Coolant Filtration Applications by Process and Contaminant
Start with your industry, fluid and solids problem. Compare published application guides, then confirm flow, temperature, sump volume and discharge method before choosing a centrifuge.

Find the Application Closest to Your Process
Each guide starts with the contamination generated by the process, explains the operating consequences, and identifies the information needed for model selection. Choose the nearest application even if your exact machine type is not listed.

Start with What Is Entering the Fluid
Industry names alone do not determine separation performance. Particle density and size distribution, fluid viscosity, temperature, solids generation and the required result all affect whether centrifugal separation is appropriate.
Fines remain suspended
Review the general guide when small chips or metallic fines block nozzles, settle slowly, or recirculate through the machine.
Fines removal from coolant →Cold heading oil darkens quickly
Start with the fastener application when phosphate coating residue and iron fines build sludge in neat oil.
Review cold heading conditions →Coolant carries fine swarf
Use the grinding guide for fine metallic contamination, surface-quality concerns and sump turnover questions.
Review grinding coolant →Abrasive and carrier need control
Use the sapphire guide when recovery decisions must balance abrasive value, slurry consistency and product quality.

Where Centrifugal Separation Fits—and Where It Needs Review
Suspended solids with a useful density difference
- Metal fines, swarf, scale or compatible mineral solids
- A fluid circuit with measurable flow and sump volume
- A practical route for separated fluid and collected solids
- A defined cleaning or automatic discharge routine
Not every contaminant behaves the same way
- Very low-density, colloidal or dissolved contamination
- Stable emulsions or chemistry problems rather than solids loading
- Highly variable viscosity, temperature or incoming solids
- A requirement for an absolute filtration rating without validation
A coolant centrifuge is not a universal substitute for every filter. Some processes use centrifugal separation as a primary solids-removal step; others require a polishing filter, oil skimmer, magnetic separator or fluid-condition control alongside it.
04 · Discharge method
Match Solids Handling to the Production Routine
The application determines not only the centrifuge size but also how collected solids should leave the system. Base the decision on continuity, solids per shift, safe access and available operator time.
Automatic sludge discharge
Use the automatic series as the starting point when the line should continue operating while the centrifuge manages repeated solids discharge cycles.
View automatic discharge series →Manual solids removal
Use the VC-30 series when a compact circuit has a manageable solids load and the separator can be stopped, isolated and cleaned at a planned interval.

Two Automatic Models for Common Sizing Directions
These models are useful reference points, not automatic recommendations. Final selection still depends on fluid properties, contamination, required turnover, solids capacity and installation conditions.
60 L/min · 6,500 G · 2 L solids
A starting point for a single machine or compact circuit where high centrifugal force is the main selection direction.
View VC-600 →150 L/min · 1,860 G · 8 L solids
A starting point for multiple machines or a central sump where circulation flow and greater solids capacity are the priority.
View VC-1500 →Nominal flow is a model rating, not a guaranteed commissioned flow for every liquid. Confirm viscosity, temperature, pipe loss and the separation target before ordering.

Six Inputs Turn an Industry Page into a Real Selection
Type and condition
Identify neat oil, water-miscible coolant, slurry or another process fluid, including concentration where relevant.
Material and loading
Describe the contaminant and estimate solids generated per shift or current cleaning interval.
Required circulation
Provide current pump flow, number of machines, sump volume and desired turnover.
Normal and maximum
Temperature changes viscosity and may determine the required machine configuration.
Continuous or planned stop
Confirm whether manual cleaning can fit production or automatic discharge is required.
Space, voltage and return path
Confirm footprint, service access, electrical supply and how separated fluid returns to the sump.
