Paper Bed Filters

Total Paper Bed Systems 

Whether you select the Model DF or Model G, our paper bed filters can be used with either metallic or non-metallic polluting particles. These systems comprise the following components:

• Paper bed conveyor
• Clean holding tank
• Swarf box to hold spent paper
• Clean fluid return pump
• 460v/3PH/60 Hz electrical

Tailor these systems to your application with filter cloths that deliver the desired filtration for the fluid being filtered.

Processes that involve corrosive liquids, pure water, or food and beverage processing will benefit from high-quality stainless steel units.

The two paper bed models use a slightly different filtration process. The DF (deep flow hydrostatic filter) model works as follows:

1. Dirty Coolant Entry
Contaminated coolant enters the filter either by gravity or pressure and passes through a diffuser, which disperses the liquid onto the filter fabric. Solid particles are retained on the fabric, preventing them from contaminating the coolant further.

2. Filtration Process
As more coolant flows into the filter, a compact layer of waste material forms on the fabric, enhancing filtration efficiency and reducing filter media usage. Once the fabric becomes fully clogged, the liquid level rises, lifting the float.

3. Filter Media Advancement
The rising float activates the gear motor, which moves the chain supporting the clogged filter fabric. The used fabric is automatically removed and replaced by clean fabric (with an optional rewinding feature), restoring the filter’s permeability and allowing coolant to pass through again.

4. Clean Coolant Exit
The filtered coolant flows by gravity into a collection tank, where it is ready to be pumped back into the machine for reuse.

The two coolant filter paper models uses a slightly different filtration process. The G-Model magnetic paper bed filter works as follows:

1. Dirty Coolant Entry
   Contaminated coolant enters the system and is conveyed to a diffuser. The diffuser distributes the coolant onto the filter fabric, where particles are retained. Clean coolant then flows by gravity into the containment tank.
2. Filtration Process
   As the filter fabric captures and accumulates particles, the filter becomes clogged, causing the coolant level to rise. A float, triggered by the rising coolant, activates a microswitch that advances the conveyor, replacing the dirty filter media with clean fabric. The spent filter media is deposited into a waste bin.‍
3. Recycling of Filtered Coolant
   The dirty filter fabric is transferred to a sludge tank, while filtered coolant returns to the machine tool via a transfer pump, ensuring efficient coolant recycling and reuse.

Rapid ROI

Media and paper bed filtration units can pay for themselves within nine to 12 months. These systems trim costs by reducing money spent on paper bed filters, labor and maintenance, and fluid purchases and disposal costs. Two systems are available, each with a slightly different filtration process.
