Happy National Manufacturing Day 2015

Barnes International, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois celebrates National Manufacturing Day by building the highest quality filtration systems for our customers.

Barnes New Plant Addition Scheduled

Inspecting the area where a 5,800 square foot warehouse addition to our main plant will be located.  A planned increase in orders for large Kleenall filtration systems starting later this year makes this expansion necessary. Completion is scheduled for October, 2015.

The addition will consist of six separate bays, each with its own overhead door and truck loading capability.  Overhead cranes will service the entire area.  When necessary, spaces can double as assembly areas in addition to storage of completed systems.

Building and storing completed filtration systems allows us to provide "on time" delivery for our customers.

Barnes - still leading the way after over 108 years of service to the industry.  Please visit our website www.barnesintl.com or give us a call at 815-964-8661 for more information on our products.

Barnes International Series 30H Filter

Barnes Series 30H Kleenall Chip Filter getting final inspection before shipment to a large OEM customer for installation on a drilling machine.

The permanent media filter system will provide 40 micron filtration at the rate of 20 gallons per minute of water soluble coolant.  Removal of aluminum chips and fines produced by the drilling operation greatly extends tooling life and virtually eliminates downtime for tank and machine cleaning.

Barnes Product Improvement

Inspecting the new Barnes electric fabric rewinder that replaces the traditional air motor rewinder.

This major innovation gives better performance and does not use expensive compressed air.

The new rewinder consists of an electric motor driven by a special torque mode variable frequency drive.  The old air motor drive had only two torque settings while the new rewinder automatically and continuously changes speed in order to maintain constant torque on the spent fabric while indexing.

This new development is a good example of the goal of Barnes International to continue product improvement.

Barnes International ATF System

Barnes International manufactures  oil processing systems that are used to condition a continuous supply of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to transmission test stands, or for hot oil supply to engine fill stands.  ATF is pumped through bag filters to remove contaminants, then through a dehydrator to remove moisture.  Water content and temperature of fluid are carefully controlled to insure design specifications are not exceeded.

Final check off of electrical system on ATF oil processing system before shipment.  Sophisticated controls monitor all phases of the system including water content of ATF, oil temperature and discharge pressure to process.  The system is completely set up, piped, wired and tested at Barnes to insure minimal installation and start-up time in the users plant.

This high-tech system is a good example of our forward thinking engineering staff.

Barnes International Announces New Product - Kleenall MPE-150

In response to numerous customer requests for higher flow rates in the proven MPE Kleenall design, Barnes International, Inc. is pleased to announce the new MPE-150 combination magnetic and fabric filter system.  Using the tried and true concept of the smaller MPE Series, the filter size has been expanded to accommodate flow rates of up to 150 GPM of water based coolants.  The same flow rate deration will apply for oil coolants.

Barnes engineers were able to enlarge the filter area by increasing the size of the seal wheel, while at the same time keeping the standard 50" fabric width, the same as the MPE-25 and MPE-100 models.

Detailed information will be available soon.  In the meantime, keep watching our website at www.barnesintl.com for announcements, or call 1-800-435-4877 to speak with a salesperson.

The MPE-150 is available now.  Standard delivery schedules apply.
