Trans-Fil S.R.L. is an Argentine manufacturer of specialized industrial machinery, founded in 1989 in Córdoba. It designs, builds and maintains chip conveyors, industrial washing systems, coolant filtration and fluid treatment equipment, and laser and plasma cutting machinery. Its workshop is located at Francisco de Arteaga 2895, Córdoba, Argentina. Trans-Fil serves over 120 industrial customers across 14 countries —Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, United States, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Spain— primarily in the steel, automotive, oil & gas and machine-tool sectors. The company also provides repairs, retrofitting, scheduled maintenance and custom engineering services.
Design, manufacturing and maintenance of specialized industrial machinery for the metalworking industry.
Each unit is engineered around the actual production process and slots into the existing line without disrupting it.
Transport systems for every chip type and machining setup, from single cells to plant-wide lines. Configurable as hinge, scraper, belt or plastic chain depending on material and flow rate. Heavy-duty build for 24/7 continuous operation.
Conveyor belts with micro-perforated links that separate solids and liquids while parts travel, hitting the moisture-reduction targets that waste-handling and small-batch parts-drying processes require.
Multi-machine systems that evacuate chips from an entire shop floor to a single discharge point. Dozens of machine tools share one transport circuit, eliminating manual handling between stations — frees the crew from repetitive trips and cuts cleanup downtime.
Geometry, width, height, speeds and other parameters tailored to each process and layout. Every unit is sized from the on-site assessment and validated with a 3D drawing before manufacturing. Materials and components are chosen for the specific chip type and coolant.
Continuous pass-through cabins with belt or rotary table for serial production. Configurable cycle of wash, rinse and dry. Integrates into the existing line, syncing load, unload and bath temperature with plant takt.
Multi-purpose manual load-and-unload cabins for parts with varied geometry and short runs where a continuous line isn't justified. Programs selectable from the HMI based on the cleanliness level required.
Belt filters, cyclones and oil skimmers that keep the bath clean and extend fluid life. Cuts detergent-change frequency and water consumption. Simple maintenance with front access to consumables.
Cabinets with touch HMI. Software integrated into the production line and safety system ready for Industry 4.0. Real-time tracking of cycles, alarms and consumption, with remote support over the customer's network.
Gravity filtration with paper or textile cloth. Low operating cost, ideal for water-soluble machining coolants. Automatic cloth advance driven by bath level and rewind of dry residue for simple disposal.
Drums and magnetic bars that remove fine ferrous particles before the main filter, catching the micrometric chips that would otherwise saturate the cloth. Extends consumable life and reduces the solids load reaching the central system.
Centralized pumping, pressurization and temperature-control stations that feed coolant to multiple machines in parallel. Keep flow and temperature stable regardless of how much each station draws. Pressure, conductivity and level monitoring with configurable alarms.
Belt skimmers and coalescing separators that remove tramp oil from the coolant so the fluid can be reused. Extends coolant life several times over and lowers waste-treatment costs. Recovered oil is separated for disposal or reuse.
High-precision laser cutting service for sheet up to 12.7 mm (1/2 inch). Carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Tight tolerances and clean edges, ready for downstream welding or bending.
Plasma cutting service for sheet up to 25.4 mm (1 inch). Especially cost-effective at the thicknesses where laser is no longer the right tool. Good edge quality with high throughput.
CNC press brake for bends up to 3 m. Programmed from 3D drawings, with a die library covering varied thicknesses and radii. High repeatability for serial production.
Industrial capacity, decades of experience and an extensive supplier network let us produce metalworking parts in batches with fast turnaround. From customer-validated prototypes to recurring production runs. We also handle assembly, welding and surface treatments when required.
Many plants discard coolant once it gets dirty — after it has already worn the tooling, damaged the pump and stopped the line. Filtration, chip transport and washing aren't accessories: they protect the assets you've already paid for.
The lubricant loads up with metal fines and tramp oil. The degraded fluid lubricates worse and accelerates roll and die wear; marks appear on the tube surface and scrap climbs.
Centralized filtration + magnetic separation + oil recovery.
Protects forming tooling · multiplies fluid life.
Chips build up and the fines recirculate in the coolant; way-lube contaminates it further. The result: tool wear, damage to pumps and spindles, and stoppages to clean by hand.
Centralized chip transport + belt filter + magnetic separator.
Longer tool life · fewer stoppages · clean coolant.
Fine abrasive swarf is nearly invisible, but it ruins the finish and wears the wheel if it isn't taken out of the fluid. Tolerance drifts batch to batch.
Fine filtration (belt or paper) + high-efficiency magnetic separation.
Stable finish · longer wheel life · clear coolant.
Parts reach assembly, welding or paint with oil and chips still on them. Manual washing is inconsistent and becomes a bottleneck on the line.
Industrial washer (pass-through, rotary or cabinet) with integrated filtration and PLC control.
Repeatable cleanliness · higher throughput · longer bath life.
Typical ranges in installations with proper treatment. Results depend on the process — we quantify them during the on-site assessment.
