Magnetic filtration removes ferrous particles from coolants, lubricants and wash solutions

Magnetic filtration is a means of removing problem ferrous particles from industrial fluids such as coolants, lubricants and wash solutions.

Eclipse Magnetic Filters have the ability to remove 100 per cent of ferrous particles, including sub-micron particles from a process. Traditional filtration systems typically leave particles smaller than 5-10 microns circulating in fluid, causing damage to process equipment and finished products. Magnetic filtration enables a cleaner cut or grind, improves surface finish, and reduces reject rates.

Magnetic filters remove particles smaller than one micron in size. Tradtional barrier filters typically leave particles smaller than 5-10 microns circulating in the fluid. These particles significantly affect the performance of fluids and also act as a focus for bacterial build-up.

Contamination is removed from the filter as a semi-dry ‘cake’. Fluid loss is considerably less than that of traditional filter media. The cake can be recyled, eliminating expensive specialist disposal costs.

Manually cleaned magnetic filters require no additional power. Magnetic self-cleaning filters only require a small amount of power for the cleaning process.

Eclipse Magnetic Filtration supplies a range of different magnetic filters.

Micromag is suitable for single-cell machines and smaller wash stations. The manual clean magnetic filter can be easily installed on new or existing equipment. With a high-intensity magnetic core and patented fluid flow path, Micromag ensures removal of almost 100 per cent of ferrous contamination.

Filtramag+’s high-intensity magnetic cores make it suitable for use with materials that have lower magnetic permeability such as tungsten carbide and cast iron. With a stainless steel construction, Filtramag+ is suitable for use in harsh chemical environments and wash systems.

The Automag magnetic filter is a fully automated unit suitable for 24/7 machining operations. With high contamination collection capacity and an ability to handle high flow rates, Automag is widely used on high-volume production lines.

The Autofiltrex magnetic filter has a ‘plug-and-play’ unit that delivers savings in fluid usage, filter consumables and waste-disposal costs. In addition, it improves surface quality.
