Contaminated coolant destroys expensive tooling, degrades product quality and drains budgets through recurring filtration costs. The Maggie Magnetic Separator provides fully automatic, self-cleaning magnetic filtration that captures sub-micron contaminants without disposable media.
Ferrous contamination creates operational problems that impact your bottom line. Acting like sandpaper on cutting tools, abrasive particles accelerate wear and force premature replacement. Research shows that coolant properties significantly impact tool life in machining operations. Particles embed in workpiece surfaces, creating defects requiring rework. Conventional filtration compounds these expenses through recurring media costs, labor and disposal fees.
The Maggie system represents a fundamental shift in coolant filtration strategy. Unlike conventional filters that trap particles in disposable media, this fully automatic magnetic separator captures ferrous contaminants through high-intensity magnetic attraction. The system operates continuously, removing sub-micron particles without operator intervention or consumable materials. Self-cleaning capability maintains performance without production interruptions or manual changeouts.
The magnetic coolant separator core operates at intensities exceeding 10,000 gauss, creating a powerful magnetic field that captures contaminants from large chips down to sub-micron particles. The Smart Drum purge system handles removal automatically.
When the core reaches capacity, the self-cleaning cycle scrapes particles into a collection chamber while filtered coolant continues flowing. This magnetic coolant filtration and separator technology operates independently of coolant chemistry, working equally well with water-based coolants, straight oils and synthetic fluids.
The system delivers measurable operational improvements:
Greater than 10,000 gauss magnetic core: Captures particles conventional filters miss, extending cutting tool life by removing abrasive contaminants that cause premature wear
Fully automatic operation: Eliminates labor requirements associated with filter monitoring and changeouts while maintaining consistent performance
Zero disposable media: Cuts recurring expenses for filter cartridges, disposal costs and environmental compliance requirements
Low energy consumption: Requires minimal electrical power compared to centrifugal or vacuum filtration systems
The magnetic separator delivers proven performance across multiple industrial machining applications:
CNC machining: Maintain coolant cleanliness to protect spindle bearings, extend tool life and preserve surface finish on precision components.
Grinding: Separate fine ferrous swarf before it damages grinding wheels or workpiece surfaces.
Industrial parts washing: Eliminate ferrous particles to prevent recontamination and extend wash solution life.
Polymer quench fluids: Remove scale and contamination that degrade quench performance.
The Maggie Magnetic Separator delivers the industry’s lowest 10-year total cost of ownership by eliminating recurring media expenses. The fully automatic system runs continuously without attention, freeing personnel for productive tasks. Through extended tool life, reduced coolant replacement and eliminated media costs, this investment pays for itself — many operations recover within 18 to 24 months.
