Coolant filtration to below 1 micron

  • Coolant filtration to below 1 micron
Hirschmann Engineering UK has launched the advanced Sludge Master GFS-1350-HYDRO-DSD filtration system.

Designed specifically for use on centerless and cylindrical grinders, the new Ebbco unit is able to remove particulates below 10 micron from coolant, via an economical, media free set-up, but when fitted with a 623 filter cartridges, filtration levels below 1 micron are possible.

SludgeMaster significantly extends coolant life by preventing harmful contaminants from accumulating anywhere within the system. The system is designed to process 2-3 times the amount of clarified fluid that is required for a specific machining process. This flow rate allows the system to prevent the build-up of solids, and ensures a continuous supply of clean coolant.

Via a claimed unique centrifugal action of a Lakos separator, solids are transferred automatically into a 55 gallon drum or an optional hopper ensuring easy disposal or the resale of separated solids as scrap.

As SludgeMaster has a minimal amount of moving parts and requires no media replacements, making the unit virtually maintenance-free.
