Dry filter and grinding sludge has substantial advantages: More metalworking fluid (MWF) remains in the machine, the MWF consumption falls and disposal costs are reduced. Flender purchased five vacuum belt filter units from MKR, to reduce these costs, to provide greater safety in production and also to do more for the environment.
Anderl Metzger, MKR Managing Director, named an important advantage of his vacuum-filtration technology: “Anyone who used to change the metalworking fluid (MWF) in their grinding machines three times a year and had to completely clean the machines, now only has to do so once a year.” And this is thanks to the MKR vacuum belt filter systems, available in two sizes, VC-200 and VC-400. They filter the fine grinding swarf from the MWF so well that almost no sludge now collects in the machine’s MWF tank. For any expert, it is completely clear what this means: The sludge reduces the quantity of MWF needed for cooling. And - sludge particles are returned to the grinding process with the MWF.
