Applications:
These are ideal solutions to separate solid particles from industrial liquids and corrosive and alkaline fluids.

Learn More

FilterMaster

FilterMaster, Conveyor Systems, Custom Conveyor Systems, Conveyor Integration, Types of Conveyor Systems, Parts of a Conveyer

FilterMaster

FilterMaster is a hybrid conveyor system consisting of drum drag-out and hinged belt conveyors that can handle large chips and sludge. The self-cleaning rotating drum of MC3’s drum-style filters prevents minute contaminants from entering the coolant tank, with filtration adjusted according to the filter media used.

Applications:
These are ideal for any chip removal application that requires a coolant filtration system.

Learn More

Gravity Bed Filter Conveyor

Gravity Bed Filter Conveyor, Conveyor Systems, Custom Conveyor Systems, Conveyor Integration, Types of Conveyor Systems, Parts of a Conveyer

Gravity Bed Filter

Ideal for removing light metal fines that result from honing and grinding, this type uses a filtration process with gravity settling to remove contaminants such as swarf and metal chips. It can be modified for multi-stage filtration and uses automatic advancement of filtration media roll which can be varied for differing filtration needs.

Applications:
These are ideal for filtering light metal fines from grinding, honing, and Swiss-type screw machines.

Learn More

Vacuum Filter Conveyor
