Maximize coolant effectiveness and longevity, enabling companies to improve productivity and reduce disposal costs.

Metalworking Fluid Recycling Equipment from Eriez

Adequately managing coolants in metalworking applications such as machining, gear cutting, die casting, stamping, and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), is essential to protect machine performance and maintain high-quality finishes on metal parts.

Machines used in metalworking applications rely on coolant to keep the tool and product cool, reduce friction, and carry away metal particles and shavings. If metalworking machines are used with dirty or contaminated coolants, tool life can be reduced and cause increased maintenance costs. In some cases, contaminated coolants can cause costly production downtime due to particles causing abrasive wear in pumps, valves, and other machine parts. Stagnant, contaminated coolant can also become a breeding ground for bacteria, molds and fungi, causing foul odors, contaminating air quality for employees, which can cause skin irritations, respiratory problems, and other allergic reactions.

Maintaining coolant quality with coolant recycling equipment from Eriez can maximize your productivity, minimize your coolant costs, and provide a healthier work environment, all of which saves expenses and boosts productivity in the long run.

Sump Cleaners, Magnetic Chip & Parts Conveyors, and Magnetic Coolant cleaners effectively remove solids from coolant, such as metal shavings, fragments, and chips.

Centrifuges, Coalescers, and Oil Belt Skimmers effectively remove unwanted oils, known as tramp oils, from coolant. These tramp oils are common and typically found as machine lubricants, hydraulic oils, bearing grease, and other lubricants on raw materials.

Fluid recycling systems, like the innovative Eriez SumpDoc, maintain high-quality coolant conditions with the ability to remove tramp oils to less than 0.5% emulsified tramp oil content. And these coolant recycling systems can also remove solid contaminants down to 2 microns in size.

Additionally, Eriez offers a line of Fluid Concentration Control products, which ensure your coolant is not too lean, sacrificing essential coolant qualities and simultaneously ensures it’s not too rich, wasting costly coolant unnecessarily.
