Two items that have worked great. 1) Paint straining bag - sold to be put in a 5 gal (18-20L) bucket then the paint is poured in to about 80% capacity then the bag is lifted out taking any paint "skin" or clumps with it. We made a large holder - much like a oversized coffee filter basket to allow max usable surface area. We use this when draining the coolant tanks for scheduled maintenance.
2) Tee-shirt silk screen material - comes on a large roll - cut huge squares of this and lay it over the coarse top screen in the coolant tanks - catches all but the most fine silt. However on some jobs they may require cleaning once per shift. We added an overflow drain that allows coolant that has built up over 2"above the filter to return directly to the main tank. Normally any build up drains completely while parts art being changed between cycles. This is in a Huge Mori Seiki SV-50B with dual high capacity pumps.
