PRAB Candle Filters

Fine particulate oil and coolant filtration for cutting & grinding applications.

Remove fine particulate from spent oil in honing and electronic discharge machining, tungsten carbide tool, and steel ball grinding applications with a PRAB Candle Filter.

PRAB’s Candle Filter improves coolant recycling systems and fluid reclamation by using media in a long cylinder that houses more than 10,000 thin membrane wafers. These membranes effectively and consistently capture grinding swarf down to 1-3 micron and operate reliably under large production runs for improving fluid waste management.

Advantages of the candle filter include:

• Improves coolant recycling and fluid reclamation
• Filters operate with virtually no downtime for maintenance
• Performs reliably under large production runs
• 10,000 thin membrane wafers capture grinding swarf down to 1-3 micron
• Self-cleaning air pressure backflush cycle reduces labor costs and increases process efficiency
• Swarf is purged into an external receptacle for easy collection and recycling in coolant filtration

Applicable Scope:

• Tungsten carbide tool grinder
• Electronic discharge machining
• Honing
• Ball bearing grinding

Maximum permissible oil viscosity:

• Grinding – under 45 SUS (100°F, 37.8°C)
• EDM – under 37 SUS (73°F, 33.8°C)
• Filter precision: Down to 1-3 micron

PRAB completes comprehensive sample testing to establish an accurate understanding of the unique characteristics of your mixed solution and its industrial applications. This test determines the correct centrifuge system design and capacity to optimizes the filtration process within your facility.
