Coolant Filtration Equipment

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.

MP Systems has launched a new coolant filtration system designed to prevent chips from accumulating inside a CNC machine tool's coolant tank and causing coolant starvation of the machine tool's flood pump and the high pressure coolant pump.

Many segments of the metalworking industry require cooling lubricants with high purity (NAS 7/8 or 3-5 µm). With the KFA 1500, the machine manufacturer VOMAT provides a highly efficient, low-maintenance ultrafine filtration system for tool manufacturers and regrinders that promises optimal quality even with very large batch sizes.

Vomat systems for filtering oils and removing ultrafine particles that result from grinding, honing, lapping and eroding are available from oelheld U.S. Inc. The automatically controlled filter backwash process is activated only on demand and fully separates contaminated and clean oil.

HSS has developed into an important quality and added value factor in the production of cutting tools. VOMAT supplies compact and capable filtration machines with its FA series. The systems can be configured with add-on or optional modules to customer-specific high-performance filters.

Whether miniature instruments for endoscopy or tiny mechatronic components in automobiles - the demand for microcomponents in all areas of daily and industrial life is constantly increasing. At the same time, there is a growing need for high-precision miniature tools to produce these delicate products. Fine filtration of metal coolants plays a special role in the overall machining process and is a prerequisite for production of these items. The slightest contamination of the grinding oil or small temperature variances can have a negative impact on finished part quality. The filtration system manufacturer VOMAT offers ultrafine filtration systems with high control accuracy that provide clean coolants in NAS 7 quality and are particularly well-suited for the production of miniature tools.

The Eriez HydroFlow redesigned SumpDoc portable inline fluid reclamation machine is winning new orders and generating an overwhelmingly positive response from users, according to the company. The modified design, which was developed based on customer input and unveiled in 2017, makes SumpDoc units more affordable and easier to use in a smaller footprint.

Eriez HydroFlow reports that a growing number of leading manufacturers from around the globe are now utilizing the company's Comat superfiltration systems on thousands of machine tools, superfiltering 530,000 U.S. gallons of metalworking oil every minute. This technology is opening up new opportunities for these customers by eliminating restrictions on the types of metal they can filter, decreasing costs and reducing labor requirements.

The latest generation of theEriez RevX-E product line combines the same high performance separation of previous models with a variety of maintenance-friendly enhancements, including an innovative cantilever frame design, which enables 10-minute belt changes.

Clean coolant in carbide and HSS tool grinding is important in creating a safe work environment and is partly responsible for the quality of the end product. VOMAT GmbH from Germany provides fine filtration systems that separate dirty and clean oil 100 percent with their full flow filtration process. The filter throughput and backwash cycles are automatically adjusted as needed. This extends the life of the filter elements and saves energy and costs.

When regrinding tools, clean filtered coolants are an important quality factor. The filtration system manufacturer VOMAT from Germany ensures that clean and pure cooling lubricants are available for an extended period of time to the production process. The compact VOMAT FA 70 is particularly suited to tool regrinding.
