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.
