Vomat is showcasing a cross-section of its high-performance filtration technology, including its FA machine series. Vomat filters are said to be capable of filtering the latest MWF generations reliably and cost efficiently. Due to its custom high-performance precoat filters, full-flow filtration enables 100% separation of dirty and clean oil. In this way, the system permanently supplies clean oil in NAS 7 quality (3-5 μm) to the grinding system, according to the company.

Vomat systems are designed to be energy efficient, as they filter and flush according to demand. This means that the backwash cycles are controlled depending on the degree of contamination of the filter elements.

Steven Lowery, executive vice president from Oelheld U.S. Inc., says, “The on-demand filtration of the oil in combination with the coordinated filter cleaning brings many advantages to the tool manufacturer. It also means that less power or energy is consumed. Likewise, the service life of the individual filter elements is increased, and the cooling lubricant can remain in the system longer. In addition, Vomat systems are designed to add as little heat as possible to the media, which in turn requires less cooling power.”

Vomat offers a range of options on the standard platform of the FA machine series, for example, to optimally integrate filtration technology into individual circumstances. The spectrum ranges from small, standalone systems to large-scale industrial central systems.
