COOLANT FILTRATION PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN FLUID MANAGEMENT

Coolant filtration systems greatly influence metalworking fluid management programs beyond keeping the liquid clean for better productivity.

Some of the areas where the influence is effective are:

1. Fluid Selection - Higher quality and safer fluids can be used because the longer life due to filtering offers justification.

2. Fluid Consolidation – Cleaner fluids would allow consideration to use the same fluid for other operations and reduce the number of different types of fluids used in the plant.

3. Health and Safety - Clean and quality fluids reduce some of the variables in operator sensitivity issues.

4. Fluid Care - There is less chemical dosing since the filtration function aids in protecting the fluids integrity.

5. Handling - Fewer manhours are consumed in dumping, cleaning and recycling fluids since they are cleaner and last longer.

6. Waste Treatment – Smaller volumes need disposing so treatment costs are lower.

7. Procurement – There are less fluids to buy because of consolidation and/or lower frequency of dumping.

8. Storage – Consolidation and lower usage reduce the need for warehousing space and traffic.
