Filtration Media & Repair Parts

Barnes International has the experience to work very closely with our customers to analyze their filtration requirements and determine the most efficient and economical filter media for any application.  Particle size, shape and physical properties of the contaminant must be considered in making accurate, cost-saving filter fabric selections.

On coolant samples sent to us, we can provide complete coolant analysis.  In our fully equipped laboratory we can test for coolant contaminant levels, pH testing for water based coolant, coolant mix ratios, viscosity and water percentage for oil based coolants, magnetic particle analysis, particle distribution analysis and filtration efficiency. We specialize in manufacturing the world's best Fabric coolant Filters and providing the filter media that will get the job done! (Fabric to work with your Barnes filter or any other manufacturer's filter!) This includes fabrics specifically suited to water-soluble and cutting oil applications.

Filter Fabric Troubleshooting Guide

 

 

PROBLEM

 

 

CAUSE

 

SOLUTION

Fabric Gets Caught on Edges of Grid Belt

Fabric pan too full

Empty pan more often

 

Outside links of grid belt worn or broken

Replace grid belt

 

Grid belt installed incorrectly

Consult factory

Excessive Fabric Usage

Float switch set too low

Reset float switch.  See maintenance instructions

 

Filter fabric too dense

Change to a more open grade.  Call factory representative

 

Coolant foaming excessively

Consult coolant supplier

 

Coolant viscosity higher than originally specified

Change to correct coolant or change fabric to a more open grade

 

Coolant flow rate higher than originally specified

Reduce flow rate to match capacity of filter

 

Magnetic brake on clutch assembly malfunctioning

Consult factory

Fabric Does Not Index

Float switch set too high

Reset float switch.  See maintenance manual

 

Filter fabric too open

Change to denser grade.  Call factory representative

 

Fabric not seated under seal wheels

Rethread fabric.  See maintenance instructions

 

Grid belt too loose

Retighten or replace grid belt.  See maintenance instructions.

Excessive Contamination in Clean Coolant Tank

Coolant overflowing filter pool

Fabric not indexing normally.  Reset float switch

 

Fabric too open

Change to denser grade.  Call factory representative

 

Ripped or torn fabric

Replace fabric as necessary.

 

Grid belt too loose

Retighten or replace grid belt.  See maintenance instructions
