FMC faced a critical efficiency challenge: the need for a self-cleaning filter to ensure an uninterrupted production for their herbicide processing. The existing GAF filters required replacement every 3 to 4 batches, taking 15 minutes each time. To address this issue and reduce spare parts cost, labour, and downtime, FMC turned to Nupac, a trusted supplier of processing and packaging equipment.
