Glass Grinding Swarf

It is very important for glass fabricators to have an effective glass grinding swarf filtration and separation system. Glass grinding swarf can wreak havoc on glass fabrication equipment, causing increased maintenance costs, unplanned downtime, decreased production, and decreased equipment life. Not only does glass grinding swarf cause excessive wear on moving parts, but it can settle throughout your fabrication and processing system and over time completely clog pipes. Thus, glass grinding swarf must be filtered and separated out of the grinding coolant.

Settling tanks, cartridge type filters, indexing paper, or a filter press are some older ways of filtering glass grinding swarf from the coolant. These systems are costly to operate, and generate additional labor costs and waste streams and expenses that can be greater problems than the solids alone. Centrifugal filtration and separation is the most efficient and cost-effective method to separate glass grinding swarf from the coolant.

The CentraSep® centrifuge offers a glass grinding swarf filtration system that greatly reduces the regular maintenance needed for typical glass grinding swarf removal processes. By properly filtering and separating glass grinding swarf, you can produce predictable grinding wheel / belt / drill life, as well as superior edge quality, and maintain a dependable production output by eliminating downtime.

The first CentraSep® glass swarf / glass grinding coolant filtration and separation centrifuge was installed in 2000 on a glass grinding line. Since that time, the CentraSep centrifuge has become the preferred solution for filtering and separating all types of glass grinding coolant and is considered part of the “Best Practices” of the leading glass fabrication facilities across the globe. Today, there are CentraSep glass grinding coolant filtration and separation systems in 18 countries, and Trucent offers custom turnkey glass grinding coolant filtration systems for rapid installation, that deliver simplicity, performance and reliability unrivaled in the filtration and separation industry.
