Experts in fluid filtration Eclipse Magnetics recently worked with Pro Cut Tooling to provide a market-leading surface finish. Pro Cut Tooling is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and reconditioners of precision carbide cutting tools. Eclipse specified their Filtramag magnetic filtration system to help Pro Cut achieve high quality “mirror” finish and also provide some significant operational efficiencies. As part of Pro Cut’s continuous improvement policy, Eclipse engineers reviewed the filtration on their Walter Helitronic Power and ANCA RGX and WGX grinding machines. Ineffective filtration systems meant that high volumes of ferrous particles were being circulated in the oil. The build-up of contamination caused regular maintenance and adversely affected the product finish. Filtramag has also been instrumental in creating several operational and cost saving benefits at Pro Cut. Machine downtime has been reduced; prior to Filtramag each machine had to be cleaned on a weekly basis to remove particle build up from the grinding wheels and polishing heads. This process caused two hours of downtime. Fitting Filtramag means the cleaning process now takes place on a monthly basis during routine maintenance. Learn more at www.eclipsemagnetics.com
