Mineral Bed Filter

Wire cut: MBF- a fantastic filter for your expensive machine

Mineral Bed Filter (MBF) is a semi-automatic filtration system for dielectric fluids used in wire cut machines. It increases the life of your consumable filter cartridges by at least 300%, meaning you can use them for months and months longer.

MBF's powerful filtering system removes contaminants from your dielectric fluid. It keeps it sparkling clean and prevents costly machine damage. Thus, having an MBF directly impacts the performance and efficiency of your wire cut machines, resulting in less downtime and increased production. The MBF achieves this while reducing maintenance costs.

The problem is that wire cut machines consume a lot of filters.

One of the most common problems manufacturers face with wire cut machines is an excessive need for cartridge filters. This is consistent with the feedback we receive from our customers before the installation of MBF. For example, S.B. Engineers- a die & mold industry veteran, mentioned in their testimonial- 

"Since we run our machines 24X7, we had to change the filter cartridges in our wire cut machines every 15 days. However, after installing the MBF system from Innovation Filter System, we change them only twice a year."

Modern, mid-range, and high-end wire cut machines have built-in consumable filters. The problem is that you have to change these filters frequently. Thus, impacting your bottom line. Especially if you're using a more high-end machine, these filter cartridges are costly, especially for imported wire cut machines.

So naturally, some manufacturers try to solve the problem by using cheaper filters in their high-end machines. But this always ends up backfiring on them. It badly affects the quality of the materials being machined. This means manufacturers have to spend even more money on machine repairs or high wire consumption.

MBF: an innovative and eco-friendly solution for profitable wire cut machining

We have been proud of our association with Electronica India and Electronica Hitech for more than 20 years. Our MBF systems equip almost all of their machines.

  • Eco-friendly filter medium- We use quartz sand as filter media.
  • Zero water wastage- We backwash the sand using water within a closed loop.
  • The option of manual and fully automatic systems is available.
  • We can provide a retrofit solution for any wire cut machine like Fanuc, Sodick, Agie-Charmilles, Mitsubishi, Makino, Electronica, etc.

If you have wire cut machines, you'll love that the MBF helps you increase your productivity with a low-cost solution.

Product FAQ

A standard system requires 100 kg of sand.
No, the MBF is designed for wire cut EDM only. The reason being the filter media used in the MBF is not compatible with EDM oil, which is the dielectric used in EDM
No, the sand we use is quartz sand of a specific grain size. We control this size by passing the sand through our specially designed sieve.
The MBF is designed to improve the filter cartridge life of a single wire cut machine. Technically, the same system can be connected to 2 machines. However, in that case, the resultant flow of clean water will get divided into two machines. Thus, you will not observe a substantial improvement in your filter cartridge life.
Yes, the MBF system works in complete isolation with your wire cut machine i.e. we connect the pump of our system to the drain valve of your machine tank. The clean outlet from the MBF system flows directly into the machine tank. There is no mechanical or electrical interface of the wire cut machine and the MBF system.
