Efficient coolant filtration for maximum machine availability

In modern production environments, downtime is not an option. Machines and motors in machining and milling processes, in particular, must operate reliably and continuously – even under the most demanding conditions. A key factor for trouble-free operation is the reliable filtration of the coolant. This is precisely where the new Pi 214 duplex filter from Filtration Group Industrial comes in.

Why is a duplex filter indispensable?

When machining aluminum, fine chips are produced, which enter high-pressure pumps or tool spindles along with the coolant. Without efficient filtration, they can cause significant damage, accelerate wear, and ultimately lead to unplanned downtime.

Many manufacturers of machining and milling machines are already relying on filter technology from Filtration Group Industrial. The result: longer machine uptime, lower maintenance costs, and maximum process reliability.

Pi 214 – Stress-Free Milling in Continuous Operation

The new Pi 214 duplex filter was specially developed to continuously remove chips and dirt from coolants. Its key features:

  • No interruption of operation during filter changes: When one filter element becomes saturated, a single movement is all it takes. An ergonomically designed lever simply switches to the second filter – without stopping the machine.
  • Cleanable filter elements: The wire mesh elements can be cleaned and reused after removal. This saves costs and conserves resources.
  • Maximum operational reliability: Thanks to its flow-optimized design, the Pi 214 minimizes pressure losses, thus supporting highly efficient coolant processes.

The Pi 214 therefore enables true division of labor in continuous operation – reliably, cleanly, and economically.

Technical Highlights of the Pi 214

This dual-switching filter impresses with its compact design and numerous practical features:

  • Filter for in-line installation (threaded or SAE flange)
  • Nominal pressure up to 100 bar (2 million load cycles)
  • Material: GGG or carbon steel
  • One-handed operation thanks to an ergonomic changeover lever with lever lock and pressure equalization
  • Highly efficient PS filter elements (glass fiber, optional PulseShield technology)
  • Guaranteed separation rates according to ISO 16889
  • Available in 300 l and 450 l sizes
  • Optional: optical, electrical, or electronic maintenance indicators
  • High differential pressure stability and dirt-holding capacity
  • Minimal pressure losses due to optimized flow guidance

This makes the Pi 214 ideal for modern cooling lubricant and hydraulic systems where reliability and energy efficiency are paramount.

Easy Installation and Intuitive Maintenance

The Pi 214 is not only powerful but also exceptionally easy to maintain. The filter is preferably installed with the housing facing downwards, ensuring sufficient installation height for faster element replacement. Maintenance indicators – available in optical, electrical, or electronic versions – reliably provide information about the status of the currently active filter element.

During filter changes, the switching function ensures that one side of the filter is always active. Pressure equalization and the clear locking mechanism of the lever also make operation particularly safe and convenient.

 CONCLUSION: Maximum Process Reliability and Efficiency in Continuous Operation

With the Pi 214 duplex filter, Filtration Group Industrial offers a high-performance, robust, and practical filter system for all applications where downtime is not an option. The combination of efficient filtration, intuitive operation, and reliable switching technology ensures maximum machine availability – even over extended periods.
