Sponsored content from Transor. Transor’s unique chiller system removes the heat from your machining and your plant. Coolant is kept at a consistent /- 0.01ºC delivering predictable, repeatable performance. By achieving thermal stability, tolerances are consistently held, reducing scrap and re-works. On cellular systems, the integrated chillers can be moved to either side of the filter for unobstructed service access. With centralized systems, the chiller can be located in a separate space or even outside of the facility to alleviate all heat from the workplace. transorfilter.com/answers/ch…
