Fluid management is an essential part of chip management in that reclaiming fluids provides a rapid ROI, as well as substantial environmental benefits. It has two general components – handling the fluid (its capture, transport and containment), and filtering it. Inter-Source fluid filtration ensures capture and containment from any point in and throughout the entire reclamation process, and is typically an essential function supporting pucking (chip densification).
fluid_filtration_001
Heated bag filtration reduces viscosity for enhanced filtration.
fluid_filtration_002
Magnetic filtration for separation of ferrous particulates.
fluid_filtration_003
Centrifugal separator with bag-filter polish elements.
fluid_filtration_004
A high-volume (2,400 gallons / minute) central coolant filter providing uninterrupted, precise (approx. 10 microns @ 10 ppm) filtration, utilizing both permanent and indexing disposable filter media.
fluid_filtration_005
Vacuum media filtration provides continuous filtration, unlike bags. Media are self-indexing; a range of media are available to filter to the desired level. Permanent media are also available.
fluid_filtration_006
Chips discharged from one of two central coolant filters are collected, shredded, metered and pneumatically transported by vacuum to a single, central Inter-Source 30” continuous chip wringer.
