Grinding Coolant Filtration Systems

Cleaner coolants mean longer-lasting, more effective and safer coolant as well as a better final product. GCH Tool Group offers a complete line of grinding coolant filtration systems, from paper bed units to magnetic separators, all designed to collect swarf and keep your coolant free of grinding medium particles.

GCH Tool offers a variety of styles and models of grinding coolant filtration systems, all suited to meet the needs of your application and your budget. For high tolerance grinding, GCH Tool also offers chiller units to maintain your coolant at a constant temperature. From the most basic to the most sophisticated, GCH Tool is pleased to be one of the leaders in coolant filtration systems for grinding.

Here are just a few of the grinding coolant filtration systems offered by GCH Tool:

Option 1: Gravity Paper Coolant Filtration Systems for Grinding (GCH-CFS-100 Series)

Available in seven models, GCH-CFS-100 series gravity paper coolant filtration systems boast versatility, simplicity and economical pricing, and are specifically designed to accommodate grinders and other machine tools. These state-of-the-art systems handle emulsions and water- and oil-based coolants up to a maximum viscosity of 20° cSt at 100°F (40°C).  Our gravity paper coolant filtration systems handle flow ranges from 13.2 to 105.6 gpm (50 to 500 lt/min).  Depending on the media used, filtration efficiency ranges from 10 to 60 microns.

Features:

• Solid and robust construction
• Weldless design prevents leaks and curbs rust
• High-quality powder-coated finish
• Coolant filter includes an electric control panel, coolant tank, filter bed, re-circulation pump and waste bin
• Options include a magnetic separator to remove ferrous metal

How it works:

Contaminated liquid flows through a trough for even distribution and then through a filter. As contaminants build on the filter media, trapped sludge causes the liquid level to rise, eventually triggering the unit’s micro switch. The switch activates the gear reduction motor and pulls used fabric into a waste collection tank. The filtered coolant passes into the coolant tank where it is re-circulated into the machine tool.

Option 2: Gravity Paper Coolant Filtration Systems for Grinding (GCH-CFS-300 Series)

Available in six models, GCH-CFS-300 series gravity paper coolant filtration systems provide high-performance filtration.  Designed for use in tight spaces, a unique perforated and inclined filter media bed supports the filter media and allows the media to thoroughly drain, reducing coolant dragout. In addition, this series of gravity paper coolant filtration systems features a fabric rewinding system, which harnesses the dirty filter fabric for easy disposal and maintenance.

These state-of-the-art coolant filtration systems handle emulsions and water- and oil-based coolants up to a maximum viscosity of 20° cSt at 100°F (40°C).  These coolant filtration systems handle flow ranges from 7.9 - 158.5 gpm (30 to 600 lt/min).  Depending on the fabric media used, the filtration efficiency ranges from 10 to 60 microns.

Features:

• Small footprint uses minimal floor space
• Solid and robust construction
• Unique design allows for significant savings in filter consumables
• Weldless design prevents leaks and curbs rust
• High-quality power-coated finish
• Coolant filter includes an electric control panel, coolant tank, filter bed, re-circulation pump and waste bin
• Options include a magnetic separator to remove ferrous metal

How it works:

Contaminated liquid flows through a trough for even distribution and then through a filter.  As solids accumulate on the filter media, trapped sludge restricts flow through the media, eventually triggering the micro switch. The switch triggers the gear reduction motor and pulls used fabric forward.  Because the fabric media sits on an incline, coolant drains back into the tank, resulting in dryer sludge. A horizontal scraper blade removes the dried sludge from the filter, which then falls into a waste tank. Used fabric is rolled onto a spent roller for easier maintenance. The filtered coolant passes into the coolant tank where it is re-circulated into the machine tool.

Option 3:  Magnetic Coolant Filtration Systems for Grinding (GCH-MGC-500 Series)

GCH Tool’s magnetic coolant filtration systems reliably remove ferrous contaminants from machine coolants without the need for costly filter consumables. Fitted with a sludge-scraping blade and engineered to produce a dry swarf “cake,” units handle flow ranges from 8 - 105.6 gpm (30 to 500 lt/min). 
Available in nine models, GCH-MGC-500 series coolant filtration systems separate magnetic particles from water-based coolants and whole oils and can be used with oils up to a maximum viscosity of 20° cSt at 100°F (40°C). 

Features:

• Solid and robust construction
• Unit does not require paper media 
• Weldless design prevents leaks and curbs rust
• High-quality power-coated finish
• Uses high power permanent magnets
• Coolant filter includes housing cover and flow breaking pre-chambers, tanks to collect the decontaminated liquids, an electric control panel and re-circulation pumps

How it works:

Contaminated coolant flows into the separation chamber where an indexing magnetic roll “combs” coolant to trap ferrous particles.
