Sludge remover
In this category, we have compiled a list of sludge removal devices by the material to be processed and the processing fluid. We have introduced information on typical equipment by manufacturer, so please refer to this page if you are considering the introduction of such equipment.
Brittle material sludge (chips and shavings) remover
Brittle materials are materials such as cemented carbide, ceramics, cast iron, and glass. They are so called because they are brittle materials that can fracture with little or no elongation. Here, we have compiled a list of equipment for removing sludge generated during the processing of brittle materials.

Metal sludge (chips, shavings) remover
Metal sludge is generated every time machine tools are used. If these are left unattended, there is a high risk that they will lead to a decrease in product quality, machine tool trouble, etc. Therefore, appropriate measures are necessary. The following is a selection of removal equipment for this purpose.

Coolant filtration system
Three recommendations
Coolant filtration equipment is used to filter sludge generated from equipment. There are a variety of products available depending on the intended use, so it is important to determine "whether the coolant filtration equipment is suitable for the purpose" and "whether the equipment is suited to the characteristics of sludge.
