Embodiment Construction

[0027] refer to figure 1 , in one embodiment of the invention, the device 10 for cleaning filter cloths 12 comprises a first support structure 14 holding a reel of used filter cloth to be cleaned. A cleaning station 16 is arranged adjacent to the first support structure 14 . The second support structure 18 is placed on the opposite side of the cleaning table to the first support structure, and the second support structure 18 is used to receive the cleaned filter cloth 12 to the second reel. A collection device, such as a collection chamber 20 , for receiving material removed from the soiled filter cloth is placed between the two support structures 14 , 18 below where the filter cloth travels. The material removed from the soiled filter cloth and collected in the collection device is referred to herein as "chips".

[0028] The first support structure 14 holds the spool of used filter cloth 12 to be cleaned. From this reel the filter cloth 12 is guided over two guide rollers ...

Abstract

There is described an apparatus for cleaning a filter cloth, comprising: a cleaning station comprising a gas flow device and a support surface defining an aperture; and a collection device positioned below the aperture for receiving material removed from the filter cloth; wherein the gas flow device is configured to provide a flow of gas through an area of filter cloth located above the aperture so as to remove material from the filter cloth and direct it into the collection device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning filters. In particular it relates to a method and a device for cleaning filter cloths used in the filtration of metalworking fluids. Background technique [0002] Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are used as lubricants and coolants in metal cutting and grinding in industrial manufacturing such as automotive engines, transmissions and press shops, and in drilling operations. Most MWF are reused over a period of time through a delivery and return system. During this time the MWF can collect metal particles, dirt and other contaminants. These contaminants need to be removed from the MWF on a regular basis to ensure that the fluid will still function effectively when it is reused. [0003] One method of removing these contaminants from the MWF before it is reintroduced into the system or before the MWF is subjected to further cleaning, treatment, or recycling is to pass the MWF through a filter.
