The Importance of Machine Coolant Filtration

Today’s machine shops and fabrication services have sophisticated equipment, performing a wide range of processes. Many of these machines are computer operated, and are very expensive to purchase, and maintain. In order to simplify, and improve, the process of machining, coolant and lubrication fluids must be used. This can present a major problem in the way of used fluid. An efficient machine coolant filtration system can provide many benefits to your business. Here are some reasons why.Extend Coolant LifeModern CNC equipment costs continue to escalate, as more-and-more features are added, and technology advances. This makes it very important to keep your equipment as long as possible. The longer it lasts, the greater return you receive on your investment. Keeping shop fluids clean can make a huge difference in the wear-and-tear on your machinery. In fact, in some cases, it can dramatically increase double the life expectancy of your machinery and increase the life of your coolant indefinitely.It’s often the things you cannot see which can cause the most damage to equipment. A good machine coolant filtration system eliminates particles so tiny they can’t be seen. It’s these minuscule pieces of debris which can work like erode valuable parts over time. Eliminate this problem, and you rid yourself of many headaches.Increase UptimeOne of the biggest problems shops face today is downtime. Most shops cannot afford to have backup equipment on hand, so when something breaks down, they have to wait until repairs can be made. This can take hours, days, or even weeks, in some cases. Obviously, this could cause a customer order to be late. Machine coolant filtration helps to eliminate many problems associated with equipment breakdowns.Increased EfficiencyIt’s not efficient to dump your used coolant, and completely replace it; you have to pay for more coolant, and you must pay for a way to properly dispose of the old coolant. Filtering, and cleaning, is a much better solution for both your wallet, and the environment.Not All Machine Coolant Filtration Systems Are the SameFiltering can be done in many ways, but the more efficient your system is, the better your shop will run.
