MP SYSTEMS
CDR Series are shipped on wooden pallets designed for the safe
transport of the CDR Series Full Flow Filtration System. A large
MP SYSTEMS
box
protects the CDR from any unnecessary damage during transportation. If there is visible
damage from transportation, refer to
Section 5.1 Delivery Checks
.

The CDR filtration system is intended to be used on high volume machining centers
with (500
μm or finer) filtering conveyors or magnetic conveyors (SD models only) running
water-based coolant. It works best filtering fine material with a specific gravity of 2 or
higher. It is not to be used with cutting oil. It is not intended to replace a filtering
conveyor, but to be used as secondary, finer filtration to prevent sludge and fine debris
from accumulating throughout the tank.
Be sure to inspect conveyor filter(s) before installing CDR. Wearing appropriate gloves or
using a scoop, take a sample of debris from the machine tank and spread out across a
piece of paper. There should be no individual particles larger than 1/32” (the thickness of
a credit card). If there is, this indicates a tear in the filter screen, or the screen(s) are
plugged, and the coolant level in conveyor is piling up too high and debris is bypassing the
conveyor. These issues will need to be addressed before adding secondary filtration. A
properly working filtering conveyor is the best way to automatically remove a large amount
of the chips being produced by most machining operations.
•
CDR typical installation time required: 4 Hours
•
Low pressure plumbing kit includes inlet, return, and overflow dip tubes, hoses, and
clamps.
•
3 Phase power kit w/circuit breaker provided to pull power directly from machine.
•
CDR can be set to automatically run when powered on, or with scheduled run clock.
•
Status indicator light and HMI screen removes need for alarm interface with
machine.
•
May require hole saws to modify tank, see appendix in back for more information.
•
The CDR requires roughly 24” x 48” of floor space that is located next to the coolant
tank.
•
The Severe Duty “SD” model will require roughly 34” X 50” of floor space due to the
additional filter vessel.
