When it comes to precision grinding and sharpening, coolant quality is just as important as the machine itself. Contaminated coolant can accelerate wear on machine components, reduce grinding accuracy, shorten grinding wheel life, and increase maintenance costs.
That's why HMT Machine Tools is proud to feature the Elite FILTRAmaq PRO at IWF Atlanta 2026. Visit Booth #B7901 to see this advanced centralized coolant filtration system in action and learn how it can improve efficiency throughout your grinding operation.
What Is the Elite FILTRAmaq PRO?
The Elite FILTRAmaq PRO is a stand-alone centralized coolant filtration system designed to supply clean coolant to up to four grinding or sharpening machines. Unlike traditional centralized filtration systems that rely on a single machine or pump, the FILTRAmaq PRO operates independently, ensuring uninterrupted production even if one connected machine is taken offline for maintenance.
Compatible with both water-soluble synthetic coolants and grinding oils, the FILTRAmaq PRO continuously removes fine contaminants while maintaining optimal coolant quality for precision grinding applications.
Why Coolant Filtration Matters
Grinding operations generate microscopic carbide particles, metal fines, and other contaminants that circulate through coolant systems. Without effective filtration, these particles can:
- Reduce grinding accuracy
- Damage machine guides, spindles, and bearings
- Shorten grinding wheel life
- Increase coolant replacement frequency
- Lead to inconsistent surface finishes
High-quality coolant filtration helps maintain cleaner coolant, resulting in improved machining performance, longer equipment life, and reduced operating costs.
Key Features of the FILTRAmaq PRO
Supports Up to Four Machines
The FILTRAmaq PRO provides centralized filtration for up to four sharpening or grinding machines, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers looking to streamline coolant management across multiple workstations.
Ultra-Fine 2-Micron Filtration
Advanced 2-micron filtration removes even the smallest abrasive particles from coolant, helping improve surface finish, grinding precision, and overall tool quality.
Autonomous Stand-Alone Operation
Unlike conventional centralized systems, the FILTRAmaq PRO functions independently from your machines' existing pumps. This autonomous design minimizes downtime and allows production to continue even if one connected machine requires service.
Magnetic Pre-Cleaning Technology
Powerful stainless-coated neodymium magnets capture carbide particles before they reach the filter cartridges, extending filter life while reducing maintenance requirements.
Energy-Efficient Gravity Return System
The gravity-fed coolant return eliminates the need for a booster pump, reducing energy consumption while simplifying installation.
Compact, Space-Saving Design
Its compact footprint allows the FILTRAmaq PRO to fit conveniently between multiple machines without occupying valuable production space.
Benefits for Your Grinding Operation
Installing a centralized coolant filtration system like the FILTRAmaq PRO can provide measurable improvements across your shop, including:
- Cleaner coolant for consistent grinding performance
- Improved grinding accuracy and surface finish
- Reduced wear on spindles, bearings, and guideways
- Extended grinding wheel life
- Longer coolant service intervals
- Lower maintenance costs
- Increased machine uptime
Explore the Complete Elite FILTRAmaq Line
Not every operation requires a centralized system. That's why Elite offers multiple filtration solutions designed for different production environments.
Elite FILTRAmaq SOLO
Self-Contained Filtration for One Machine
The FILTRAmaq SOLO is a compact, stand-alone coolant filtration system designed for individual grinding and sharpening machines. Featuring 2-micron filtration and magnetic pre-cleaning, it delivers cleaner coolant, improved grinding quality, extended grinding wheel life, and lower maintenance—all within a compact, easy-to-install package.
Elite FILTRAmaq UNO
Machine-Integrated Coolant Filtration
The FILTRAmaq UNO is integrated directly into select Elite grinding machines, including the AVB 850, SVG 850, MVB 850, GBT 850, and JVC DUO. With 2-micron filtration and advanced magnetic pre-cleaning, it maintains coolant quality while extending coolant life, grinding wheel life, and machine component longevity. The result is improved grinding precision with significantly reduced maintenance.
