Filtra-Systems machine tool coolant filtration systems are designed to provide our customers coolant at the optimum pressure, flow rate, temperature and clarity required for each operation.

We combine our extensive industry experience and over thirty patented products to design the optimum system for each application. We offer the broadest line of equipment in the industry and handle applications from 50 gpm to 50,000 gpm for every type of machining operation and cutting fluid.

Most production machining applications require multiple machines for each operation. For these types of applications a central filtration system is typically used. A central filtration system has the advantage of providing each machine with the same concentration of coolant, at the same temperature and pressure.

All metal fines are discharged in one location and only one filter is operated and maintained. Operating and maintenance costs are reduced and product quality is enhanced.

Central filtration systems were historically located in pits or galleries, below plant floor level. This was common because in floor trenches were used to transfer the dirty coolant from the machine tool to the filter, which had to be located in the pit, below the end of the slopping trench.

Today, most new central filtration installations are located on the plant floor. This eliminates the trench, which must be double lined under current environmental regulations, and the pit that must also be lined and is considered a confined space.

In addition, when a central system is located on the plant floor, the customer has the flexibility to move the entire plant or rearrange operations at will.

Central filtration system design is based upon customer specification such as chip load, flow rate, pressure, temperature and clarity requirements as well as preferences for above floor or in floor design, vacuum versus pressure filters, and component specifications.
