Recirculating Filter System
The RC-1000 portable recirculating filter system allows for polishers to be mobile as well as to filter and
remove polishing swarf and abrasives generated from PACE Technologies NANO series polishers.
Utilizing a positive pressure pump, the recirculating filter system is able to provide clean water
containing <0.1
μ
m particles, thus eliminating waste flow to the building drainage system. The filtering
process begins with a coarse filter to eliminate coarse materials such as ripped polishing pads or torn
grinding papers. With a three chamber tank and counter current flow coarse abrasives can also settle
when the pump is not activated. As water is required, the pump will engage and pull the effluent
through a series of fine filters starting with a 0.5
μ
m filter, followed by a filter >0.1
μ
m and then to a sub
0.1
μ
m filter.
