Introduction

Portable Water Filters are very common household utility item now-adays in all parts of our country. Basically its function is to filter the microsuspended particles from water supplied to our homes which contains such type of particles and makes the water sluggish and mud coloured. When water is filtered through a ceramic porous candle, the suspended particles are tapped in the candle and filtered water is collected in the bottom part of the vessel, where a tap is fitted to drain water as and when required.

The quality of potable water whether supplied from water supply agencies or through bored wells, is generally not good enough to consume. This problem is more serious in North Eastern part of our country where the main constituents which make water contaminated are oil and iron. The use of filters is the only cheapest way to solve this problem and this product is thus very essential for each house.

Market Potential

The market potential is fairly good as most of the filters available in the market are marketed by Kolkata or Delhi based manufacturers. The market is rapidly expanding to sub-urban areas and villages too, where till date the only source of portable water is wells. But now with the modern living standards, water supply system is incorporated in buildings and to improve the quality, filters are essential.

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture

Stainless steel portable water filter is a unit which consists of two vessel made of steel. The top vessel is used to store raw water. It has one/two ceramic candles at the bottom which allow water to flow across it and traps suspended particles. The filtered water is accumulated in the lower vessel drop by drop, where a tap is fitted at the bottom to drain water for use. The top vessel has a lid on top.

The manufacturing of steel vessels involves the following steps:

S.S. Blanks (Purchased/Blanked on Circle Cutting Machine)

Deep Drawing

Trimming and Curling

Punching of Holes for Fittings

Polishing

Packaging

(Accessories e.g. tap, ceramic filter candles and lid knobs are supplied along with, which are fitted by the customers at home as per Instructions Manual.)

Quality Control and Standards

There is no ISI specification for the product. However, the product is made to various sizes ranging from 12 lit. to 30 lit. capacity out of stainless steel sheets of 24 and 28 gauge.
