PROCESS MARKET: FILTRATION
VDF Cyclone Filtration System
The Nikuni VDF (Vortex Dynamic Filter) is a cyclonic filter, that requires no paper bags, cartridges or elements. It utilizes the geometry of the filter housing, varying velocity as fluid travels through the chamber, to knock-out particles and sludge from the flow stream.
The VDF will provide removal of 98% of particles 10 micron and above, when used on water based coolants at 2 bar pressure, in a single pass through the filter. It can also be applied to industrial filtration systems, depending on the type of material to be filtered. This unit does not work well with oil based or higher viscosity fluids.
Nikuni VDF Cyclone Filter
Models: 9 sizes (CL-10 up to CL-1000)
Materials: Stainless Steel, PVC available on sizes 30-100)
Flow Rate: 2.5 – 250 GPM
Nikuni has packaged these VDF units into 3 different assemblies that are perfect for the Machine Tool Coolant filtration industry. The C-CAT, C-Jaguar and NAX-CS-II progress from a basic manual unit, to a fully automatic deaign.
VDF units are ideal for Steel, Aluminum, Cast Iron, Powdered Metal, grind swarf (including grinding wheel grit) and a wide range of other metals that are heavier than water. They can deliver ROI when compaed to the cost of filter elements, maintenance time, machine down time, and coolant disposal costs.
VDF Coolant Filtration Systems
Versions: 3 (C-CAT, C-JAGUAR, NAX-CS-II)
Models: 6 sizes
Flow Rate: 9 GPM – 75 GPM
C-Cat System
C-CAT is a packaged coolant filtration system using the Nikuni VDF filter, a self-priming pump, sludge pot, and manual dump valve. Our most basic affordable system for general use.
C-Jaguar System
C-JAGUAR is a packaged coolant filtration system using the Nikuni VDF filter, a self-priming pump, sludge pot, sludge tank with cleanout rake, and PLC controlled automatic dump valve, and recycle loop to draw coolant periodically out of the sludge tank. The mid-priced option that meets most plant needs.
NAX-CS-II System
NAX-CS-II is a packaged coolant filtration system using the Nikuni VDF filter, a self-priming pump, sludge pot, sludge tank with automatic chip conveyor to customer supplied tote, PLC controlled automatic dump valve, and recycle loop to draw coolant periodically out of the sludge tank. The NAX-CS-II provides the maximum in hands-off removal of sludge from your high volume CNC machining centers.
LAX Coolant Sump Vacuum Units
The Nikuni LAX is a convenient way to provide regular maintenance on your machine coolant sumps, without shutting down the machine. Removing particles from the coolant will extend the life, and reduce the time between coolant change out, also reducing disposal cost. Once done, the vacuum feature will help dry out the removed chip cake, making for easy disposal and reuse of the filter bag.
The assembly includes a sturdy frame (on casters), bag filter tank, LASD series liquid/air pump, interconnecting hoses, and a 115V, 1 ph cable with plug. Filter bags are available in 20, 40 and 100 micron (3 each are included with a new unit).
VSC Coolant Chiller
Nikuni VSC3100 is a compact chiller for in-sump machine tool coolant applications. 300 W at 60 Hz, 115V power, it includes an automatic thermostat control with adjustable setting.
Enecom Cyver
High Pressure Machine Coolant and Filter systems.
The Enecom Cyver is a packaged assembly used for high-pressure machine tool coolant delivery. The Enecom Cyver uses a Variable Frequency Drive to control the pump speed to deliver the correct flow and pressure required for each cutting tool. The result is maximum efficiency, less power consumption, and less heat into the coolant. A Nikuni VDF cyclone filter is provided integral to the assembly.
Flow Rate: 10 GPM Max
Pressure: 1000 psi Max
Power: 3 phase, 230/460 V
