Simplicity of design, construction and operation...
CDF Coolant Management System.
|

|
At the outset, we established the following performance targets for the new CDF system: - Simplified operation
- Long-life filtration media
- Ease of Maintenance
- System solution with wide application versatility
- Two stage filtration efficiency with optional third stage
- Economical investment
- Flow rate capacities to 300 gpm plus

|
The Hennig CDF system is made up of: - Hinged conveyor belt that transports chips and acts as the first stage filter.
- Disc filters with permanent media provide 2nd stage filtration.
- Optional Chip Catch II...for removal of any fines clinging to the conveyor belt.
- Coolant tank
- Low and high pressure pumps
- Float switches, oil skimmers, controls...
|
Operational highlights
- Disc filtration - Innovative, patent pending disc filtration design provides for a direct coolant flow path into the coolant tank reservoir. Will filter a wide variety of materials, both in water-based and oil coolants.
- Continuous self-cleaning operation
- Efficient coolant backwash - No outside source such as stream or air is used.
- Hinged belt conveyor - The first stage of filtration system which catches and removes fine, broken or bushy chips.
|
Performance Features
- The rotating disc, with permanent media, provides the second stage of filtration.
- The long-life stainless steel screen is rated at 40 microns, consistent with industry standards. Other filtration levels are available.
- The strength of the filtration media allows it to handle both momentary or continuous heavy chip loads which can be a problem with nylon mesh, drum type filters.
|
Ease of maintenance - minimizes downtime
Media Replacement
- Easy access - Typically, 20 minutes is all that is needed to remove the access panel and disc, then install the new disc and secure the access panel.
- Replaced media can be disposed along with chips and does not become a hazardous waste.
- Disc design and construction keeps replacement media costs very reasonable.
- The disc seal was designed for quick (10 min.) replacement when required.

|
Continuous backwash design - effective self-cleaning action
- Backwash nozzles continuously spray filtered coolant against the stainless steel media removing fines and chips.
- As shown in the drawing above, the back wash nozzles are designed to be readily accessible for cleaning or replacement.
|
|
Low profile system design - accommodates smaller machines
As shown above, the combination of the external disc location and the coolant flow path through the lower half of the disc, allows a very low overall profile.

Affordable system
Pictures are sometimes worth a thousand words. As you can see our simplified system design not only enhances performance, it costs less to produce than many of the more complex competitive systems. That's another Hennig advantage ... savings in your pocket.

For more information...
With the following information, we can provide a proposal that will meet your specific requirements:
- Machine type and model
- Total coolant flow-including flushing
- Coolant pressure required
- Material being machined
- Chip volume
- Filtration performance needed (in microns)
|
All chip / coolant filtration systems require periodic maintenance... some more than others. "Maintenance-free" as some manufacturers describe their systems, sounds too much to us like the offer "free lunch." |
When you take a close look at our design and it's operation, we think you will agree that it represents the most straight forward solution for coolant filtration to reach the market. |
