Coolant filtration saves money

CLEAN COOLANT/WASH FLUID SAVES £££’S

Let LUBRISERV show you how to make money while improving the environment by liquid cleaning !

The Impact of Coolant and Process fluids

In the metal working industry the use and costs of coolant needs special attention. It has been said that the purchase of coolants normally only represents 1% of the company purchases but it affects more than 80% of the manufacturing costs!

The direct impact is on:

The operator

The machine

The work piece

The pumps and tools

The inside and outside environment

The Total Cost of Coolants

In order to establish a correct fluid cleaning system, you need to know your total costs for coolant. It is not only the purchase price and quantity of coolants which is important but a number of other contributory factors

• Purchase cost of coolant        - Price and quantity

• Handling cost of coolant        - Storing, filling and topping up, measurement and controls

• Machine downtime                                - Problems with coolant and coolant maintenance

• Quality cost                             - Rejects, surface and dimension

• Wear of                                   - Machine, pumps and tools

• Disposal cost of coolant         - Handling and disposal charges

An efficient fluid cleaning system

• Reduces costs for coolant

• Reduces the wear on tools and pumps

• Reduces labour costs

• Reduces maintenance costs

• Improves parts quality

• Improves working conditions

• Improves environment

Analysing requirement

There is no single universal solution! Selection of system and products will be individual and based on specific conditions.

Filtration “Removing solids”

Filters remove the fine particles from the liquid

LUBRISERV have vast experience and in depth knowledge of filtration  and can offer the right solution for you.

The products have been designed for use either stand alone with individual machine tools, in multiples for groups

of machines or in large central systems.

Separation “Tramp oil and water”

Tramp oil is the accumulation of oils, (in the coolant or wash water), that leak from the machine or the washed off

of components.

LUBRISERV’s range of separators effectively remove tramp oils and thus achieve long life of coolant or wash chemicals

and prevent the harmful effects of these oils.

LUBRISERV can offer a full range of separation equipment, both stationary and mobile units.

Recycling “To extend life of fluids”

The principle of a coolant recycling system is to serve a number of machine tools for the removal of tramp oil and solids from the coolant or wash water. This can be done automatically by linking the machines via a pipe work system to the recycling unit. LUBRISERV’s systems can be designed from minimal flow to thousands of litres per minute.

Ultrafiltration “Reduces disposal costs”

LUBRISERV offers two types of machines to either:

• Recycle wash waters or coolants (at the machine or centrally)

• Minimising the waste volume by up to 90% by extracting the water phase for disposal to drain

Either the ultrafiltration or the evaporator process are used depending on application.

Concept and Approach

Coolant and process water problem can be addressed by basically three kinds of concepts:

Name                                      Characteristics

1. Stand alone         One product            One machine          Full flow

2. Central system    One system             Several machines   Full flow

3. Dialysis system   One system             Several machines   Partial flow

The selection will depend upon:

• Size of operation and number of machines

• Type of liquid and number of liquids in use

• Costs and budget constraints
