Coolant Filtration Resources

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.

VOMAT says its full-flow filtration technology completely separates dirty oil from clean oil and allows for grinding with optimally cleaned cooling lubricants. VOMAT's filtration systems clean the oil so efficiently that it's useful life is much longer than if it were filtered with conventional filter systems still using paper filters or other expensive disposable filter media. A pleasant side effect is the low operating costs.

The filtration specialist VOMAT from Germany provides high-performance filtration technology – from small stand alone to large industrial central systems – which are designed to meet customer specific requirements and are of modular design. As a result, they can be quickly and easily adapted to changing requirements in the company.

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.

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.

The right filtration system in a tool grinding operation is an important part of the value chain and a prerequisite for high quality and uninterrupted production. Fine filtration systems developed by Vomat Inc., distributed by oelheld U.S. Inc., grow thanks to the availability of a variety of add-on modules to individually configure and tailor systems.

Abanaki Corp. will release the latest in coolant maintenance, the Oil Boss. The Oil Boss's unique filtration system, specialized collection medium and dual-chambered design removes oil from coolant with ease, according to the company.
