The folding belt filter

More than just compact

A folding belt filter is more than just a space-saving filter system - it is a practical solution for industrial filtration. Its principle: cleaning contaminated cooling lubricant automatically without taking up much space or requiring manual intervention. The special feature here is that the upper chamber can be opened, which significantly simplifies maintenance and servicing. In everyday life, this means less downtime, less effort - and more focus on the production process.

Folding belt filter from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS

Our folding belt filter is a special version of a pressure belt filter. We develop high-performance folding belt filters for the efficient filtration of cooling lubricants. Our system combines a compact design with fully automatic operation and a maintenance-friendly design - making it an ideal choice for demanding production environments. Each filter is adapted to the specific requirements of our customers - from the flow rate to the installation situation.

Clean solution - the drain in the folding belt filter

01

The folding belt filter cleans contaminated cooling lubricant fully automatically in a cleverly designed system. The medium is pumped into the upper dirt chamber, where it evenly hits a circulating filter belt under controlled overpressure. The flow-optimized chamber ensures a homogeneous flow.

02

While the cleaned medium is collected in the filtrate chamber below and fed back into the production process, chips and solids remain on the filter belt. An integrated sensor monitors the resistance in the filter belt and detects when the saturation level is reached. The belt is then automatically advanced, the previously dry-blown dirt cake is mechanically discharged and fresh filter medium is drawn in.

03

Particularly easy to maintain: the upper chamber can be opened - this makes servicing work considerably easier and reduces downtimes. Thanks to its compact design, the folding belt filter can also be flexibly integrated into existing systems - ideal for retrofitting or where space is limited.

Advantages of our folding belt filters

80 % less space required

The design of the folding belt filter significantly reduces the footprint required compared to conventional flat belt filters. Ideal for production environments with limited space - especially for retrofitting or central filter units.

Up to 2,000 l/min flow rate

The folding belt filter is also suitable for high volume flows without compromising filtration. Depending on the filter medium used, reliable separation is guaranteed even with fine particles.

Easy to maintain

Thanks to the hinged design, all components are easily accessible for servicing and cleaning. This shortens downtimes and reduces the effort required in the event of faults or belt changes.

Continuous operation without operator

The filter works fully automatically. The control system monitors the degree of soiling, controls the belt feed, drying and discharge - without any intervention by the operator. This saves resources and creates process reliability.

Supplied pre-assembled

The system is delivered ready for operation - including all mechanical and electrical connections. This reduces the installation time on site and speeds up commissioning.

Typical applications in everyday production

Metalworking

In machining, the filter ensures reliable separation of chips, grinding dust and ultra-fine particles - ideal for milling, turning, drilling or grinding processes and as a secondary filter in precoat filter systems.

Oil treatment

Folding belt filters can be used for post-filtration, for example in oil-carrying cooling lubricant circuits. This improves the purity of the medium and extends its service life.

Modernization of existing systems

Thanks to the compact design, existing production lines can be retrofitted with effective filter technology without great effort.

Rolling and steel industry

At high flow rates and temperatures, the filter ensures robust and continuous media cleaning.

Automotive industry

The high filtration stability supports processes with changing materials and complex geometries - crucial for series production with tight tolerances.

Machine tool construction

The filter can be integrated into machines to save space - ideal for individual and series machines.

General metalworking

Universally applicable - from single part production to large-scale production - when clean cooling lubricants are the prerequisite for precise results.
