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.

Research has shown that top-performing machine shops annually invest two to three times more money in capital equipment than other shops. Not coincidentally, profit margins for high performers are almost double those reported by typical shops. For all businesses, the objective is to achieve the largest possible profit margins. One way for metalworking operations to attain that goal is […]
A worldwide manufacturer of complex metal components for the aerospace industry needed to achieve maximum recovery of its cutting fluids from scrap material that was being machined at its facility in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, the company wanted to receive a higher value for its scrap by removing the maximum amount of coolant possible from the material, as well […]
Metalworking operations are often faced with unavoidable costs that are beyond their control. Two of the largest this year have been tariffs, and the cost of cutting fluids. Fortunately, there are many back-end solutions to help offset these costs that will add more value to metal scrap and spend fluids, and move profit margins in a positive direction. Machine […]
