How clean coolant reaches the machine

C.R.O.S.S. supports portable coolant transfer, optional clean-coolant piping, or a combination of both. Facility layout and operating requirements determine the configuration.

Coolant recycling configurations and transfer methods
ConfigurationHow it worksMore information
Clean-coolant pipingCentralThe optional CRS distributes clean coolant at 35 to 40 PSI through facility piping. C.R.O.S.S. maintains clean coolant for immediate use 24/7/365 at 99% or greater uptime.Central
No central pipingBatchA portable unit carries dirty coolant to the system and clean coolant back, machine to machine. The configuration avoids central coolant piping and floor trenching.Batch
Mixed facilityHybridUse clean-coolant piping for dense cells and portable transfer for outlying machines. Both sections use one C.R.O.S.S. recycling system.Hybrid

Select equipment by process requirement

Contaminant type, required flow, fluid condition, and maintenance demand determine the appropriate equipment.
