American Made
Purpose-Built Parts Washers
Our industrial parts washers are available in bench‑top, cabinet, and in‑line configurations. Each unit is built to accommodate specific part geometries, contaminants, wash media, and footprint constraints. We can also adapt to water-based or solvent-based cleaning, with systems optimized for eco-friendly operation.
Industrial Coolant Filters
D.E. Smith Industrial Coolant Filters deliver reliable, high-performance filtration for machining and manufacturing. Engineered to extend coolant life and protect equipment, they remove fine particles and contaminants that reduce efficiency. Built for durability and consistent performance, D.E. Smith filters help maintain cleaner systems, minimize downtime, and improve productivity across a wide range of industrial applications.
Chip-Handling Systems
Managing metal chips, coolants, and debris is a messy challenge. Our chip‑handling systems—complete with conveyors, separators, collectors, and filtration—help maintain a cleaner shop floor, better coolant quality, and continuous uptime.
Industrial Coolant Filters
DE Smith Coolant Filters offer several distinct advantages over other filtration methods, particularly in high-precision and high-flow industrial applications. Unlike other filters, which rely on the weight of the liquid to push coolant through the media, our filters use suction to draw coolant through a tightly sealed media bed. This creates a stronger differential pressure, enabling more effective removal of fine particulates such as grinding swarf, metal fines, and sludge. The vacuum system also allows for deeper filter cakes, which improves filtration efficiency and extends media life, reducing operating costs. Additionally, our filters maintain a smaller footprint while handling higher flow rates, making them ideal for space-constrained environments. Their automated media indexing and fault detection systems minimize downtime and ensure consistent coolant clarity, which is critical for maintaining tool life and surface finish in demanding machining operations.
SuperFlush Systems
DE Smith SuperFlush Systems are designed for use in a variety of machining applications. When a process requires a large volume of coolant at high pressure, we can provide a SuperFlush System to wash chips and debris from part cavities during the machining process, provide final debris removal at the end of the machining cycle, or any other purpose.
Chip Processing Systems
D.E. Smith offers a comprehensive range of chip processing and handling equipment designed to streamline metalworking operations and improve shop floor efficiency. Our chip conveyors are engineered to transport metal chips reliably from machining centers to collection or processing points, minimizing downtime and manual handling. For bulk material management, chip loadout systems facilitate efficient transfer and disposal of processed chips, often integrated with automated bin systems. Chip wringers are used to extract residual coolant from metal chips, reducing waste and enabling coolant recovery, while chip shredders break down long, stringy chips into manageable sizes for easier processing and recycling. To maintain optimal coolant temperature and prevent thermal distortion in precision machining, D.E. Smith also provides coolant chillers that integrate seamlessly with filtration and chip handling systems. Additionally, their chip vacuum systems offer high-powered suction for collecting chips and debris from hard-to-reach areas, supporting cleaner work environments and improved machine uptime. These systems are custom-built to meet specific operational needs, ensuring durability, automation, and environmental responsibility across diverse industrial applications.
