RUSH MODEL FC-300-31300 (3 VESSEL) GRINDING FLUID FILTRATION

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:

The Rush FC-300 Series Grinding Fluid Filtration Systems filter grinding
oils to a one micron particle size and water-based fluids to a five micron
(nominal) particle size using edge filtration technology.
Designed to integrate with most grinding, lapping and honing machines in
use today, the FC-300 systems provide continuous filtration, automatic bac
k
flush, and clean fluid on demand to your machines.
An optional cooling system can be incorporated to ensure a consistent
grinding fluid temerature.
The Rush FC-300 Series Filtration filter grinding fluids (oil and water)
with a fully automatic process that eliminates the need to change
cartridge filters or clean settling tanks.
Dirty grinding fluid is discharged from the grinding machine into the
dirty fluid tank. The dirty fluid is pumped through the edge filtration
elements in the filer vessel, and the filtered fluid flows into the clean
fluid tank. The clean fluid is pumped to the grinding machine upon demand
,
at the required pressure and volume. At periodic intervals, the edge
filtration elements are automatically cleaned by a rapid flush cycle. The
sludge is deposited in the cloth lined sludge basker and the excess fluid
drains into the dirty fluid tank. On multi-vessel systems, vessels are
automatically back flushed individually to aid in providing a constant
supply of clean fluid during the regeneration cycle.
Clean fluid is always availale for the grinding machine, even during
the back flush cycle
