Why industries choose magnetic filtration.
Magnetic filtration is widely used in the automotive industry within OEMs and tier 1 and 2 suppliers for the manufacture of powertrain and engine components.
Automotive
Typical Application
Case study
Advantages
Company Bombardier (Austria)
• Ring & pinion gear lapping • Turbocharger balancing machines • Crank shaft gun drilling
• High precision finish • Reduced downtime • 100% effective with cast iron particles • Ideal for 24/7 operation • Flow rates up to 10,000 litres: multi-use to increase flow capacity
Application Cast iron piston bushings Process Milling and gun drilling
• Valve face grinding • Cam shaft grinding • Cylinder liner honing • Engine liner grinding • Gear cutting and finishing
Filtramag removed sub-micron particles reducing abrasive wear on tools and parts. Tool changes and product reject rates were reduced to virtually zero.
Magnetic filtration is used by some of the world’s largest bearing manufacturers to ensure sub-micron accuracy in the production of bearing components.

Typical Applications
Case study Company Tsubaki-Hoover (Poland)
Advantages
• High precision product finish, concentricity and consistency
• Hub honing • Ball grinding • Super-finish/polishing • Ring grinding • Raceway grinding • Wash systems
Application Steel ball and rollers
• Reduced downtime • Sub-micron filtration
Process Super-finishing
• Ideal for high volume processes • Can be retrofitted to existing lines
• Rapid return on investment • Reduced waste – ISO14001
Micromag improved on 20 micron paper filters by extracting sub-micron ferrous particles. Surface finish was improved and reject rates fell dramatically.
It is vital that wash solutions are kept free from ferrous particles. Many wash systems have benefitted from installation of magnetic filtration which ensures the finished product is clean and complies with quality inspection.
