Roll Coolant Filtration System About
Our Roll Coolant Filtration System is a specialized filtration unit used in metal rolling mills (especially steel and aluminium processing) to filter and recirculate the coolant used in the rolling process. These systems play a critical role in maintaining the quality of the rolled product, protecting equipment, and extending coolant life.
WHAT IS A ROLL COOLANT FILTRATION SYSTEM?
Its an industrial filtration setup designed to:
- Clean and recycle coolant (oil or emulsion) used in rolling mills.
- Remove contaminants such as metal fines, scale, and debris.
- Maintain fluid temperature, pressure, and cleanliness to ensure efficient rolling operations.
WHY IS FILTRATION IMPORTANT IN ROLLING MILLS?
- Improves surface finish of the rolled material.
- Reduces tool and roll wear.
- Minimizes downtime due to maintenance.
- Increases coolant lifespan and reduces disposal costs.
- Prevents clogging and wear of downstream equipment (like heat exchangers, pumps, etc.).
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
- Collection Troughs / Tanks: Collect coolant from mill stand area.
- Coarse Pre-Filters: Remove large particles, scale, and chips.
Main Filtration Units
May include:
- Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator
- Agitator
- Self-cleaning filtration system
- Oil Skimmer
- Compact band filter
Clean Coolant Tank: Stores filtered coolant ready for reuse.
Pump Systems: Transfer coolant through the system and back to the mill.
Cooling Units (Optional): Heat exchangers or chillers to maintain coolant temperature.
Control Panel (PLC / HMI): Manages operations, alarms, and monitoring.
WORKING PRINCIPLE (GENERAL FLOW)
- Dirty coolant from the rolling mill is collected.
- Coarse filtration removes large debris.
- It passes through fine filtration (Compact band filter / Self-cleaning filter / Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator / Oil Skimmer)
Clean coolant is cooled (if required).
Coolant is pumped back to the rolling process.
Sludge/particles are collected and disposed of or processed.
