We’re committed to the environment and have a road map to reach Net Zero by 2040. We value all employees and are accredited to the Living Wage Foundation.
We want to transform our business into a sustainable organisation, that works to protect our planet. That's why we are working towards achieving net zero for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, and for scope 3 emissions by 2040. It's an ambitious target, but we are committed to having a net zero business by 2040. We believe that, together, we can secure a better future for our world. We began our net zero journey by calculating our total emissions for scopes 1, 2 and 3. Scope 3 makes up the majority of our emissions. These are the most difficult emissions to reduce, as they are produced by our suppliers and through the usage of our products. By understanding where our emissions come from, we can begin to take steps to reduce these, so that we can become a net zero business. By 2040, we want to be achieve net zero status for all scopes, making Eclipse Magnetics a net zero business. This is an ambitious target, but we are confident that we can achieve it. On our path to net zero, we are aiming to reach net zero status for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, as well as reducing our scope 3 emissions by 43%. This will set us on the right path for achieving net zero status for all scopes by 2040.

While still looking after our environmental impact
Our patented magnetic filtration systems are the ultimate in filtration technology, providing cost, quality and environmental benefits. Magnetic Filtration Operating Principle
Magnetic filtration can be used as a replacement for, or in conjunction with other forms of filtration to optimise filtration efficiency.
Maintain flow rates - High flow rates can be maintained without affecting filtration efficiency. Fluid does not flow through filter media, so flow is uninterrupted. Flow rates are determined by your process requirements, not by your filter. Reduced wear / increased precision finish - Particles that pass through traditional filters act as an abrasive, wearing parts, machinery and product. Magnetic filters remove these damaging particles. Fine filtration - Conventional filtration media, at 5 microns and below, can strip oils of anti-foaming, anti-bacteria and other additives. Magnetic filtration enables sub-micron filtration without affecting the oil’s properties, and can actually aid the effective control of bacteria. Complies with health and safety guidelines - Magnetic Filters make a major contribution to promoting safe handling of metalworking fluids. Cleaner fluids reduce the risk of human contact with metal fines thereby reducing the risk of cuts, abrasions and dermatitis. Reduced microbial development - Magnetic filters do not strip anti-bacterial properties from fluids thereby reducing the risk of bacterial development. Ferrous contamination in fluids can also act as a breeding ground for bacteria. Maintaining clean, polished fluids considerably reduces the risk of bacterial build up. Automated operation & cleaning - Our automated filtration systems remove the need for operators to come into contact with contaminated fluids.
Magnetic filtration is the most effective means of removing problem ferrous particles from industrial fluids such as coolants, lubricants and wash solutions. All the benefits of Eclipse Magnetic filters are based on their ability to remove virtually all ferrous particles, including sub-micron par- ticles from the process. Traditional filtration systems typically leave particles smaller than 5 - 10 microns circulating in fluid causing dam- age to process equipment and finished products.
Magnetic filtration systems are ideal for either new build projects or they can be fitted to enhance existing filtration systems.
Significantly Lower Operating Costs Cleaner, longer lasting fluids - Removes almost 100% of ferrous contamination, including sub-micron particles. This can extend the life of fluids and reduce growth of bacteria, minimising maintenance costs and enhancing safety. Reduced usage of consumables - With efficient filtration capability, magnetic filters significantly reduce the burden on disposable items such as paper or cartridges. Thereby reducing expenditure on replacements and expensive disposal costs. In some cases it can remove the need for alternative filtration altogether. Minimal fluid loss - Contamination is removed from the filter as a semi-dry ‘cake’. Fluid loss is considerably less than that of traditional filter media.
No disposal costs - The cake itself can be recycled, eliminating expensive specialist disposal costs.
Minimal running costs - Auto and manually cleaned magnetic filters require no additional power. Magnetic self-cleaning filters only require a small amount of power for the cleaning process. Magnetic filters don’t require any consumable or replacement parts. Continuous 24/7 operation - Fully automated magnetic filtration systems are ideal for continuous manufacturing lines. Rapid return on investment - Magnetic filtration is perfect for cost reduction and continuous improvement programmes providing a rapid return on investment.
Reduced Environmental Impact A major consideration for any business is its responsibility to the environment. Magnetic filtration is a positive contribution to companies’ environmental policies and ISO14001 accreditation. Reduced Waste Magnetic filtration requires no consumable or disposable products. It extracts a large proportion of ferrous contamination, drastically reducing the use of disposable filter media. Less fluid is used as its effectiveness is maintained for longer. Recycled Waste Extracts captured, ferrous contamination ready for recycling processes.

