Micromag Filters improve quality on an EDM machine

Impact Tool Room Services recently installed a 5inch Micromag Filter by Eclipse Magnetics onto their existing EDM machine to pre filter returning fluid prior to the existing cartridge filters

Impact Tool Room Services of Sheffield recently installed a 5" Micromag Filter by Eclipse Magnetics onto their existing EDM machine to pre filter returning fluid prior to the existing cartridge filters.

David Hey, Production Director at Impact comments, "We decided to install the Micromag unit to reduce our existing cartridge usage, which was costing us GBP140 a month.

One thing we never expected was the improved quality surface finish due to the elimination of re-circulating sub micron particles and the increased visual appearance of the machine itself.

Our cartridge change-over has been extended to three months allowing us to increase our productivity.

Due to the benefits we've seen on the EDM we are now considering installing 20 inch units on all of our surface and cylindrical grinders".

Micromag, is the latest generation of magnetic filter and can be utilised in any fluid application where ferrous or paramagnetic contamination is present.

The unit is especially affective with machine tool oils and coolants.

Micromag is available in three housing sizes 5 and 10 inches with 1 inch inlet/outlet ports and a 20 inch unit with 1.5 inch ports.

All units are supplied with port adaptors to suit most pipe connection sizes.

Micromag has many benefits over more conventional forms of filtration:.

* Sub micron filtration efficiency, if the particle is magnetic the Micromag Will remove it.

* No loss of fluid due to changing oil sodden cartridges.

* No pressure drop, even when fully loaded with contamination.

* No consumables required, ever!: Once purchased the unit doesn't require on-going spend resulting in lower operating costs.

* No maintenance required, only operator intervention to clean.

* Reduced environmental impact, all you're left with is metallic material which can be collected by your material supplier.

* Capable of removing abrasives and non-magnetic material by means of heterocoagulation.

* Reduce machine downtime, increase productivity.

* Visual inspection of fluid being filtered.

Before you consider spending thousands of pounds on your next filtration system, consider Eclipse Magnetics systems.

The Micromag range starts at just GBP295 and is available from stock.

Other accessories available to complement the range are housing spanners, lid mounting brackets, Viton seals and spare magnetic cores.
