Filter for grinding machine

As a manufacturer of precision grinding machines, we know the importance of a precise, dependable coolant supply.

After a long period of research and testing, we selected diatomaceous earth (DE) as the filter media for our line of automatic coolant delivery/filtration systems.

DE consists of skeletal remains of microscopic aquatic organisms with sizes varying from 10 to 200 microns in diameter. It's natural structure is very intricate with
sub-micron pores on the surface. Compared to conventional filter media, with plain and even surfaces, DE particles have a very large surface area in relation to their overall size. DE coated candles in ITM Filter Systems enable filtration of particles as small as 5 microns versus 20 microns with conventional systems.

DE is being used as a filter media in the beverage and water cleaning industries and has proved it's superiority and safety. Properly handled, DE in not hazardous to the health.
