YOUR ADVANTAGES WITH FAUDI VACUUM BELT FILTERS

High economic efficiency

With our vacuum filters, you can increase the cost-benefit efficiency of your production, for example by increasing the quality and service life of your cooling lubricants. The minimised operating and maintenance costs also contribute to the cost-effectiveness of our products.

High quality

Our vacuum belt filters fulfil strict quality standards. Thanks to the solid and innovative design of the inner workings, you get a very low-wear system. And we also place the highest demands on our service for you.

High level of customisability

We customise our vacuum filters for you. They are suitable for a wide range of filtration tasks. Thanks to the modular series and their combination, we can realise system capacities from 100 l/min up to >20,000 l/min.

How do our vacuum
filters work?

Filtration

The contaminated coolant lubricant is conveyed from the machine tool or machine tools via the connecting pipelines into the dirt tank of the vacuum filter. The dirt tank is the upper part of the vacuum filter and is seperated from the vacuum chamber by a perforated plate or slotted sieve layer on which the filter fleece, or endless belt is placed. By means of a filter and a supply pump, which is connected to the vacuum chamber and generates a corresponding vacuum, the contaminated cooling lubricant is sucked through the filter medium into the vacuum chamber and cleaned in the process At the same time, the filter and supply pump convey the previously cleaned coolant lubricant from the vacuum chamber back to the machine tool. Thereby a partial flow of the supply line is used to fill the compensation tank with cleaned coolant lubricant in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply line to the machine tools when regeneration is pending.

Regeneration

Depending on the machining process, regeneration of the filter is triggered when the preset negative pressure in the vacuum chamber or a preset filtration time is reached. By opening the butterfly valve in the bypass line between the equalisation tank and the vacuum chamber, clean cooling lubricant is fed from the equalisation tank into the vacuum chamber. This means that the supply of cleaned cooling lubricant is not interrupted even during regeneration. The contaminated fleece or endless belt, together with the filter cake, is carefully removed from the filter by scraper bars running around the filter. The design and construction of the vacuum filter ensures at all times that there is no relative movement between the filter medium and the rotating scraper bars that could damage the belt. The dirt is then separated from the filter medium at the discharge by scrapers and discharged from the system into containers provided by the customer. While the used fleece is wound up by the fleece winding device after the dirt has been scraped off, the endless belt is returned to the system.
