Customised solutions for industrial filters
Quick opening closures are an essential component in many industrial sectors, where speed and safety are fundamental requirements for the proper functioning of installations. QOC Solutions, a Made in Italy company specialising in the design and production of customised quick opening closures, stands out for its ability to respond to the most complex technical requirements.
Recently, QOC Solutions collaborated with Plastic Energy, a leading company in advanced end-of-life plastic recycling, on an innovative project in the Netherlands. At its plant in Geleen, Plastic Energy is transforming plastic waste into high-quality raw materials, reducing the use of fossil oils and contributing to environmental sustainability. For this installation, QOC Solutions supplied quick opening closures suitable for vertical filter sectors, once again demonstrating its ability to provide tailor-made solutions for complex applications.
The customised quick opening closures improved the operational efficiency of the plant, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.
QOC Solutions’ quick opening closures for vertical filters: technical features
For Plastic Energy’s project in Geleen, QOC Solutions developed specially designed sector quick opening closures to ensure optimal operation of the filters installed in the plant. The technical characteristics of these quick opening closures are characterised by their durability and reliability even under demanding operating conditions.
The closures used in this project were designed for an operating pressure of 10 barg, with dimensions of 58″/150. The ability to maintain a tight seal, even in vertical installations, is a considerable advantage for maintenance and monitoring operations, which require speed and precision.
Another feature that makes these quick opening closures ideal for applications such as Plastic Energy’s is their ease of use: the segmented design allows for simplified opening and closing, minimising downtime during inspections or filter replacements. This solution also guarantees a high level of safety, thanks to multiple locking mechanisms that prevent accidental opening or leakage.
QOC Solutions’ choice of quick opening closures has helped to improve the efficiency of the plant, optimising the plastic recycling process and reducing the risks associated with handling vertical filters.
Customised solutions to improve efficiency and sustainability
The collaboration between QOC Solutions and Plastic Energy in Geleen is a concrete example of how innovation in quick opening closures can help achieve sustainability and operational efficiency goals. The Dutch plant, dedicated to the advanced recycling of end-of-life plastics, relies on state-of-the-art technology to transform plastic waste into high-quality raw material, thus reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In this context, the integration of tailor-made sector quick opening closures played a crucial role in ensuring maximum efficiency of the production process.
The quick opening closures supplied by QOC Solutions were designed with the specific requirements of the project in mind, such as the need to minimise maintenance time and increase personnel safety. Thanks to a fully customised solution, it was possible to optimise access to the filters, making each opening and closing operation quicker and safer. This reduced the number of technical interventions and avoided prolonged process interruptions.
The choice of customised components has not only improved productivity, but has also helped to reduce the plant’s overall environmental impact. Reduced downtime and operational risks result in a smoother and more sustainable production cycle, maximising energy efficiency and reducing wasted resources. A tangible demonstration of the value that QOC Solutions brings to projects where efficiency and sustainability must go hand in hand.
QOC Solutions: a reliable partner for complex industrial projects
The cooperation with Plastic Energy in Geleen highlights QOC Solutions’ ability to provide tailor-made solutions in complex and technologically advanced industrial settings. The company’s experience in the design of customised quick opening closures allows it to successfully tackle operational challenges that require high standards of safety and performance. Each project is managed with a consultative approach, starting with the analysis of the plant’s specific needs and ending with the development of customised quick opening closures.
In the case of the Geleen plant, the design required special attention to the filter configuration and the operating conditions the quick opening closures had to withstand. QOC Solutions developed a product that integrates seamlessly into the production process, ensuring watertightness, ease of use and personnel safety.
This level of flexibility and customisation makes QOC Solutions an ideal partner for sectors operating in extreme conditions, such as the Oil & Gas, chemical and petrochemical industries. The company is able to design quick opening closures that meet the most stringent requirements, while ensuring quick installation and maintenance times, factors that have a positive impact on productivity and lower operating costs.
With expertise and continuous innovation, QOC Solutions is a benchmark for companies that demand quality, safety and performance in every aspect of the production process.
