Autofiltrex Magnetic Filter
Automated magnetic filtration system with waste/fluid reclaim
Magnetic filtration or magnetic coolant separation is a rapid payback investment which offers a wealth of benefits to your process.
Magnetic Filters Give Your Business the Cutting Edge
Magnetic CNC Filters Reduce Operating Costs
Cleaner, Longer Lasting Fluids
Magnetic coolant filters remove almost 100% of ferrous particles, and even remove particles smaller than 1 micron. Traditional barrier or media filters typically allow smaller particles to circulate, which affects the fluid effectiveness and means regular expensive fluid changes. Dirty fluids can also act as a breeding ground for bacteria, which degrades the fluid and puts operatives at risk of exposure.
Reduced Expenditure on Consumable Filters
Magnetic filters can either replace, or be used in conjunction with media filters. Either way, it's high performance extraction significantly reduces the consumption of disposable filter media such as paper, bands, cartridges, and socks.
Minimal Fluid Loss
A significant amount of fluid is lost during the disposal of traditional media filters. With magnetic filters however, contamination is removed from the filter as a semi-dry cake, meaning that virtually all the residue fluid can be recovered.
Reduced Waste Disposal
The ferrous waste collected by the magnetic filter can be recycled, thereby eliminating expensive specialist disposal service costs.
Minimal Running Costs
Manually cleaned magnetic filters require no additional power or consumable parts in their day-to-day operation. Automated cleaning versions require small amounts of power but no other consumable parts.
Continuous 24/7 operation
Automated magnetic filters are perfect for large volume continuous processes. Once set up, they can run unmanned and without any need for stoppages or downtime.
Fluid Protection
Other media based fine particle filtration can strip fluids of anti-foaming and anti-bacterial properties. Magnetic filters, on the other hand, enable sub-micron performance without affecting the properties, thereby reducing replacement cycle times.
Rapid Return on Investment
Magnetic filtration can be a driving force in cost reduction or continuous improvement programmes. They offer distinct cost saving benefits resulting in a rapid return on investment, often within weeks.
Magnetic Filters Reduce Environmental Impact
- Reduced Waste
Magnetic filters make a positive contribution to the environment by reducing the usage of disposable filters such as paper, bags or cartridges. By ensuring industrial fluids such as coolants, oils and wash solutions are clean, their usage is minimised and disposal vastly reduced. Magnetic system filters are ideal for companies who seek ISO14001 approval.
- Waste Can be Recycled
Magnetic CNC filters enable ferrous particles to be separated from the fluid, and the filtration media and can be recycled. This is impossible with media filters because contamination sticks to the filter media and has to be disposed of as a sludge or ferrous mud or cake, often with a hazardous classification or requiring specialist disposal.

Magnetic Filters Reduce Health and Safety Risks
- Complies with COSSH & HSE Guidelines
Magnetic coolant or cutting fluid filters make a major contribution to promoting safe handling of metalworking fluids. Cleaner fluids reduce the risk of human contact with metal fines thereby reducing the risk of cuts, abrasions and dermatitis.
- Reduce Microbial Development
Magnetic filtration does not strip anti-bacterial properties from fluids, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial development. Ferrous contamination in fluids can act as a breeding ground for bacteria, therefore maintaining clean, polished fluids considerably reduces the risk of human contact with such bacteria.
- Automated Operation & Cleaning
Our automated filtration systems remove the need for operators to come into contact with contaminated fluids.
