Fluid Concentration & Control Equipment
Eriez Fluid Concentration Control
Tight concentration control ensures that metalworking fluid never becomes too lean or too rich.
Lean fluid causes rust, bacterial infection, and poor tool life while the rich fluid causes eye, nose, or skin irritation for the operator.
Automatic Proportioner Pumps
The Eriez positive-displacement Coolant Proportioner provides consistent concentration at all times despite varying water pressures or fluid levels in supply containers. Because it is driven by the plant’s water supply pressure, it also can be used to supply properly mixed fluid through overhead piping to the tools without using a booster pump.
Features:
- Concentration control
- Reduces concentrate waste
- Easy-to-install
- Reliable and consistent
- Nonelectrical
- Adjustable
Coolant Mixers
Dual Ratio Mixer
This Venturi style coolant mixer automatically mixes two different metalworking coolants or one coolant with two different ratios.
Now you can set up one mixer to supply both a fresh charge concentration and a leaner concentration, all in an easy-to-use design to reduce operator error. Once set up, the operator simply pushes the button for the desired concentration to fill containers with mixed fluid.
Features:
- Pressure regulation eliminates concentration variances
- E-Gap Backflow Protection (ASSE 1055B Approved)
- Concentrate suction and discharge hoses
Drum Top Mixer
The Eriez Drum Top Mixer is a compact, easy-to-use Venturi mixer for combining water with coolant concentrates.
Water, jetting through the unit, creates a vacuum that siphons concentrate from the drum. A needle valve allows for infinite adjustments across the mixture range. Available in 3 and 10 GPM versions, with mixing range adjustable from 1% to 20%, these units have all-metal construction for maximum durability.
Features:
- 51 mm (2″) NPT sliding-bung drum adapter
- Discharge hose assembly
- Inlet shutoff valve with garden hose thread adapter
Manual & Digital Refractometers
Quickly determine the concentration of metalworking coolants and cleaners, heat treating fluids, water-based hydraulic fluids, and even plating baths. This simple, yet rugged device is portable and requires no batteries. Its large, easy-to-read scale is available in two ranges 0 to 10 Brix, and 0 to 32 Brix.
Maintaining the proper concentration in industrial fluids is extremely important in order to maximise the performance and value of the fluid. If the fluid is too lean, tool life and fluid life can drop dramatically. If the fluid is too rich, you'll lose money on replacement costs.
