The Automag Skid is a self-contained, free-standing magnetic filtration system providing uninterrupted 24/7 magnetic filtration. The skid can be used in-line or with the optional integral pump, off-line. A patent-pending Automag self-purging magnetic filter* removes magnetic and para-magnetic contamination, down to submicron size, from coolants and lubricants. The filter holds the contamination until it is released during the automated ‘purge’ process. This briefly diverts the filter’s purged output so that fluid carries all the contamination to the buffer tank. The buffer tank feeds the contaminated fluid to the high-intensity coolant roller.
The magnetic coolant roller removes the contamination from the fluid, putting clean fluid back into circulation. The contamination is extracted in a form ready for disposal or recycling.

How It Works?
Operation
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. 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 stainless steel sleeves and carrying it into the buffer tank.
Purging
The fluid is then slowed and passed onto the coolant roller. This purged fluid is highly contaminated. The flow rate and high magnetic strength of the roller ensure that contamination removal is extremely efficient. The clean fluid is then re-circulated, the contamination is scraped from the roller and collected for disposal or recycling.
