MAGNETIC FILTRATION
SAVES THE DAY
Magnetic filtration can be used in almost
any environment where ferrous and
paramagnetic contamination of a liquid
is a problem. Magnetic filtration can be
used in almost any environment where
ferrous and paramagnetic contamination
of a liquid is a problem. In the
metalworking and finishing world, this
applies directly to the filtration of
coolants and cleaning fluids. This
environmentally responsible method
helps fluids to retain their essential
properties for extended periods and
allows ferrous contamination to be
collected for recycling. This filtration can
also help efforts to increase a shop’s
productivity. Because fluid does not flow
through
filter
media,
flow
is
uninterrupted. Even when the filter is full,
there is no blinding or risk of burst filters
that would cause downtime. Overall,
magnetic
filtration
can lead to longer
lasting fluids and
lower
operating
costs. But beyond
these benefits, this
shop also notes that
the process helped
attain the surface
finish that customers
required.
Case Study: Carbide Cutting Tools are a
leading manufacturer of carbide cutting
tools for metalworking. The plant
operates 24 hour per day. At this site,
neat cutting oil is held in an individual

tank, then delivered to a contact point
and re-circulated via a cartridge filter.

This was leading to downtime of 6 hour
per month.

Previous filtration system was inadequate
to filter sub micron particles. Resulting

Magnetic filtration was installed on to a
Walter grinding machine along with the
existing filtration system.
The filter unit now
extracts 2 kg of carbide
particle every week.
Removing these particle
ensure consistent finish
and dramatically reduce
the rejection rate. In
addition, a lot of savings
were generated by reducing the number
of pump replacements and increased the
life of existing filter. Fluid life has also
increased by approximately 40 %. Now
