Overview - MicroMag Magnetic Filter

Low-cost, rapid payback magnetic filter

The patented, compact MicroMag magnetic filter can provide major cost, quality and environmental benefits to precision machining processes such as grinding, honing, lapping, drilling and EDM applications. With a high collection capacity relative  to size it offers a fine particle collection performance with a low initial investment.

MicroMag offers significant benefits in comparison to traditional filtration benefits such as reduced costs on consumable filters, increased fluid life, improved product quality and significant reductions in filter and fluid disposal. We can also offer a mobile version for using off-line which is easy to move from machine to machine. 

How it Works  
Contaminated fluid enters the inlet port where it is dispersed by the unique tapered radial flow channels. Fluid passes down the outside of the centrally mounted rare earth magnetic core which captures contamination particles along its length, resulting in excellent filtration efficiency.

The geometry of the magnetic flux circuit means that contamination builds up in a controlled way, ensuring that the filter can never block, irrespective of how much contamination is held. Channels remain open allowing fluid to continue to flow freely.

The filtered fluid flows through the return slots located in the upper section of the magnetic core, down through the centre and exits through the outlet port. The unit is cleaned simply and quickly with a cleaning tool, a fully contaminated core can be cleaned in under 30 seconds. Only metallic particles are removed from the filter and these can be easily disposed of. There are no dirty cartridges!
