Filter Systems for metallographic sample preparation

Request a quote

During cutting, various residual materials are produced from the specimen (chips) and from the cut-off wheel (wear/tear). To prevent these residual materials from entering the cooling water / waste water system or the pump mechanism, the use of filter systems is required. A suitable filter system with the correct mesh size, filter material and dimension has a significant influence on the cleanliness of the coolant.

Product Advantages

Various QPREP filter systems for different cut-off machines, from precision machines to floor standing machines.
QPREP filter systems protect the cutting machine and thus increase its lifetime.
The different mesh sizes of the filters offer an applicationoriented selection of the appropriate filter system for the corresponding recirculating cooling unit.

Recommended applications

The use of a filter system keeps the coolant significantly longer clean and prevents damage to the pump and machine.