Case Study - Micromag Dielectric Fluid Protection
Case Study - AM6 Automag Skid Ultrasonic Testing
Automated clean filter, flow rates up to 10,000 litres per min.
Compact, high-performance machine tool filter, rapid return on investment.
Application Background The Automag Skid magnetic filtration system is a self-contained filtration and fluid recovery system. The fully automated industrial fluid filtration unit or coolant separator minimises fluid loss during cleaning and is ideal for 24/7 high volume single or multi-cell CNC machining or wash system applications. The combination of high-performance magnetic circuits and a patented dual flow system ensures almost 100% of ferrous waste is filtered leaving clean cutting, grinding fluids or wash solutions to return to process. The Challenge Due to the tight tolerances required by the off shore industry, it is imperative that the quality of the pipes is 100%. Product rejects can cost £1000 per piece and the consequences of a fault in the field can have huge compensation consequences. In order to ensure the highest levels of quality, the pipes are sent through a tempering, de-scaling, rounding, and straightening process. The last stage is an ultrasonic testing procedure to check for any faults such as cracks or wall thickness irregularities. During this process, water is pumped around the ultrasonic test area at 100 litres per minute. Water is an excellent sound wave conductor, therefore it improves the reliability of the readings and makes the process more efficient. However, contamination in the water was affecting the readings, causing slow cycle times due to re-scanning and the possibility of a good product being rejected. The Solution Eclipse provided Vallourec with a Double Automag AM6 magnetic filter. This filter is a fully automated unit ideal for 24/7 machining operations. With high contamination collection capacity and an ability to handle high flow rates, Automag is widely used on high volume production lines. In this case the customer opted for a Double Automag in order to have a fail-safe backup if required. The Automag was fitted during a system refurbishment which enabled the process to recycle water. It is fitted after a settlement tank and before a band filter, and extracts 0.56 kg of waste per day. Most of the particles are concentrated between 6 and 15 microns, and the added advantage is that some particles which previously slipped through (less than 4 microns down to sub-micron size) are now extracted. Since fitting the Automag, Vallourec’s maintenance downtime has dropped to zero. It also means that the company are able to use recycled water, which saves them £1000 a week.
Application Background The patented, compact Micromag magnetic filter can provide major cost, quality and environmental benefits to precision machining processes such as grinding, honing, lapping, drilling and EDM applications. With a high collection capacity relative to size it offers a fine particle collection performance with a low initial investment. The Challenge EDM machining can, and often does, come with significant problems, severely hampering the efficiency of the process. Dirty dielectric fluid is one of the most problematic factors facing manufacturers when using spark erosion as part of their manufacturing processes. Contaminated dielectric fluid can result in secondary sparking (re-spark), generating a high level of energy wastage. The Solution Bowers Group is committed to ensuring its practices offer the highest level of efficiency. Looking for the most effective solution to ensure the EDM process was working as cost-effectively as possible, the company sought the help of Eclipse Magnetics, installing a Micromag MM20 to help improve its filtration of dielectric fluid. Eclipse Magnetics has introduced its innovative magnetic technology to the EDM process to ensure the dielectric fluid is kept as clean and efficient as possible. The Micromag MM20 is a compact filter that allows fluid to pass around its centrally mounted Neodymium core, capturing even the finest ferrous particles.

How Micromag Works Contaminated fluid enters the inlet port where flow is equally split via tapered radial flow channels which lowers the flow velocity ready for the fluid to be filtered. It then passes up the outside of the centrally mounted ‘Rare Earth’ magnetic core where contamination particles are attracted and retained. The magnetic flux circuit geometry ensures a controlled build up of contamination so the filter can never block. Filtered fluid then flows through slots at the top of the core then down and through the centre of the core, exiting through the outlet port.

Autofiltrex
Autofiltrex
Patented Design
How Autofiltrex Works
Automated machine tool filtration system with waste reclaim unit.
AutoFiltrex works in-line and oufline (with pump available), taking dirty fluid from the holding tank and delivering clean polished fluid to the tool / work piece contact point. As fluid flows through the AutoFiltrex cylinder, high intensity magnetic circuits extract ferrous contamination particles. When the magnets reach saturation point, a timed automated purging process lifts the magnetic cores from the housing thereby releasing contamination. This is simultaneously diverted via a 3-way valve to the reclaim unit (or when using AF1 to a purge or holding tank). The unit can be set to purge at timed intervals or be manually executed. The air pressure supply required is 6 bar minimum, 10 bar maximum. * AF1 unit is not supplied with a reclaim unit. For optimal cleaning, the flow rate should be higher than 1/3 of the maximum flow rate. Pumps units are available for each model.

Automag Skid
Patented Design
How Automag Works
An AutoMag magnetic filter removes magnetic and para-magnetic contamination and holds it until it is re- leased during the automated ‘purge’ process. Then, the filter’s output is briefly diverted so that fluid carries the contamination to the purge tank.
The purge tank then feeds the contaminated fluid to the magnetic reclaim which removes the contamination, putting clean fluid back into circulation. The contamina- tion is extracted in a form ready for disposal or recycling. Units can be supplied with a single filter or double filters for duplex operation.
Automated clean filter, flow rates up to 10,000 litres per min.
