KFA 1500 Filtration System

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.

reCool for Quill Feed Drilling Units

What is the main purpose for coolant application? Of course, among many reasons, primarily it's for the lubrication and cooling of the cutting edge and, in addition, to help facilitate chip evacuation. REGO-FIX has launched a cost-effective and efficient attachment for the application of coolant-lubrication liquids through the tool, based on an ER collet nut, which is suitable for use on SUHNER feed drilling units.

Allweiler EMTEC-C Three-Screw Pump

Plant engineers can now choose one CIRCOR coolant pump to handle pump outlet pressure needs from 0 to 100 bar. The Allweiler EMTEC-C three-screw coolant pump introduced last year handles even higher pressure applications than before, increases overall speed and efficiency, and offers manufacturers one simplified pump suitable for keeping abrasive machine chips, particles and heat away from cutting surfaces in machine tool coolant service.

VpCI-648 Water Treatment

Cortec Corp. has developed a simple water treatment for use in cooling systems where low conductivity or low sodium products are required. Based solely on organic components, VpCI-648 does not contain nitrites or any halogen counter ions. At recommended dosages, VpCI-648 does not significantly contribute to the conductivity of water systems. VpCI-648 protects both ferrous metals and copper.

Ultrafine Coolant Filtration Systems

When grinding tools, ultrafine coolant filtration is clearly a worthwhile proposition for the tool manufacturer or regrinder: The cleaner the grinding oil is and the less often it has to be replaced, the more it will save on coolant costs, minimize waste, and reduce tool costs and machine downtimes. Filter technology, which not only cleans the grinding oils and coolants economically, but also keeps them temperature-stabilized state in the system for an extended time period, achieves measurable gains.
