Efficient, High-Volume Vacuum Fluid Filtration Systems

PRAB’s Mon-A-Vac™ and Mon-A-Matic™ vacuum fluid filtration systems provide efficient, high-volume filtration solutions for machining centers and grinding applications. We’ve engineered these systems to handle high sludge volumes with filtration capacities of up to 3,000 GPM, reducing maintenance needs and operational costs. Our vacuum filters deliver continuous operation in both permanent and disposable media models, reducing downtime and optimizing productivity.

Whether you need a standard unit or a custom-engineered solution, PRAB offers the reliable performance required for industrial fluid filtration.

 

Permanent Media Backflush Process

PRAB Vacuum Filters are virtually maintenance-free. Eliminating a high sludge volume results in lower production costs and continuous operation, which decreases downtime. Industrial filtration equipment is available in permanent and disposable media models.

Features & Benefits of PRAB vacuum filtration systems for fluid reclamation include:

  • Continuous operation eliminates downtime
  • Permanent media models eliminate disposable media waste stream, adhering to ISO-14001 standards
  • Disposable media models offer various grades of media to meet fluid clarity requirements

Mon-A-Vac Disposable Media Vacuum Fluid Filtration Systems

The PRAB Mon-A-Vac is a disposable media vacuum filter that maximizes contaminant removal. Filters utilize a vacuum chamber to draw dirty coolant through the disposable filter media. They apply the proven principle of optimal filtration through contaminate or sludge build-up, forming a cake on the filter media. Filtration is maximized as caking builds up on the media. Standard vacuum filter units are available with flow rates up to 3,000 GPM.

Mon-A-Matic Semi-Permanent Media Vacuum Fluid Filtration Systems

The PRAB Mon-A-Matic is a semi-permanent media vacuum filter that removes particulate down to 10 microns. This vacuum filter uses a synthetic filter media to reduce operational costs while providing fine particulate removal. Backflushing the filter with clean coolant keeps the filter clean and eliminates the need for large volumes of air. The backflushed solids drop from the filter element and settle into a tank where they are removed via an automatic chain dragout.
