Cost-Effective Centralized Coolant Filtration for up to FOUR Machines: The Elite FILTRAmaq PRO

Rethinking Centralized Coolant Filtration

In grinding and sharpening operations, coolant quality directly impacts surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and machine longevity. Traditionally, shops have faced a difficult choice: operate individual filtration systems at each machine or invest in large, expensive centralized filtration infrastructure that introduces complexity and downtime risk.

The Elite FILTRAmaq PRO changes that equation.

Designed as a stand-alone centralized coolant filtration system, the FILTRAmaq PRO supports up to four machines while remaining compact, flexible, and cost-effective—making it ideal for tool rooms, saw shops, and grinding operations looking to improve performance without overengineering their filtration setup.

High-Performance Filtration Without the Complexity

The FILTRAmaq PRO is engineered to work with both water-soluble synthetic blended coolants and grinding oils, delivering ultra-fine 2-micron filtration to remove carbide powder and abrasive fines before they can circulate back into your machines.

A gravity-fed dirty coolant tank with a settling compartment allows heavier contaminants to separate naturally, while stainless-coated neodymium magnets provide efficient pre-cleaning before filtration. Clean coolant is then recirculated using your existing machine pumps—eliminating the need for energy-intensive booster pumps.

This intelligent design improves coolant clarity, enhances tool finish, and significantly reduces wear on spindles, guides, and bearings.

Autonomous Operation That Protects Productivity

One of the most common challenges with traditional centralized systems is machine dependency: when one machine goes down for service, the entire system may be affected.

The FILTRAmaq PRO avoids this issue entirely.

Because it operates as a self-contained, autonomous unit, each connected machine can continue running independently—even if another machine requires maintenance. This architecture ensures uninterrupted production and greater operational flexibility on the shop floor.

Designed for Precision and Long-Term Cost Savings

Cleaner coolant does more than improve surface finish—it stabilizes the entire grinding process. By removing abrasive particles and maintaining consistent coolant quality, the FILTRAmaq PRO helps:

- Minimize thermal expansion during grinding

- Improve dimensional accuracy and repeatability

- Extend grinding wheel life

- Reduce unplanned maintenance and downtime

For operations requiring tighter temperature control, an optional 5 kW chiller is available to maintain stable coolant temperatures, further enhancing grinding precision and consistency.

Scalable, Compact, and Shop-Friendly

Available with filtration flow rates of 50, 100, 150, or 200 liters per minute, the FILTRAmaq PRO can be tailored to match your production demands. Its compact, space-saving footprint allows it to be installed conveniently between machines—without disrupting existing layouts.

Optional accessories include replacement filter cartridges and compatibility with HMT CleanGrind Synthetic Coolant, providing a complete, integrated coolant management solution.

A Smarter Approach to Centralized Filtration

The FILTRAmaq PRO from Elite offers a practical alternative to both individual filtration units and oversized centralized systems. It delivers the benefits of centralized filtration—cleaner coolant, improved accuracy, and reduced wear—while keeping costs, complexity, and downtime firmly under control.

If your operation is looking for a scalable, high-performance coolant filtration solution for up to four machines, the Elite FILTRAmaq PRO is engineered to deliver measurable results.
