In modern manufacturing, particularly in tool and cutter grinding, the performance of your filtration system has a direct impact on tool life, productivity and cost. One such high-efficiency solution that has redefined coolant management is the Candle Filtration System, particularly when engineered for One Micron Candle Filtration.

This advanced system enables ultra-fine separation of contaminants from coolant or cutting oil, making it an indispensable asset for shops working with carbide, HSS and other precision components. But what exactly makes it the preferred choice for manufacturers?

How Candle Filtration Works

A Candle Filtration System uses replaceable filter candles composed of thousands of wafer-thin discs. These candles trap contaminants as the dirty oil passes from the outer diameter (OD) to the inner diameter (ID) of the candle, achieving One Micron filtration. Unlike standard filtration setups, these candles can automatically backwash themselves, thereby maintaining a long operational life and reducing the need for manual maintenance.

In high-precision machining, such as carbide filtration system applications, this level of particle removal is essential for preserving oil quality, ensuring tool accuracy and maximising machine uptime.

Why It’s Ideal for Coolant Filtration

1. Ultra-Fine Filtration for Carbide Tool Grinding Operation

The One Micron Candle Filtration System is engineered for carbide tool and cutter grinding where even microscopic particles can damage the machine or degrade finish quality.

2. Extended Oil Life

By filtering down to one micron, oil quality is retained longer, reducing the frequency of oil changes and cutting down on operational costs.

3. Reduced Maintenance and Downtime

Backwashing candles and automatic oil suction mechanisms minimize operator intervention and allow uninterrupted machine operation even during backwash cycles.

4. Zero consumable cost

The candles have a supremely high life of about 9,000-15,000 working hours, upto which they do not have to be replaced. 

5. Optimized Machine Performance

Less abrasive wear means less frequent dressing of the grinding wheel, consistent thermal conditions and a better surface finish critical in tools requiring tight tolerances.

Trusted for Carbide Filtration Systems and Beyond

This system has become the benchmark for carbide filtration system requirements not only because of its filtration accuracy but also due to its integration with shop-floor systems. When paired with chillers, mist extractors and chip conveyors, it evolves into a fully centralized filtration ecosystem supporting multiple machines.

Industries that rely on this setup include:

• Tool and Cutter Manufacturers
  
  
• Automotive and Auto OEMs
  
  
• Tool grinding machine manufacturers
