Solid-Liquid Filtration Systems

Mon-A-Vac™ Disposable Media

These filters utilize a vacuum chamber to draw dirty coolant through the disposable filter media. A vacuum system draws the dirty coolant through the filter media, causing solids and sludge to build up and cake on the media. Upon completion of the indexing cycle the filter returns to the normal operating mode. The clean tank is continuously and automatically refilled for the next index cycle.

Standard Vacuum Filter units are available with flow rates up to 4000 gpm. Custom designed vacuum filters are our specialty.

Features

• Continuous media models eliminates down time
• Permanent media models eliminate disposable media waste stream, adhering to ISO-1401 standards
• Disposable media models offer various grades of media to meet fluid clarity requirements

Candle Filter - 1 Micron

FINE PARTICULATE OIL AND COOLANT FILTRATION

• Engineered for oil filtration in EDM, tungsten carbide tool grinding, honing machine, and bearing grinding applications.
• Membrane wafers capture grinding swarf at 1 micron.
• Automatic air pressure back flush cycle reduces labor costs and increases process efficiency.
• Swarf is purged into an external receptacle for easy collection and recycling.

Mon-A-Permanent™ Semi-Permanent Media

The Mon-A-permanent uses semi-permanent elements to eliminate disposable media and reduce operation costs. Back flushing the filter with clean coolant keeps the filter clean and eliminates the need for large volumes of air. The back-flushed solids drop from the filter element and settle into a tank where they are removed via an automatic chain dragout. The Mon-A-permanent requires minimal floor space and is completely self contained, simplifying maintenance and operation. Vacuum filter systems are offered in models, sizes, capacities, flow rates and media necessary to meet your needs.

Features

• No special pumps are required for feed or discharge.
• Suitable for centrifugal filtering of oils and water-based coolant.
• Filter ferrous or non ferrous materials.
• No Consumable media is required, adhering to ISO-14001 standards.
• Available as a stand-alone unit, or can be incorporated into a customized centrifuge filtration system.
• Flow rates up to 50 GPM.

MSC specialize in liquid-liquid and liquid-solid centrifuge separation technology, solids feathering, and centrifuge liquid filtration and fluid clarification systems technology with many performance enhancing design features.

Fully Automatic Centrifuges are now available. This model requires little to no maintenance associated with cleaning the centrifuge. All Solid Bowl centrifuges are specifically engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications and provide consistent, reliable operation over long life-cycles.

You can expect a comprehensive industrial application sample tests to establish an accurate understanding of the unique characteristics of your mixed solution. This test will determine the correct centrifuge system design and capacity. MSC technical engineers are able to design and construct the optimum system for your facility.

Applications

Remove Ferrous Particles Efficiently and Economically

PRAB's line of magnetic separators employ high-intensity ferrite or rare earth magnets within a fully energized rotating drum to continuously remove ferrous particles from the flow of liquid. These systems are often used as a pre-filter to limit contaminants reaching subsequent filtration equipment. Magnetic Separators are well suited to processes where ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants are mixed with water based coolants or straight cutting oils.

Features

• Available flow rates up to 315 gpm
• No Consumable media - eliminates disposal media, waste stream, adhering to ISO-14001 standards
• Continuous Operation - reduces machine downtime
• Most units instock and can ship same day
• Integrates easily with the Paper Bed Filter

Models

Depending upon your applications needs, PRAB and MSC offer three models of magnetic separators.

• Standard Magnetic Separators Utilize ferrite magnets to remove ferrous particles
• Super Magnetic Separators Utilize rare earth magnets with 8x (3000 gauss) the force of conventional ferrite magnets
• 10T Super Magnetic Separators Utilize rare earth magnets with 10x (3600 gaus) the force of conventional ferrite magnets.

Rare Earth Magnets vs. Ferrite

Use rare earth magnets when the following conditions are met:

• When large amounts of sludge accumulates within the machines coolant tank.
• When the coolant being used is a Straight Oil Coolant (Honing Machines, Screw Machines).

Fine Particulate Oil And Coolant Filtration

• Engineered for oil filtration in EDM, tungsten carbide tool grinding, honing machine, and bearing grinding applications
• Membrane wafers capture grinding swarf at 1 micron
• Automatic air pressure back flush cycle reduces labor costs and increases process efficiency
• Swarf is purged in to an external receptacle for easy collection and recycling

Applications:

• Tungsten carbide tool grinder
• EDM
• Honing
• Ball bearing grinding

Max. permissible oil viscosity:

• Grinding - under 45 sus (100 F, 37.8° C)
• EDM - under 37 SUS (73 F, 33.8° C)

The PRAB Candle Filter is specifically engineered to meet the challenges of efficiently removing fine particulate from spent oil in honing and EDM applications and tungsten carbide tool and steel ball grinding applications. This new filter uses media in a long cylinder that houses over 10,000 thin membrane wafers. These membranes effectively and consistently capture grinding swarf at 1 micron. These dependable filters operate with virtually no down time for maintenance. The self-cleaning air driven backwash system automatically clears the filter of dirt and debris allowing the Candle Filter to perform reliably under large production runs.
