The Magnom field-effect fluid conditioner can remove ferrous (and other) contaminants down to less than 1um in size from a variety of fluids.
Fluid Conditioning Systems is a new company set up to develop the full potential of the Magnom field-effect fluid conditioner.
Getrag-Ford has already adopted Magnom technology on a deep hole drilling application.
The re-usable nature of Magnom has produced cartridge filter savings of GBP 40,000 per annum.
This was not the only benefit; down time has been reduced, surface finish improved, tool wear reduced and by fitting the Magnom on the suction side of the pump system a further GBP 30,000 a year has been saved on pump replacement.
Magnom is a revolutionary product comprising of a series of annular magnets and innovatively designed formed steel plates.
Through its unique patented design Magnom removes ferrous (and other) contaminant down to less than 1um from a variety of fluids.
This includes the smallest and most abrasive particles that are responsible for accelerating wear, reducing tool life and degrading surface finish.
Magnom is designed to allow a 100% pass of fluid through wide flow channels thus ensuring minimal pressure drop.
As the fluid flows through the highly focused field-effect areas, contaminants are drawn into special collection zones.
These zones hold significantly more contaminant than a conventional filter - without obstructing fluid flow or risking wash-off; combined with 100% scalability this enables long service intervals to be achieved.
When cleaning is required this can be carried out easily and the Magnom can be re-used.
Magnom has proved successful in a wide range of machining processes, including milling, grinding, honing, broaching, reaming, EDM and deep hole boring.
Applications are not limited to machining - broadly, the technology can be applied to any fluid (liquid or gas) process that is vulnerable to the damaging effects of ferrous contaminants.
Other examples include: transmission protection (racing cars, large industrial gearboxes for power generation, cement, paper, sugar and wind turbines); engine protection (from superbikes to heavy commercial vehicles and mining equipment); hydraulic system protection (servo valves, machine tools, high pressure systems); and pump protection.
FCS is committed to remaining at the cutting edge of fluid conditioning technology by adopting a process of continual improvement through innovation, in partnership with leading suppliers, distributors, industry peers and universities.
This, combined with a drive to reduce costs and improve the competitiveness of its customers should ensure continuing growth for FCS and Magnom technology.
