Bed Filter Tank System

bed filter

These durable, hard-working, automatic systems are designed to keep your cutting, grinding, drilling, and milling machinery operating at peak performance while keeping the coolant free of swarf, dirt, chips, grit, and other machining by-products. By filtering out harmful contaminants, coolant life is greatly extended saving both coolant replacement and labor change-out costs.


Rugged, heavy-duty Bed Filter Tank System is available in 31, 41, 54 and 67 gallon tank sizes. Make the right decision for your shop floor—choose the high performance Bed Filter Tank System from Graymills.

Rugged, Durable Construction

This reliable Bed Filter Tank System is built to give years of service on your shop floor.

Extra-Strength Chain Links

Industrial strength chain links resist binding and offer trouble-and kink-free operation. Heavy center rods add durability and strength.

How does the Bed Filter Work?

A paper bed filter system uses a non-woven filter fabric to remove particles from as it passes through the filter: 

  1. Coolant entry: Contaminated coolant enters the system and is directed to a diffuser. 
  2. Filtration: The coolant flows through the filter fabric, where particles are trapped. 
  3. Clogging: As the filter fabric fills with particles, the coolant level rises. 
  4. Filter rotation: When the coolant level reaches a certain point, a liquid level sensor activates the filter feed, which indexes the conveyor to expose a new area of filter media. 
  5. Filter replacement: The spent filter media is moved to a waste bin, and clean filter fabric is used in its place. 
  6. Coolant recycling: The filtered coolant is returned to the machine tool, while the dirty filter fabric is moved to a sludge tank. 

Custom tanks and systems, and larger sizes up to 100gpm are available.  Consult factory for details.
