3. Intended Uses The CDR is a proven effective solution for high volume, multiple shift machining applications with a filtering conveyor. It provides constant, full flow coolant filtration to catch and prevent fines from accumulating in the machine’s coolant tank, where they contaminate the entire coolant system and machining environment.
Features & Benefits 3.1. CDR Features: ▪ 80 GPM (gallons per minute) constant flow rate ▪ Filtration down to 3um (depending on density) ▪ Full flow filtration system to circulate coolant in tank. ▪ Quick and convenient cleanout ▪ Easy Installation with complete parts kit ▪...
Considerations and Explanations 3.2. • The CDR is not intended to be a replacement for filtering conveyors and is not to be used after a standard hinge belt conveyor. • The CDR is intended to be used after the following filtering conveyor styles. Drum, disc, filter box, and in certain applications, magnetic conveyors.

o The high fluid velocities create high centrifugal forces that “pull” the denser particles towards the walls of the cyclone cone. The velocity and forces increase as the cone narrows towards the bottom. The heavier concentrated debris is discharged through the bottom apex. The lighter fluid exits the top of the cyclone via the vortex finder and returns to the machine coolant tank.

machine tank. This number can then be compared to the number of gallons that are removed by the filter daily. • Severe Duty models use an additional filter vessel containing a perforated screen basket that can be manually emptied, cleaned, and re-used. The purpose of this vessel is to capture particles larger than 1/16”...

Understand tank layout to determine suction, return, and overflow locations. • Remove power completely from the chip conveyor and machine. i. Ensure chip conveyor CAN NOT turn on or injury may occur. • Remove any access panels on top of the tank that will allow for a good view or feel of the tank layout.
• Knockout or Hole saws (optional) o 1.75”, 2.00”, 2.50” When installing MP Systems products, the correct location of the dip tubes is important to a successful install. The best way to do this is to use a preexisting hole in the tank can be used to pass the various pipes through the tank top.

United States require a step down transformer as the machine tools, typically, run on 200 +/- 10% VAC. 208-230v is the standard voltage for MP Systems units. (Optionally, 480V units can be purchased, voltage cannot be changed in the field) Utilizing machine tool voltage makes lockout/tag-out far easier and allows it to comply with most local regulations.
6.3.2 Power Harness Installation CDR kit contains power cable, circuit breaker, twist lock plug, and all necessary connectors. 1. Route supplied power harness and hardware into machine electrical panel. • Be sure to leave enough cable leading outside the machine for twist lock plug to reach CDR electrical panel.
6.3.3 Control Signal Installation (Optional-Not Required) Using machine tool control signals is not recommended by MP SYSTEMS. If required for your application, please contact MP SYSTEMS for more information. • The CDR can be automatically turned on and off by connecting to a machine signal.
6.4 Plumbing Installation Overview: There are three dip tubes and hoses that will need to be installed. 1 ½” Return 1 ¼” Overflow Dual 1 ¼” Inlets -or- 2” Single Inlet 6.4.1 Dip Tubes Installation Some pipe fittings are sent loose, and extra fittings are included to allow for optimal configurations.

o The CDR is shipped with no pump inlet fitting(s) installed. They can be found in the kit. o For Dual Inlet configurations, install the assembled 2” NPT X 1 ¼” Barbs fittings into the front of the pump using appropriate pipe sealant and ensure it is fully tightened.
Page 31
o For single 2” inlet, assemble the supplied dip tube pipe components and green clamp to fasten to tank top. --------------------------------→ ▪ Ensure that the bottom of plate touches the bottom of tank. • Install 1 ½” Return Dip Tube o Install on opposite side of tank from the Inlet(s) to create counterflow back to inlet and circulate the tank.
Overflow port on settling tank MUST BE higher than overflow dip tube in machine tank. • 80GPM to 60GPM conversion. (Optional – Contact MP Systems) 1. For smaller tanks, 80GPM may be too high of a flow rate and cause spillover.

• Severe Duty “SD” models only: • For Severe Duty models, there is an additional filter vessel that will need to be installed between the CDR pump outlet, and the CDR inlet manifold. Longer hoses are provided in the installation kit. The purpose of this vessel is to capture all particles larger than 1/16”...
6.4.3 Pump Priming Procedure Before turning the system on and checking motor rotation, the pump must first be primed. Failure to do this will result in damage to the pump’s mechanical seal. • Ensure inlet hose(s) are attached to the inlet of pump and the clamps are tightened securely.
7. Operation 7.1 Start Up Checklist After priming the CDR there are a few things to inspect before running the machine. MP Systems recommends running the system with the manual start (#9) and stop (#0) buttons when first turning the system on. 1.

Page 42
ALARM SOUND – There is an optional buzzer sound that can be set to alert the operator whenever the system is in alarm. To enable, change the setting from 0 to 1 and press enter. OFF DELAY TIME – (Only applicable if using external signal harness to run CDR). When using an external signal to run the system, there is an off delay that will continue to run the pump for a set amount of time after the external signal is removed.
8. Maintenance General maintenance for CDR Series consists of scraping debris from settling tank, periodically cleaning Y strainer before inlet of spin filters, and in some cases cleaning out the discharge apex of spin filters. The settling tank should only be scraped when a reasonable amount of debris has built up to the point where large quantities can be removed at a time.
Depending on the abrasive nature of the particles going through the filters, they may wear down over time and need to be replaced. The filters are assembled from modular parts that can be replaced as needed. Contact MP Systems for more information and to purchase replacement components.
CDR Series equipment comes standard with a 2 year parts warranty. Warranty is void if proper installation, specification, and operational procedures are not followed. Contact MP Systems directly for warranty claims. MP Systems 34 Bradley Park Road East Granby, CT 06026 Phone 877-689-1860 •...
