Low-profile, cost-effective filtration technology for solids filtration.
Low-profile solid/liquid separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals perfect for grinding applications with flow rates up to 130 gpm. Paper bed filters remove particulate down to 5-microns, prolonging coolant and tool life. Filtered fluid can be reused or recycled lowering operational costs. Standard units ship in 5 days or less.
Extend tool life by an average of 27%, improve surface finish and prolong coolant life with PRAB’s line of paper bed filters. Standard paper bed filtration systems are available with flow rates up to 130 gpm with different classes of filter fabric allowing for adjustments of micron clarity. The disposable filter rolls are suitable for applications of low to medium stock removal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic contaminants, such as glass, rubber and plastic. Drum-type models occupy one-third the floor space and can process up to 500 gpm of fluids.

Considering Environmental Impact and Other Motivating Factors Beyond Mere Compliance By Tim Hanna, Vice President of Business Development, PRAB Introduction On a global level, wastewater treatment is an increasingly critical topic of discussion that has been addressed at the very highest levels of government and major corporations. In order to find a sustainable […]
When market factors reduce profit margins, metalworking operations should consider shifting their capital expenditures to back-end process systems. By Mike Hook, Sales & Marketing Director, PRAB Introduction In 2010, Modern Machine Shop magazine released its inaugural “Top Shops” benchmarking survey. Intended as an annual method for metalworking shops to compare their key performance indicators with […]
Cutting fluids play a very important role in metalworking by providing lubrication to the working area which decreases the amount of heat generated while cutting—preventing tools from exceeding critical temperature ranges. However, cutting fluid deteriorates over time as it becomes contaminated with tramp oils, metal fines, and bacteria. As it breaks down, it can damage machining tools, pumps, and […]
