Jorgensen Flex B and Flex C modular coolant filtration system adds filters

Jorgensen Conveyor & Filtration has launched Flex B and Flex C versions for its FlexFiltration modular coolant filtration system. Flex B uses bag filtration, while Flex C uses a cylindrical/hydrocyclone filter.

The filtration system combines pre-engineered modules to remove both chips and grinding sludge to achieve coolant clarity down to 10 µm or less, the company states. It can be used with many materials, including cast iron, steel, aluminum, plastic, and composite materials.

These join the company’s existing Flex G gravity filter.

Flex B provides flow rates of 30, 60, and 90 GPM, and filtration down to 10 µm for most applications. It is suitable for CNC machine tool applications involving either single machines or centralized coolant systems.

It can be incorporated into new or pre-existing coolant systems.

Flex C also provides flow rates of 30, 60, and 90 GPM and filtration down to 10 µm. In operation, contaminated CNC coolant enters the cyclonic filter at a high velocity through the inlet opening. The velocity of the liquid increases as it swirls downward inside the conical separating chamber. Then, solid contaminants are thrown against the walls of the chamber and forced to the bottom by centrifugal force. These solids are then discharged through a nozzle at the bottom of the filter.

As the whirling cleaned liquid approaches the bottom, it is unable to exit the restricted discharge nozzle. As a result, it reverses direction, forms an inner vortex, and seeks the clean liquid outlet at the top of the filter.

The company sells hydrocyclone filters in numerous sizes to fit the volume and desired coolant clarity.
