Sump-side filtration is one of the two options a plant can use to clean the coolant in stand alone machines without always dumping the fluid and without retrofitting a larger filtration system as a central facility. The two options are:
• Remote recovery modules with transporters carrying the coolant to and from the machine.
• Sump-side filtration.
Remote recovery modules are filtration systems designed to be positioned in a remote area. The remote module unit receives dirty metalworking fluid from the machines via transporters or pipe lines. The coolant is cleaned with an efficient cleaning device and held in a clean liquid tank for another transport or separate pipe line to send it back to the machines. This works well when there is space and money available for transporters. The module can clean the coolant off-line to level of clarity acceptable to the operations. It is like a remove and repair maintenance program.
Sump-side filtration is much closer to the machines. Instead of the coolant going to the filter the filter goes to the coolant. A sump-side unit moves to the side of the machine and with hoses removes the coolant, cleans it and immediately returns it to the machine. There is no swapping of batches as in the remote unit.
Both systems have advantages and each fits certain plant conditions better than the other.
Harrigan Solutions understands these conditions and can offer advice on when to use sump-side filtration. We offer engineering help on how to select the best option to fit your needs. We sell or rent new and used sump-side filtration units depending upon the customers economical goals. Harrigan Solutions offers service programs where technicians can operate the cleaning schedule or service the equipment for customers who do not have the staff to cover this area.

SUMP-SIDE FILTRATION IS A VIABLE OPTION IF THERE IS NO ROOM OR MONEY FOR A REMOTE MODULE
