Comprehensive Guide to Metalworking Coolant Management and Solutions

Understanding Metalworking Coolant Challenges and Solutions

#

Cutting fluid, commonly used in machining processes, serves as both a coolant and lubricant. Its primary functions include rust prevention, cleaning, cooling, and lubrication, making it indispensable in cutting tool operations. However, during machining, various oils such as rust inhibitor oil, way lube oil, and other lubricants from equipment can mix with the coolant. This mixture forms a thick layer on the surface of the metalworking fluid, often referred to as tramp oil.

When tramp oil accumulates, the coolant tank becomes an ideal environment for anaerobic bacteria to thrive, leading to rapid fluid deterioration. Deteriorated coolant is characterized by unpleasant odors, rot, foam, and can cause skin allergies for operators. Over time, this not only affects the quality and lifespan of tools and workpieces but also impacts the overall efficiency and safety of the machining process.

Consequences of Rancid Coolant

#

• Decreased machining quality and potential damage to lathe and milling equipment
• Reduced tool life and compromised processing efficiency
• Health risks for operators due to high bacterial content
• Increased downtime for cleaning and replacing coolant
• Higher costs associated with frequent coolant replacement
• Environmental concerns from the disposal of contaminated coolant and wastewater
