Configure equipment for the process and metal mix

Combustion-engine, EV, and tube-mill operations produce different contaminant loads and require different coolant-management systems.

  • Internal combustion

  • Electric vehicle

    EV battery & motor

    Battery housings (aluminum), busbars (copper), motor laminations (silicon steel).

    Battery and motor machining produces mixed ferrous and non-ferrous particulate. Aluminum housings, copper busbars, and silicon-steel laminations require filtration stages matched to the metal mix and downstream cleanliness requirements.

System roles

Match the system to the operation

Automotive component machining uses C.R.O.S.S. for central coolant recycling. Automotive tube-mill lines use TMCRS for real-time mill-coolant filtration.

  • Component cells & EV machining

    C.R.O.S.S.

    2–25 GPM · 120–1,500 GPH

    Central, batch, or hybrid deployment supports shop-wide coolant recycling for component machining facilities. Final sizing follows coolant volume and required throughput. Estimate simple payback from quoted investment and current fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance costs.

    TMCRS

    Engineered to mill flow

    Permanently integrated for real-time filtration at the flow rate required by the mill, with recovered oil at 2% or less water. Exhaust, structural, and ride-control tube lines.

Multi-plant operations

Standardize equipment, process control, and ownership support

A common equipment specification can simplify training, replacement parts, maintenance planning, and performance expectations across multiple facilities.

Process-control requirements may include defined coolant concentration, contamination limits, inspection records, and maintenance controls. C.R.O.S.S. mixes concentrate and water at the required concentration and operates at 99% or greater uptime to support consistent coolant management.

Application questions

Automotive coolant-management considerations

  • 01

    Is this for vehicle coolant or machining coolant?

    Machining coolant. EdjeTech filters and recycles the metalworking fluid used while cutting automotive and EV components. The thermal-management coolant that circulates in a vehicle or a battery pack is a different industry and not what these systems handle.

  • 02

    Can one system handle aluminum, copper, and steel on the same line?

    Magnetic separation removes ferrous fines at 98%, while aluminum and copper require media filtration such as a paper bed. Mixed-metal applications may use magnetic separation ahead of media filtration. An engineer determines whether the filtration is standalone or integrated with the broader coolant-recycling arrangement.

    Review paper-bed filtration →
  • 03

    How is a system sized for a tier-2 or tier-3 component shop?

    C.R.O.S.S. serves component-machining facilities that need shop-wide coolant recycling. Models process approximately 2 to 25 GPM and are sized by coolant volume, required throughput, contaminant load, service schedule, and facility layout. Automotive tube mills use TMCRS.

    Review C.R.O.S.S. sizing →
  • 04

    Can equipment be standardized across multiple plants?

    Yes. EdjeTech can evaluate a common equipment specification, replacement-parts plan, and support approach while accounting for differences in process, coolant, contaminant load, and required flow at each facility.
