Operation

4-phases filtering system

4 phases filtering

Phase 1: Mechanical chips & swarfs

It collects metal swarfs and chips in the initial filtering phase through a decanting process. These wastes are extracted by means of a chain that sweeps the floor.

Phase 2: Fine metallic sludge and floating elements in the solution

It collects metallic sludge and floating elements in the solution (calamine, metallic dust, etc.). These wastes are compacted by a coalescent cell and extracted into a container by means of a chain that sweeps the floor.

Phase 3: Insoluble oils

It removes insoluble oils present in the solution (oil carried by raw material, hydraulic leaks, etc.). These oils are collected by a drum skimmer in permanent contact with the liquid surface.

Phase 4: Automatic metering and temperature control or integrated

It provides permanent control of the volume and temperature of the filtered solution, maintaining the appropriate levels and concentration, and communicating start and stop commands to the cooling system.

What is Filtra4?

Filtra4 is the optimal filtration system to achieve a high degree of filtration and purification of industrial liquids.
