Filtramag+ is the latest coolant filtration system from Eclipse Magnetics Ltd, Sheffield (
www.eclipsemagnetics.com).
It offers significant advantages for precision metal-machining processes — such as grinding, honing, drilling and super-finishing — by removing potentially damaging ferrous particles from oils and coolants and ensuring that these fluids run cleaner and for longer.
Filtramag+ incorporates a number of features; these include Eclipse’s Dual Flow Technology, which ensures that the fluid is exposed to the high-intensity magnets for the maximum length of time without affecting flow, resulting in almost 100% removal of ferrous contamination on the first pass.
Moreover, the unit can operate at pressures up to 20 bar. The patented Filtramag+ also features an optional mesh strainer for removing non-magnetic contamination.
Filtramag+ requires no consumable items, which dramatically cuts costs and waste disposal when compared with paper filters or cartridge filters.
The unit ensures that even sub-micron ferrous particles are extracted; this is a major advantage over traditional filters that typically remove only particles larger than 10µm.
