Paper Bed Filters Control Bacteria Contamination

PRAB’s standard and magnetic paper bed filters are said to control bacteria contamination and extend coolant and tool life while increasing surface finish by an average of 27 percent. The company’s standard paper bed filtration units handle flow rates as high as 130 gpm with different classes of filter media available to achieve specific micron clarity. The filters are suitable for low to medium stock removal of ferrous and nonferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic contaminants such as glass, rubber and plastic. Drum-type models that can process 500 gpm of fluids while occupying one-third of the floor space required by the standard units are also available.

In addition, PRAB’s magnetic paper bed filter models are intended for pre-filtering ferrous materials from industrial process liquids. The surface of the magnetic paper bed filter is automatically indexed when necessary. Standard units are available with flow rates ranging to 250 gpm and an automated self-cleaning system that minimizes maintenance.
