Candle Filter - 1 Micron Filtration

PRAB Candle Filter for 1 Micron FiltrationFine Particulate Oil and Coolant Filtration

  • Engineered for oil filtration in EDM, tungsten carbide tool grinding, honing machine, and bearing grinding applications.
  • Membrane wafers capture grinding swarf at 1 micron.
  • Automatic air pressure back flush cycle reduces labor costs and increases process efficiency.
  • Swarf is purged into an external receptacle for easy collection and recycling.

 

How It Works

The PRAB Candle Filter is specifically engineered to meet the challenges of efficiently removing fine particulate from spent oil in Honing and EDM applications and Tungsten carbide tool and steel ball grinding applications. This new filter uses media in a long cylinder that houses over 10,000 thin membrane wafers. These membranes effectively and consistently capture grinding swarf at 1 micron. These dependable filters operate with virtually no down time for maintenance. The self-cleaning air driven backwash system automatically clears the filter of dirt and debris allowing the Candle Filter to perform reliably under large production runs.
