VORTEX C-series

The Turbulence™ filter is built in.This is the High-Spec Series that washes chips away automatically.

World’s First — All-in-one, Medium-pressure Coolant Pump

This is a basic Vortex model consolidating a large coolant system into one unit. Simply replace a conventional medium-pressure pump with a C series pump to reduce the occupied space to 1/100th by volume. The plant space is in effect greatly expanded and production efficiency improves.

  • Maximum operating pressure: 2.0MPa
  • Maximum discharge: 28.8 liters/min.
  • No suction filter is required.
  • No clean tank is required.
  • No transfer pump is required on the dirty-tank end.
  • No plumbing is required to interconnect various components.

*Aqueous solution with 2% or more water-soluble coolant fluid.

Double-cyclone Filter

A proprietary double-cyclone filtering system removes chips*. The first and second cyclones remove relatively large and fine chips, respectively. The line-filter cleaning cycle is extended by 24 times.

*Chips larger than 20μm in size removed (when using aqueous solution containing 2% or more water-soluble coolant fluid).

Line-filter cleaning become once a month*

Compatible types of chips

Material Iron Casting Aluminum Copper
Compatibility Excellent Excellent Good Excellent

Filtering performance

Suction strainer 2mm (Solids larger than this must be removed in the tank.)
Filter 50μm: 95% (specific gravity 2.7)
100μm: 99% (specific gravity 2.7)
Note: No problems in using a Trochoid™ pump

High-efficiency Trochoid™ Pump

The C Series uses a Trochoid™ pump which excels in fluid control efficiency. The double-cyclone system sorts out chips and enables direct connection to the dirty tank.

  • Compatible types of fluid
    • Aqueous solution containing 2% or more water-soluble coolant fluid
    • Not for water-insoluble coolant fluid, lubricant oil or fuel oil
    • Not for clear water, purified water, aqueous solutions without rust-preventive property, viscous fluids, corrosive liquid, solvents, and oils
  • Relief valve is built into the unit.

Huge Energy Saving Effect Reduces Utility Costs*

The use of a Vortex results in huge energy savings over the conventional centrifugal pumps. The electric power cost is greatly reduced.

  • Operating cycle: Unload: 20 sec. →Drill 1 Center Through: 20 sec. → Unload: 20 sec. → Drill 2 Center Through: 20 sec.
  • Center Through pressure: 1.1MPa

*Calculated on the basis of operating time 8h/day, operating days 365/year, and the electric power cost ¥20/kWh.
