Impressive filtration capacity! Microfiltration filters by SMK Japan|Implementation case study in Thailand

30/06/2023
Toshikazu Watabe
Director

Keeping cutting fluids and the work environment clean is a perpetual challenge at sites where machine tools are used. While there are many filtration systems that claim to provide high-precision filtration and maintenance-free operation, which one should we choose...? In this article, “YKT “, a specialized trading company that has seen equipment for all kinds of factory environments, introduces a product that boasts filtration capabilities that is impressive.



What is the microfiltration filter "FWC" with a completely new structure?

The “FWC“ is microfiltration filter with "W coupler method" and "case integrated structure", developed by Sun Maintenance Koki Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as SMK).

Features of the FWC microfiltration filter
◎ High filtration capacity!
◎ Captures fine sludge of 3㎛ or less without leaving any residue
◎ Compatible with both oil-based and water-soluble liquids
◎ Quickly completes filtration in a single pass
◎ Easy and clean by replacing the entire case
◎ No need for maintenance such as sludge cleaning



The difference in filtration capacity is obvious!

5-10 minutes after collecting the filtered liquid in a cup

Immediately after filtration, the both liquids look clear no matter which filter is used, but with a general filtration filter, fine sludge suspended in the liquid settle at the bottom of the cup over time. In contrast, when FWC is used, no sedimentation is seen even after a long period of time. This confirms that even the finest sludge has been collected.


Case study | The level is different from conventional filtration equipment!
Eliminates the need for tank cleaning and prevents machine breakdowns

IWATA TOOL (THAILAND) CO., LTD.
Product installed: SMK microfiltration equipment SGL-2
Business Outline: A Thai subsidiary of cutting tool manufacturer Iwata Tool Co., Ltd. The company manufactures high-performance drills full of originality, including the “Toglon ® Hard Long Drill”, a drill for deep hole drilling of high-hardness materials.
Machines used: CNC tool grinder by Rollomatic of Switzerland, etc.


Voice of customer


Hidehito Otsuka / Production Manager
"We were concerned that carbide sludge generated from drill manufacturing would damage expensive machines. After using the demo unit for about a week, we realized the significantly higher level of filtration capability compared to conventional filtration equipment and decided to make a purchase. The mobile filtration equipment SGL with FWC filter is used as a complement to the existing filtration equipment installed in each machine. Being mobile, this single unit can be used on all machines in sequence, which is not only convenient, but we feel it is highly cost-effective. The ability to replace filters by the entire case means the handling is clean, which is a significant advantage. Moreover, the continuous processing during filter replacement has improved productivity.”


Before the implementation...
・Clean the grinding oil tanks 1-2 times a year
・All machines were stopped while cleaning the tank
・Carbide sludge can cause machine failure
・Steel tanks are corroded by sludge
・There were concerns about the burden on workers and health hazards


With the implementation of SMK filtration...
No sludge buildup and no need to clean tanks!
No need to stop the machines for cleaning
Keep the machines clean and prevent problems
The steel tanks stay clean and last longer
Easy filter replacement! Clean work environment


To our customers in Thailand|Please try the demo unit first to see the effect

“YKT” is the distributor of SMK products in Thailand. In addition to the mobile SGL series, we also offer a lineup of products equipped with the “FWC” microfiltration filter. There is also a service where a recycling company collects used filters, disassemble them, and purchase sludge (rare metals). We will provide details along with a filtration test using a demo unit.
