In times of rising energy and production costs, the efficiency of each individual process step becomes a crucial competitive factor. Especially in tool grinding technology, modern fine filtration can have a surprisingly large impact on productivity and profitability. The powerful, intelligent filter systems from the filter manufacturer Vomat in Treuen demonstrate that technical precision and economic benefit complement each other perfectly.
Modern grinding processes demand not only the highest precision but also maximum cost-effectiveness. An often underestimated lever in this regard is the quality of the coolant (KSS) used. The cleaner the medium can remain in the system for a long time, the more efficient the grinding process – and the lower the costs.
Vomat filter systems address this precisely. Through their full-flow process with 100% separation of dirty and clean oil, users grind continuously with KSS of consistent quality (< 5 µm particle size). This not only reduces scrap and rework but also protects machine components and tools – thus significantly lowering overall operating costs.
A crucial factor for cost-effectiveness is the fully automatic backflushing technology, which monitors the contamination level of each filter element individually. Backflushing only occurs when necessary – energy-efficient and wear-reducing. Meanwhile, all other filter modules continue to operate without interruption. This keeps the KSS supply constant and the production flow undisturbed.
VOMAT also scores points in terms of constant temperature control, maintenance, and energy costs: The precise regulation of KSS temperature within ± 0.2 K ensures process-safe conditions without excessive energy use.
Additionally, recycling concepts are in place, where grinding sludge can be collected and processed directly in the disposal company's container – saving disposal costs and conserving resources.
Steffen Strobel, Technical Sales Manager at Vomat: 'The result: longer service life, less maintenance, higher machine availability, and lower KSS consumption. For many companies, the investment in a VOMAT system pays off within a few years – a clear return on investment (ROI) that not only makes sense but also improves the entire process chain.'
