SELF-CLEANING DRUM FILTRATION SYSTEM-FAT SERIES

The FAT series is a self-cleaning rotary drum filtration system designed for the separation and removal of magnetic or non-magnetic particles from neat oils or emulsions, specifically designed for those plants that require high capacity solid / liquid separation systems.
It is available in different models capable of handling up to 500 l / min of neat oil and 1000 l / min of emulsion, with a filtration system completely customizable, and allows the differentiated disposal of the waste without the use of consumable filtration materials

Moreover, the drum filtering cylinder is self-cleaning, as it is equipped with a system of washing nozzles, thus allowing the maintenance reduction of the equipment itself.
To solve the problem of the filtration of the cooling lubricants and, thus, maximize the productivity of the same manufacturing process, in addition to the standard production models, SCC is able to provide customized solutions.

Application

  • Beverage industries: distilleries, cellars, breweries, etc.
  • Food industries

Operation

SCC funzionamento filtro autopulenteThe polluted liquid is conveyed inside the purification system by pumps in the sleeve (b) placed above the filter and from here, thanks to the principle of communicating vessels of archimedes, it crosses the wire mesh placed on the rotary drum (a) passing through the drum and depositing the pollutant particles which contains on the outer side of the drum mesh itself. Until the layer of polluting particles deposited on the filter mesh is able to allow the constant flow of liquid passing through the drum, the levels remain equal and the dirty liquid coming from the outside continues to cross the metallic mesh, purifying itself from impurities.
As the filter mesh gradually gets dirty, when the coolant reaches the maximum internal level allowed, a self-cleaning cycle is started automatically. In fact n° 2 sensor levels, installed into the fat system and duly protected by dirt to prevent any signal alteration, send  a command to the dredging system (d) and the drum that starts to rotate in order to expose a new clean portion of the wire mesh so that to restore the balance of the liquids.

After the rotation phase, the filter mesh section clogged with the sludge is no longer immersed in the liquid and is in a stand-by position, while a double cleaning system (c – e) cleans it perfectly and make it permeable again for the subsequent filtration cycle.

The sludge that detaches from the drum mesh is gathered at the bottom of the purification system, where a dredging system (d) discharge the same outside. Each dredger before returning into the filtration cycle is in turn cleaned up by a system of cleaning (f) so ensuring its perfect operation.

Operation

Magnetico funzionamento

The contaminated coolant, conveyed inside the separator by gravity or through pumps via a sleeve (F) or through a flow-breaking chamber (G), passes through one nozzle (E) and the group of rotating magnetic discs (A) (H), where the magnetic particles are captured. These are hence removed by a special scraping – blade, in AISI 304, (B) conveying the sludge to the variable inclination chute (C) so allowing to control the recovery of liquids.

The clean liquid passes into the tank (D) and subsequently, depending on its use, is pumped in back to the machine tool by a dedicated pump. The magnetic disc separation system does not use consumable filter media and enables an easy differentiated disposal of the recovered sludge.

Technical features

Structure in 304 or 316 stainless steel. The magnetic grid in standard configuration is made up of 5 magnetic cylindrical bars. Inside the cylinders, Ferrite or NdFeB magnets can be inserted depending to the specific need and the required filtering capacity. The magnetic cylinders can be fixed directly on customer supports by means of the threaded arrangement at the ends of the same, or they can be mounted in series or grid configuration to obtain different filtration capacity.

Maintenance

The simple construction and the applied materials make the permanent magnetic separator almost maintenance-free. The cleaning operations consist in slipping the single magnetic bar from its seat for the removal and subsequent disposal of the polluting sludge.

MACHINE TOOL OIL SEPARATORS DAN SERIS – DAD SERIES

SCC designs and produces two types of oil separators for the treatment of oily emulsions and coolants, capable of separating oil in continuous cycle, compact, versatile and of high quality, ensuring many advantages both economically and environmentally. The use of these systems allows to evacuate in a short time only extraneous oils from the machining process liquid, so minimizing the scrap volumes to be removed. This process allows the reduction of bacterial charges and the complete elimination of smokes and foul odors caused by the presence of fungi/light products floating in the tanks of the machine tools, so enabling to preserve the coolants quality longer.

SCC oil separators, thanks to their design and high quality materials, have the prerogative of being versatile. In fact, within a production process, the same system can be used for several machine tools, guaranteeing different advantages.

They can also be used on any type of tank or basin, even in the presence of basin that are underground or with limited accessibility.

In order to effectively respond to every need for oil separation, SCC offers two different types of oil separators:
oil separators belt version –  DAN SERIES
oil separators disc version – DAD SERIES
Each series is available in various models to best solve the problem of the pollution of coolants and, consequently, obtain:

  • A significant reduction in costs
  • The reduction of the frequency of renewal or reinstatement of the emulsions / cooling lubricants
  • The reduction of disposal costs
  • Maggiori tempi di funzionamento degli impianti
  • More plant operation time
  • No need for additional filtration material (additives, etc.)
  • Compliance with environmental regulations in force

In addition to these standard products, SCC is able to supply custom-made oil separators and on specific client requirements. The SCC oil separators can be completely integrated with the self-cleaning drum systems of our production.

Application

Our series of oil separators is generally used in a wide range of sectors, such as the automotive, chemical, paper and steel industries, heat treatment departments, die-casting and aluminum foundries, the petrochemical mechanical industry and refinery service stations, train and aircraft repair companies as well as the food industry.

Application

disoleatori SCC Funzionamento

The disc / belt (A) is immersed into the liquid and through its rotation the pollutants adhere to its surface and are dragged out.
In its rotation, the disc / belt meets two scrapers (B) fitted with a rubber rim which remove everything that stuck to it and convey the same outside through proper exit ducts (C). The oil separator can be supplied complete with one electrical control panel with the possibility of setting up temporized operating cycles.

Features

  • Compact equipment layout, limited weight and small overall dimensions
  • Versatility, oil separator suitable for any  type of machine tool
  • Easily transferable between machining workstations

  • Reduced disposal costs and flora bacteria
  • Ease of use and reduced cleaning times
  • Manual or automatic mode of operation

Maintenance

all SCC detectors are distinguished not only for their versatility, but also for their easy maintenance.
The extremely simplified design of these products means that maintenance is limited to the periodic inspection of scrapers, subject to wear, and to the cleaning of the exhaust ducts to keep the entire oil separation system efficient and highly performing.
