Realistically priced coolant filtration system can be retrofitted

A realistically priced filtration system for machine tool coolant effective down to 1 micron and with a small footprint can be fitted to both new and used machines. The system is unusual in that the filters are placed horizontally in the filtration system, so are far easier to load and – more particularly – to unload. A single cartridge is used in the filter and the filtration area is double that of other systems of a similar capacity. The filter handles up to 80 lt/min so is suitable for use with high pressure coolant systems and filters to 1 micron. Maintenance is minimal because the tank is self-cleaning - Hirschmann has designed a unique method of disrupting oil in the tank to eliminate the problem of sludge settling in the bottom of the oil tank. A chiller unit is integral within the system. The unit has a small footprint, minimising the floor space required.
