Inter-Source: Fluid Filtration

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).

This list includes some of the fluid filtration systems Inter-Source has engineered for clients:

1. Magnetic Filtration
2. Central Coolant Filter
3. Vacuum Media Filtration
4. Two Central Coolant Filters

1. Magnetic Filtration

Magnetic filtration for separation of ferrous particulates.

2. Central Coolant Filter

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.

3. Vacuum Media Filtration

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.

4. Two Central Coolant Filters

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.
