This filter element (Part No. LKFH-010068-0) is designed specifically for the cooling water systems of DISCO dicing saws. Constructed from melt-blown polypropylene (PP), it effectively removes silicon debris, abrasive particles, and other suspended solids from the dicing water. By maintaining the cleanliness of the cooling water and ensuring a stable flow rate, it helps prevent nozzle clogging, abnormal pressure drops in the water circuit, and potential wafer damage (scratches) caused by stray particles. DISCO Corporation recommends selecting a filtration rating based on the dicing blade grit size: 0.5–1 µm for fine-grit blades, 1–3 µm for medium-grit blades, and 10–15 µm for coarse-grit blades. Insufficient filtration can lead to the recirculation of fine debris, while excessive filtration may cause premature clogging and necessitate frequent replacements. As a consumable item, the filter should be replaced whenever a decrease in flow rate, an abnormal pressure differential, or fluctuations in dicing quality are observed. This is an original, in-stock component featuring clean filter media and intact, well-sealed end caps. It is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, allowing for immediate installation and use. Please verify the compatibility with your specific machine model by consulting the equipment parts list.
