The Challenge
Machine shops face rising coolant costs and disposal issues from contaminated metalworking fluids. Metal fines and tramp oils degrade fluid performance and tool life.
The Solution: Continuous Fluid Maintenance
Filter bags remove metal particles and extend coolant life while maintaining cutting performance. Side-stream filtration provides continuous cleaning without production interruption.
Recommended Filter Selection:
- General Machining: Polypropylene felt (25-200 micron)
- Fine Finishing: Extended life media (5-50 micron)
- High-Temperature Operations: Polyester felt (50-200 micron)
Key Benefits
- Extends coolant life by 300-500%
- Improves surface finish quality
- Reduces fluid disposal costs
- Maintains cutting tool performance
System Integration
Side-stream filtration systems provide continuous cleaning. Size for 10-20% of total system volume for optimal results.
