Coolant Filtration Equipment

The Jorgensen FlexForce is a high-pressure coolant system for machine tools needing coolant supplied at 500-1000 PSIG for through-spindle coolant (TSC), available with a single or duplex bag filter and a chiller option. The system targets coolant directly at the cutting zone by breaking through the heat-generated vapor barrier created at the cutting tool and workpiece interface. TSC systems also offer better chip evacuation and more consistent temperature control for faster machine feeds and speeds.

The Flex B and Flex C join Jorgensen's existing Flex G gravity filter version. Flex B provides the same flow rates as Flex G – 30, 60 and 90 gpm – and filtration down to 10 microns for most applications. As its main filtration method, bag filters make the Flex B a cost-effective method for coolant and cutting fluid filtration and ideal for CNC machine tool applications involving either single machines or centralized coolant systems.

Prab Inc.'s Guardian is a turnkey fluid recycling system designed for easy installation and operation. In under three minutes, this video provides a detailed overview of the features and capabilities of the fluid recycling system.

The addition of touchscreen technology to the unit's control boxes will enhance communication with the machine operators. With a simple "touch", operators will be able to display many of the machine functions in real time.

FlexFiltration systems efficiently remove fine chips and grinding sludge to achieve coolant clarity down to 10 microns or less. They are especially well suited for challenging applications involving materials ranging from cast iron, steel and aluminum to composites and plastics.

This Abanaki Corp. video demonstrates how the company's Oil Boss oil skimmer provides cost savings by removing unwanted tramp oil and prolonging the life of the coolant.

As one of two CTE video supplements to the "Foil Tramp Oil" cover story in the February 2022 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, the Zebra Skimmers Corp. provided a 2-minute presentation focused on installing the company's ZVA8-08 Sidewinder tube skimmer with its magnetic base plate add-on.

Talking ultrafine filtration of water-soluble, fully synthetic coolants, emulsions or oils contaminated by sludge or chips - the use of a suitable filter system in industrial metalworking, such as tool grinding, turning and milling, is an important parameter for success. This is because ultrafine filtration plays a key role in ensuring that the machining process produces high quality, is sustainable and economical, and keeps the wear on the installed coolant system components low. With the new UBF vacuum belt filter, filter manufacturer Vomat is presenting a high-performance system that filters grinding residues, of metals and nonferrous alloys, from a wide variety of lubricants and coolants

When grinding carbide and HSS tools in large industrial volumes, large filter and central systems for cleaning contaminated grinding oils are worthwhile in several ways, like the filtration systems from filter specialist VOMAT in Treuen, Germany. They offer ultrafine filtration systems that can be individually customized to customer-specific production conditions.

Finely filtered grinding oils in cutting tool manufacturing are an important key to more quality and efficiency in production. Tool manufacturers who rely on the right technology and competence of their fine filtration equipment manufacturer make optimal use of the many advantages offered by efficient grinding oil filtration.

The Vomat UBF concept is a vacuum band filter equipped to handle a wide variety of sludge materials, such as ceramic, HSS, brass, aluminum oxide and disc abrasion.

VOMAT (which stands for Vogtländische Maschinen- und Anlagentechnik) has made a name for itself in the metalworking industry with its individually tailored filtration systems for coolants, along with their stable cooling in the tool grinding industry and other processes. VOMAT's product portfolio includes modular solutions for individual systems, central systems and customer-specific special systems with central and decentralised functions. VOMAT provides systems for carbide and HSS applications but also for other materials such as cermet, ceramics and diamond.
