The Benefits of Ultra-Fine Filtration,
and What it Means to Your Total Cost of Ownership

When it comes to the Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO) for new capital equipment, smart manufacturers consider the multiple factors at play in analyzing and making an informed purchasing decision. For over 30 years, Transor users have experienced not only the MANY benefits of our Ultra-Fine Filtration but also the VALUE received during the filter’s life cycle.  Let’s take a look at several of these factors that make pay-back with a Transor Filtration System… “Clearly The Best”.

Protecting Your Capital Investment

Typically, the cost of filtration is a small percentage of the total cost of a machining center, grinder or other machine tool requiring filtration. With our Ultra-Fine Filtration, Transor users have found their machine tools operate more efficiently. By delivering a continuous supply of exceptionally clean oil during machining, critical components such as guideways, spindles, drive systems, etc. require less maintenance or replacement extending both the life of your machine tool and your investment.

Reduced Consumable Costs

Transor’s patented filter elements are designed to be cleaned, not replaced. Through our unique backflushing process, the filter is cleaned automatically. These elements provide extended life of 15,000 hours… or more. When you consider both the cost and time of replacing filter cartridges as well as machine down-time, Transor Filter Systems save you both time and money.

Faster Cycle Times

Every Transor user has experienced increased cycle times due to Ultra-Fine Filtration.  With less debris from the oil clogging grinding/honing wheels, EDM electrodes or interfering in multi-axis machining, customers report anywhere from 10% to 25% increase in cycle time resulting in more parts per hour.

Extended Wheel Life

For the many Transor users involved with tool and cutter or single/double disc grinding, having less debris in the grinding wheel extends its life. The resulting benefits are less wheel replacement, both in cost and machine down-time, improved repeatability and finer surface finishes.

Virtually Maintenance Free

Transor Filter Systems have been designed to provide virtually maintenance-free operation. From the automated backflushing and cleanable (instead of replaceable) filter elements, to the easy disposal of machined debris, machine operators overwhelming state how their time spent in machine maintenance is greatly reduced. 

Finer Finishes

Many Transor users as well as their customers have noted how much better the finished product looks. To achieve repeatable performance, thermal consistency is a requirement. The Transor System delivers this with our chiller system that maintains the Ultra-Fine filtered oil at  +/- 0.01ºC.

Easy Disposal of Debris

The unique design of Transor Systems with automated backflushing removes the debris from the filter for easy disposal or reclamation. There are two options available with each system – the handy disposable bag, or an automated “drag-out” that deposits debris in a 55-gallon drum.  Both require minimal operator involvement and eliminate the messy process of other filtration systems. In the case of carbide cutting tools, the carbide residue can easily be reclaimed for dollars.

Cleaner Workplace Environment

It’s easy to understand that a clean workplace equals a happy workplace. Manufacturing facilities utilizing a Transor System consistently provide for a cleaner work environment. With Ultra-Fine filtered oil coupled with easy debris disposal, machine operators enjoy cleaner machines and surrounding work area.
