Magnetic filter proven for machine tool coolants
The innovative new "AutoMag" filter uses powerful magnetism to improve the quality, efficiency and economic performance of machine shop manufacturing, grinding and finishing processes
The fluid is used to wash the car body clean after spot welding operations have been carried out.
This washing process removes the ferrous particles of residual spatter produced by the welding operation.
This process sounds simple enough but each car produces 7 grams of spatter.
Due to the high production rates this rapidly builds up in the storage tank and is re-circulated back onto the car bodies.
This has to be avoided to maintain a consistently high quality final paint finish.
Eclipse worked closely to the customer requirements to design a magnetic filtration system that would remove the spatter from the fluid and thus avoid re-circulation, to make the system quick and easy to clean and to cope with the high flow rate of the fluid.
The filtration unit is now working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, increasing final paint finish quality, reducing pump and valve wear and extending fluid life.
