Coolant treatment automatic backflushing
filter
Using a backflushing AutoFluid automatic filter Mann+Hummel has overcome the problem of treating cooling emulsion during cutting.
When a European car producer purchased a machining centre for the production of engine parts, a system was needed which could reliably treat the cooling emulsion during the cutting of the cast iron and aluminium in order to protect the internally cooled tools, high pressure pump, and rotary distributor In the treatment of cooling emulsions the filtration of grey cast iron and graphite particles is considered to be an extremely difficult filtration task

Manual and automatic filters are self-cleaning
Manual and automatic self cleaning filters can process flow rates up to 400m3/hr with fineness down to 10 micron dependent on filter type and application.
Automatic filter aids industrial washing machines
Automatic backflusing filter has helped a major European manufacturer of industrial washing machines that was seeking a compact filter system with automatic cleaning capability.
In combination with the customer requirement for a filter fineness of 30 micron the application represents a severe challenge.
Using the backflushing AutoFluid automatic filter Mann+Hummel was able to overcome this problem and the system has been running smoothly since commissioning.
The removal of particles from the AutoFluid is achieved through backflushing (a pulsation process) and so mechanical scrapers are not necessary.
Standard 'AutoFluid' versions are available with filter fineness levels of 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200micron.
Different filter fineness specifications are also available with special pleat geometry variations.
The Mann AutoFluid automatic filter has proven itself to be highly efficient and economic for low and high viscosity fluids with gap widths from 10 micron.
A specially designed microprocessor monitors the preset differential pressures and operates the valves controlling the backflushing process leading to a long, low maintenance, service life.
