Central Filtration Systems for MWFs

From CIMCOOL
 

 

Filtration is a process employed in the metalworking industry to remove contaminants from fluid mixes so they can be reused in a circulating system. Contaminants reduce the performance and shorten the life of a
metal-working fluid mix. Among those commonly found in the fluid reservoir are:

1. Metal chips, grinding grit or both (swarf).
2. Hydraulic and lubricating oils (extraneous oil or tramp oil).
3. Debris such as shop rags, scraps of food, paper, etc.

Filtration implies the use of filter media (porous cloth or paper; metal screens) to remove solid matter from fluid. This, indeed, is the case in positive filtration. The metalworking industry, however, also applies the term "filter" to equipment, which settles solids or separates them from a fluid mix.
