Filtration removes sub micron metallic
particles
A high intensity rare earth magnetic filtration unit removes sub micron metallic particles from a wide range of applications and has a service life of up to 50 years.
Avaialble from QSCD and fullfilling several components of an effective Fluid Management Programme is the Micromag, a high intensity rare earth magnetic filtration unit which removes sub micron metallic particles from a wide range of fluid applications The Micromag's unique features are designed to complement or replace a machine tools existing filtration unit

Oxidation products in hydraulic oils removed
Cleaning product loosens and removes oxidation products in hydraulic oil systems and improves system efficiency - the products are held in suspension until the system is drained.
Aqueous lubricant aids press work performance
A high performance aqueous lubricant used to aid the efficient manufacture of metal pressings and precision stampings and post formed parts requiring application of lacquer or paint.
With a service life of up to 50 years the Micromag is a cost effective one off purchase as there are no 'oil sodden' filter cartridges to replace, or dispose of, and no consumable wear parts.
Due to the patent pending magnetic circuit design no drop in fluid pressure or loss of fluid flow will occur when the Micromag units filter capacity is reached.
The units have a clear filter housing so the level of contamination captured can be easily seen and swarf removal is achieved in less than 1 minute with a near dry, cake type waste produced with minimal fluid contamination.
By removing sub micron metallic components operator safety is increased by the removal of particles which otherwise may enter the atmosphere within the coolant mist and the risk of skin abrasion is reduced.
Tool life can be be expected to increased with the risk of poor surface finish on final or critical operations reduced by removing the sub micron particles which could flow into the tool / workpiece interface.
Metalworknig fluid life can be prolonged as the Micromag will not 'strip out' additive packages of metalworking fluids as is the potential with other fine filtration media and the submicron filtering capacity reduces the risk of bacterial development through the restriction of build up of fines in the sump.
Request a brochure from QSCD for further information on the Micromag which provides a very effective method for removing fine metallic particles in any fluid application.
The Micromag is one of a range of accessories that will show how a cost effective and self managed FMP can be established with minimal capital investment.
