Keep washing water reusable longer.
3M filtration products for machining and metal working.
Whether you need a cooling filtration solution for cutting, stamping or moulding parts, or an efficient solution to filter water for parts washing, there’s a 3M industrial water solution for your circular system. Removing debris that can cause process issues and keeping washing water reusable longer can help reduce waste and add efficiency.
Filtration in Machining and Metal Working
Creating components and products from a raw material like metal requires a lot of processes that depend on filtration. Whether it’s keeping parts cool during fabrication or keeping parts lubricated or washing finished products, you need to be confident your filtration is delivering the results you need.
3M has multiple filtration solutions for machining and metal working applications to help you stay competitive in your challenging industry.

In high value operations where millions of identical parts are produced daily, even minor variations can impact your final product.
Designed for high performance and easy operation, the 3M™ High Flow Filter System delivers a high flow filter in a compact housing design.
Applications for Machining and Metal Working
We’re here to help. For more than 100 years, 3M has partnered with our customers to develop innovative filtration and purification products to help in their processes.
The source water you use in your process is not ready for prime time when it comes into your facility. It needs to be filtered to remove particles or treated to prepare it for use. The type and level of filtration needed depends on the source of your water.
3M’s filtration products help provide the particle reduction needed to deliver the high-quality water needed for machining, metal working and parts washing.
