What is the Pre-Filter for on my grinding machine and how does it work?

The nature of grinding applications means there are often larger swarf and dust particles that enter the extraction system. The pre-filter arrests these particles preventing them entering the Filtermist unit. This protects the internal workings of the unit, extends filter life, and reduces service intervals.

A Filtermist cyclone can be attached to the inlet of the Filtermist unit and the contaminated air will pass through it. The low-pressure area within the separator encourages the heavier particles to fall to its base where they can be easily removed.
