Metal Cutting Vacuum Filtration
Our metal cutting vacuum filter system is a robust and tested solution for efficient filtration. Filtra-Systems offers a comprehensive product line available in various sizes to fit nearly any solid-to-liquid separation operation. This highly modular platform is adaptable for individual machines or extensive applications, supporting up to 60 machines running simultaneously.
Description
Filtra-Systems' Hydro-Vac is the "original" metal-cutting vacuum filter system for metalworking fluids. Since 1979, we've established ourselves as a global leader in coolant filtration, with over 6,000 Hydro-Vac systems installed worldwide.
These systems are engineered to increase coolant clarity and improve part quality, filtering mineral oils, coolants (soluble or synthetic), and other fluids ranging from 100 gpm to 10,000 gpm. Trusted across industries, our systems ensure smooth operations supported by a global sales and service network offering problem-solving, spare parts, and filter media.
Operation
Vacuum filtration works by drawing dirty effluent through a filtration medium to remove trapped solids. The Hydro-Vac automates this process, ensuring continuous operation without downtime for cleaning or waste removal. It automatically monitors fluid for key performance indicators, reacting to optimize efficiencies for downstream equipment. By using our Hydro-Vac filter, you will also extend the coolant life, significantly boosting productivity and saving costs through increased tool life.
