One Micron Candle Filtration for High-Performance Carbide Grinding
One Micron Candle Filtration System
The One Micron Candle Filtration System is a cutting-edge solution designed for industries requiring precise filtration of contaminants. It ensures enhanced tool life, minimal maintenance and improved overall productivity by delivering top-notch filtration This is a premium solution that is cleverly designed for use with Carbide Tool & Cutter Grinding Machines to give you the following benefits.
Key Features:
- Huge reduction in cost per tool manufactured.
- The sludge is automatically removed, made oil free and ready for sale.
- LEX Centralized Filtration System and chiller for multiple machines help save your precious shop floor space.
Candle filtration system enables
- Retention of oil quality for a very long time – less cost spent on oil.
- Less wear and tear of moving parts of the machine – less downtime & lower cost on machine maintenance.
- Reduction in number of dressings of the grinding wheel– less cost per tool ground.
- Use of high cutting speeds and feed rates – higher productivity.
- Better surface finish and accuracy of tools – little or no rejection of tools.
- The machine grinds with coolant supply even during backwash-higher productivity.
Advantages and Features of using Candle Filtration
Each filter candle is composed of thousands of special thin wafers. When dirty oil passes from OD to ID of the candle, carbide particles are filtered
Automatic oil suction mechanism removes oil from the sludge basket, thus reducing wastage of oil and leaving carbide sludge ready for sale.
Replaceable filter candle lasts between 9,000 to 15,000 working hours (when used with recommended moisture-free oils)
Optionals
Magnetic Drum Separator
Magnetic Drum Separator removes ferrous particles from the coolant. When used as a pre-filter option, life of the candle filter is enhanced
further.
Mist Extractor
Mist Extractor removes oil mist and provides healthy and safe shop-floor environment.
Chiller
Chiller ensures temperature stability of cutting oil.
Chip conveyor
Chip Conveyor is used for automatic movement of sludge to a desired location.

FAQs
Because carbide tool grinding generates ultra-fine particles, 1 µm filtration ensures longer tool life, cleaner coolant and better surface finish.
Each candle is made of thousands of thin wafers. Contaminated oil flows from the outer to inner diameter, trapping particles. The system includes automatic backwashing making the candles re-usable for multiple years.
Yes. The system is equipped with automatic backwashing to clean the candles and maintain performance.
Yes. Cleaner coolant significantly reduces wear on moving parts and grinding wheels, resulting in lower maintenance and higher productivity.
By improving oil life, reducing wheel dressing frequency and minimizing tool rejection, it significantly lowers the cost per tool manufactured.
