USED 1979 HOFFMAN F126

Hoffman Compact F126 Vacu-Matic Coolant Filter | 26 Sq. Ft. | 1979The Hoffman Vacu-Matic is a legendary industrial filtration system designed for the continuous removal of fine contaminants from metalworking coolants. This Compact F126 model features a 26-square-foot filtration area, using vacuum-assisted pressure to pull fluid through fabric media. This process creates a dense filter cake that provides superior clarity (often down to 5–10 microns) compared to standard gravity-fed systems.Manufactured in 1979 (S/N 7906009), this system is built with the heavy-duty welded steel tank and robust conveyor drive that made Hoffman the industry leader. It is an ideal "set-and-forget" solution for grinding, honing, or high-speed machining centers where maintaining coolant purity is critical for part finish and tool longevity.Technical SpecificationsManufacturer: Hoffman (Standard Filter)Model: F126 Vacu-Matic (Compact Series)Serial Number: 7906009Year of Manufacture: 1979Filter Area: 26 Square FeetMedia Type: Disposable Fabric (Paper/Poly)Automation: Automatic indexing conveyor with float-switch controlFiltration Method: Vacuum-Assisted (includes vacuum producer/exhauster)Construction: Welded Carbon Steel TankKey FeaturesVacuum-Enhanced Clarity: The vacuum-assist pulls fluid through the media more forcefully than gravity, creating a thicker filter cake that traps finer particles and ensures exceptionally clean coolant.Automatic Media Indexing: As the filter fabric becomes loaded, the system automatically advances a fresh section of media and discharges the dry waste, minimizing operator maintenance.Drier Sludge Discharge: The vacuum pulls residual fluid from the waste before it is ejected, reducing coolant loss and lowering the weight/cost of waste disposal.Proven Longevity: Built in 1979 with heavy-duty components, this system is engineered for 24/7 industrial service and remains fully supported with modern replacement parts.
