HOW AUTOMAG WORKS
The Automag magnetic filter from Eclipse Magnetics uses
powerful ‘rare earth’ magnetic material to improve the quality,
efficiency and performance of manufacturing and finishing
processes.
The fully automatic, self purging unit effectively removes all
magnetic debris, down to sub-micron size, from cutting fluids
and oils. This ensures clean fluid is available at the cutting
face resulting in an enhanced surface finish and reduced final-
inspection scrap.
The filter does not use consumables, unlike cartridge and bag
filters, operates without user intervention and requires only
a small amount of compressed air to operate the cleaning
process. Running costs are extremely low.
Payback can be calculated in months rather than years.
Automag can also benefit many other manufacturing
applications – from industrial part washing systems to vehicle
pre-paint body washing stations and any other applications
that rely on a clean supply of filtered fluid.
6 and 12 core units are supplied.

HOW AUTOMAG WORKS
released
contamination
Contaminated fluid enters the inlet port
where it is dispersed into the first filtration
chamber. The fluid passes around the
high-intensity ‘rare earth’ magnetic
cores where contamination particles are
removed. The fluid is slowed and enters
the second filtration chamber where it
receives further filtration.
Contamination remains attached to the
stainless steel sleeves of the cores. The
filtered fluid exits through the outlet port
to be re-circulated.
The geometry of the magnetic flux
circuit ensures a controlled build up of
contamination so the filter can never block.
The purging process is fully automated.
The cores are raised from the sleeves and
the purge valve is switched. Fluid is pumped
through the filter washing the contamination
from the unit.
In use Contamination is attracted to the
sleeve of the cores. Cleaned fluid is re-
circulated.
