Product Description
What is a Vacuum Filter?
A Vacuum Filter is a high-efficiency continuous filtration system that uses a vacuum (suction) to pull liquid through a filter media. It is ideal for fine particle filtration, particularly in grinding operations, where superior coolant clarity is required.
CONSTRUCTION & WORKING
Main Components:
- Dirty Liquid Inlet Tank
- Vacuum Chamber (negative pressure zone)
- Filter Media Conveyor (paper/cloth)
- Clean Tank with Coolant Pump
- Vacuum Pump
- Float Switches & Sensors
Working Principle:
- Coolant with chips enters the dirty tank.
- It is drawn through the filter media into the clean tank under vacuum pressure.
- Solids stay on the media, clean fluid passes through.
- Clogged media triggers auto-indexing mechanism (media roll moves forward).
- Spent media is collected in a waste bin.
