Model FC-300 Grinding Oil Filtration System
Description
The Rush Model FC-300 Grinding Oil Filtration System filters grinding oils to one micron with edge filtration technology. Designed to integrate with most grinding, lapping and honing machines in use today, the FC-300 System provides continuous filtration, automatic back flush and clean oil on demand to your machines. An optional cooling system can be incorporated to ensure optimal grinding oil temperature. Benefits and Features of the Rush Model FC-300 Grinding Oil Filtration System: • Provides one micron particle filtration for improved surface finish • Extends the life of grinding oil and wheels. • Increases grinding efficiencies and reduces cycle times • Recovers materials for reclamation • Reduces machine maintenance • Filter element life expectancy of approximately 15,000 hours • Customized systems designed to fit your machines and shop floor layout • Single and multiple machine configurations available • Compatible with mineral and synthetic oils • Recommended viscosity range: 37 - 58 SUS (3.6 - 10cSt) at 100°F • Systems available for use with both carbide and HSS
