Multi-stage filters maintain productivity
Traditional oil mist filtration equipment can sometimes struggle to cope with the demands of high productivity machining operations, but Absolent filter units are designed to satisfy.
Indexers offer repeatability under heavy cuts
When Pacson came to evaluate rotary indexing units to enable valve bodies to be machined in a single cycle it should choose Kitagawa equipment; not just once, but twice!
The new unit measures 560 x 561 x 1102mm high and weighs just 95kg, making it ideal for mounting directly on most machine tools.
In addition, the compact and lightweight g.one is suitable for both wall or floor mounting, or can even be suspended from workshop ceilings.
At the heart of the new Absolent unit is a two-stage separation process.

Major uplift in orders for Kitagawa
Sales are booming for Wiltshire-based Kitagawa Europe, with a major uplift in orders across its product range leading to a 10-year high in business levels during August.
The principal filtration stage utilises Disc Stack Centrifuge Technology developed by Alfa Laval, which requires no maintenance in normal use.
The disc stack module is powered by a 1.5kW motor and produces centrifugal forces of up to 5000G, to achieve 97% separation of all particles down to 1 micron.
In the unit's second stage, the process air is directed through a high efficiency HEPA filter rated at 99.997% at 0.3 microns, which has a guaranteed minimum service life of 12 months.
With an output that is cleaner than outdoor 'fresh air', the g.one not only safeguards employees' health and safety, but also enables 1000m3/h of filtered air to be returned to the working environment at ambient temperature minimising additional space heating or cooling costs.
Suitable for a wide range of oils and all water based machining coolants, the new g.one from Kitagawa is designed for long and reliable service, with low life-cycle costs.
It is backed by more than 100 years of disc stack centrifuge design experience and is supplied with a full two-year factor warranty.
