Gravity bed filters provide a simple, reliable, and economic method of metalworking fluid filtration.  They use non-woven bulk paper roll filter media. The filter features a continuous mesh conveyor chain to support the filter paper and create a pool of liquid. As contaminants build on the paper and flow becomes restricted, the liquid level rises closing a float switch which causes the conveyor to advance fresh paper into service. Separated solid particles are discharged along with the used filter paper to a hopper.

Filtration Control Systems offers gravity bed filters with flow rates ranging from 10 to 100 gallons per minutes. Its very well suited to all kinds of metalworking fluids let it be conventional emulsions, semi synthetics or today’s modern new generation synthetic coolants.
