Deep Bed Gravity Filter Offers Operating Advantages

Sept. 3, 2014
Eriez HydroFlow introduced the Deep Bed Gravity Filter.

Eriez HydroFlow introduced the Deep Bed Gravity Filter, a rolled media gravity bed filter. The filter design offers long lead-in and flow-out of disposable media to eliminate dirty coolant by-pass around media. Features include wide sealing edges with heavy duty chain to secure side seals, deep bed to provide additional head to force liquid through media and heavy hot-rolled steel bar flights with flat edge to maintain media seal and ensure proper media tracking and advance.

Heavy-duty construction prevents bed flexing, welds cracking or structural failures.  For maintenance, flushing and cleaning, the gasket and bolted cleanout port are positioned at the side of the clean tank.

Electrical controls, with relays, push buttons and press-to-test pilot lights included allow simple startup of pumps and conveyor and provide a constant visual of coolant tank levels, pump pressures and coolant temperature. Heavy-duty chain and flight deep bed mechanical conveyors ensure maximum conveyor uptime for the continuous removal of swarf and solids contaminant.

A variety of optional equipment is offered to complement Deep Bed Gravity Filters, including a Magnetic Coolant Cleaner, Cartridge Filters, Recirculation Pumps and Drop-in Style Coil Chillers. Deep Bed Gravity Filters are typically utilized for CNC grinding applications and achieve an average clarity level of 20-30 microns with flows up to 90 gpm.
