FG Metal edge filters for industrial parts cleaning

The demands placed on cleaning processes with regard to quality and cleanliness of the surface as well as residual dirt and particle values are constantly increasing. In the production of complex parts in production of a well-known German manufacturer of fittings, contamination by oil and chips in solvent systems lead to considerable problems.

The use of automatic backflushing filters or bag filters reduces coarse contamination considerably. This avoids early cleaning efforts and quality losses in the process flow. Optimally matched filtration and separation systems ensure high availabilityof the cleaning liquids with a high degree of cleanliness – with maximum economyand environmental compatibility as well as shorter process times.

Challenge

  • Delivery of a new dissolvent cleaning system with modified alcohol for the cleaning of the metal parts from CNC controlled machines
  • For each cleaning batch 10 kg of brass chips need to be cleaned and evacuated dryly, so they can be reused directly
  • Cleaning capacity: 12 iron-barred boxes/charge with a load of up to 800 kg
  • A fully automatic feeding system shall supply the system with so called adapters to handle the 12 iron-barred boxes
  • The dissolvent cleaning system shall provide optimal and efficient results even in 3 shift work and for a high variety of complex parts

Technical data of the filtration system

  • Volume flow: 200 l/min
  • Filtration rate: 200 µm
  • Operating pressure of the vacuum: 200 mbar

Solution statement

  • Due to the load-chips up to 10 kg per charge be employed a metal edge filter with a filter fineness of 200µm.
  • The chips would be automatically introduced in two vacuum-tight containers
  • The new filter system is integrated into the system
  • Removable basket strainer elements for removing the dried chips
  • Use a bag fine filter for the filtration of the remaining chips

Customer value

  • The automatic pre-filtration facilitates up to 90% longer maintenance intervals
  • Reduction of storage costs
  • Increase of the lifetime of the dissolvent cleaning system during 3 shift work without process interruption
  • High cost reduction thanks to saving on filter bags
  • Time & cost savings thanks to the possibility of direct chips reuse
  • Maximization of the cleaning system life time
