The vacuum filter can be a cost efficient and versatile method for removing solid particles from metalworking fluids. The filter pump creates a 0.3 bar differential pressure across the filter media so that flow rate and filtration quality far exceeds that of gravity type filters. The filter may be equipped with disposable media and/or a permanent belt to reduce disposal cost. Continuous operation is guaranteed by using a clean tank during the index cycle which is a fully automated action.

The main features of this filter type are low maintenance and low energy consumption (filter pump is system pump).  Vacuum Filter FV is available with typical flow rate of 1000-28000l/min.
