De Soutter Medical’s Turnkey Water-Treatment Installation
Company Overview
Established in 1990, De Soutter Medical is a leading European manufacturer of high-performance powered tools used across various demanding sectors, including precision engineering and advanced manufacturing. With a focus on quality, innovation, and long-term value, they offer a broad product range backed by continuous R&D and dedicated customer service.
The Challenge
To meet their operational requirements, De Soutter Medical needed a robust water treatment solution capable of providing:
- A compact supply of high-purity water for their surgical endoscope washers.
- Consistent water quality to prevent scaling and mineral build-up.
- Reliable operation to support consistent process outcomes and product quality.
- Leak detection capabilities for enhanced operational safety and peace of mind.
Our Solution
Lubron installed two comprehensive water treatment systems for De Soutter Medical that are used in the production of their surgical power tools and R&D validation purposes. The core of the solution featured two of our Osmotherm Micro Reverse Osmosis (RO) units, delivering:
- 180 L/h of RO water production.
- Healthcare-grade water purity, essential for their applications.
- High-grade Grundfos pumps and 316 stainless steel components for long-term reliability and sustainability.
- Duplex water softeners to pre-treat feed water.
- Optional leak detection communicating directly with the control panel.
“The Osmotherm Micro is a well-engineered and compact unit; it gets the work done efficiently and fits a lot into a small area.”
