelerate wear on pumps, valves, heat exchangers and other system components. An appropriately designed filtration system helps protect sensitive components and supports reliable system operation. But what filtration rating is required? And what filter surface area is appropriate for the actual particle load? This is where our targeted water particle analysis at SCHMACHTL comes in. Rather than focusing solely on the quantity of particles present, we examine their actual characteristics, including their appearance, type and size distribution. Based on these findings, we can assess the particle load more accurately and recommend a filtration solution tailored to the specific application.

Understand Particles Better – We Analyse More Than Just Quantity.
Particles differ in more than just size. Their shape, structure and type can also play a decisive role in how they behave within a system and how they affect individual components.
As part of our water particle analysis, we therefore also examine the actual appearance and characteristics of the contaminants present. The results provide a sound basis for better understanding the existing particle load.
Design Filtration to Suit the Application – We Determine the Appropriate Filtration Rating and Filter Surface Area.
Filtration should be matched to the actual operating conditions of the system. An unsuitable filter selection can result in short service intervals, increased pressure drops or insufficient particle separation.
Based on our water particle analysis, we determine the filtration rating and filter surface area suitable for the respective application. We take the identified particle load into account and work with you to define the specific requirements of your system.
This provides you with a filtration solution based on the actual conditions within your system.
Assess Potential Effects at an Early Stage – We Help Protect Your System Components.
Not every particle affects every material or system component in the same way. Particle size, shape and characteristics can, for example, influence wear on pumps and valves or contribute to deposits in heat exchangers.
We therefore also use the data obtained from our particle analysis to assess the potential effects of the particles present on your system. In addition to a recommendation for suitable filtration, you receive valuable findings that help you better evaluate the potential impact on your system.
From Water Sample to Filtration Recommendation – We Take You Step by Step to the Right Solution.
Our water particle analysis follows a clearly defined process to turn a water sample into a technically sound recommendation for suitable filtration.
The process begins with a representative water sample. You can provide the sample yourself, or, if required, we can collect it directly on site. We then work with you to define the specific objective of the analysis and determine which characteristics of the particles present need to be examined.
Using one or more targeted filtration steps, the particles are then isolated, characterised and quantified. Among other parameters, we analyse their type, physical characteristics and size distribution.
Based on the results of our water particle analysis, we provide an assessment of how the particles present could affect your system and its components. We then develop a technically sound recommendation for an appropriate filtration solution. The filtration rating and filter surface area are selected according to the actual particle load and the specific requirements of your system.
Understand Particles, Protect Components – Creating Added Value for Reliable System Operation.
Effective filtration starts not with the filter itself, but with understanding the particles present. Our water particle analysis provides the basis for designing filtration solutions to suit the application and for protecting your system components over the long term.
At SCHMACHTL, we support you throughout the entire process – from collecting the water sample and analysing the particles to selecting a filtration solution tailored to your requirements.
