At Great Lakes Filters, a division of Acme Mills, we specialize in industrial filtration systems that do more than just filter fluids and air—we help manufacturers enhance uptime, improve efficiency, and meet rigorous safety and compliance standards.
From high-output automotive lines to precision machine shops, a single instance of contamination or clogging can halt operations. That’s where our expertise in industrial filtration comes in.
How We Engineer Smart Filtration for Industry
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every manufacturing process is unique, so we take the time to understand your equipment, fluids, and flow parameters before we design a filtration system that’s tailored to your operation. Whether it’s filtering coolant, cleaning wash water, or capturing airborne particles, we build solutions that perform under pressure.
Our systems support:
- Liquid Filtration – Custom media for water, oils, and harsh chemicals
- Air Filtration – High-efficiency designs for clean, compliant air
- Dust & Particulate Control – Fabrics that improve worker safety and reduce ambient dust
- Technical Fabrics – Engineered materials built to withstand aggressive industrial use
Gravity Bed Filtration: Simple, Powerful, Proven
A core solution we offer is our Gravity Bed Filtration system. It’s especially effective in machining, grinding, and industrial washing processes.
Why Choose Gravity Bed Filtration?
- No Moving Parts – Minimal maintenance, long service life
- Custom Media Options – Cellulose, synthetics, and layered blends
- Extended Fluid Life – Reduces fluid replacement costs and tool wear
- Eco-Friendly – Operates via gravity, not pumps—uses less energy and produces less waste
- Reduced Downtime – Keeps production running longer, with fewer interruptions
Custom Engineering for Complex Filtration Needs
In addition to turnkey systems, we offer full-scale engineering support to help you get the most from your setup. This includes:
- Retrofitting filters into existing systems
- Multi-stage designs with pre-filters and coalescers
- Specialty media sourcing to maximize performance
No matter the challenge—fluid, air, or particulate—we can build a filtration system that fits your operational goals.
