Transforming CNC Coolant Tank Cleaning for Modern Manufacturing #
Streamlined Cleaning for CNC Coolant Tanks #
Manual cleaning of CNC machine coolant tanks can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Foodie Chip and Sludge Removal Machine from HC Feng offers an advanced solution designed to efficiently clean CNC coolant tanks, helping your machinery operate at optimal performance. By automating the cleaning process, Foodie not only saves time and labor but also extends the lifespan of your tools and equipment.
Enhancing Tool Life and Machine Performance #
During machining, metal chips and sludge accumulate in the coolant, acting as abrasives that can significantly reduce tool life. Regular removal of these particulates and replacement of coolant is essential for maintaining CNC machine efficiency. The Foodie CNC fluid cleaner utilizes a high-power pneumatic pump and suction spout to safely and effectively remove coolants, chips, and swarf. This reduces cleaning times dramatically, allowing you to focus on production. Its mobile design and optional filter accuracy make it suitable for a wide range of CNC machinery.
Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective Solution #
HC Feng is dedicated to environmental protection and sustainable development. The Foodie Chip and Sludge Removal Machine supports these goals by promoting a circular economy, reducing carbon emissions, and offering an environmentally friendly cleaning process. The air pressure-driven system eliminates the need for electrical power, enhancing safety and reducing energy consumption. This machine is ideal for cleaning water tanks in machining centers, CNC lathes, and turning machines, quickly removing metal debris and sludge so that cutting fluid can be fully recycled. This not only saves time and costs compared to manual cleaning but also ensures reliable and efficient CNC operation.
Key Features #
- No need for CNC machine downtime during cleaning
- Filters all types of chips, including non-magnetic materials
- Compatible with both neat oil and water-soluble coolants
- Air-driven, lightweight (56kg), and vertical structure
- Airtight, fast-drying feature for convenient chip recycling
- Optional filtration accuracy (380 μm, 180 μm, 830 μm)
- Effectively reduces coolant replacement frequency and labor costs
Simplified Cleaning Procedures #
Conventional coolant tank cleaning involves multiple steps:
- Powering off the machine
- Uninstalling the tank
- Moving the tank to a workable area
- Draining all fluids
- Removing all sludge
- Refilling with new coolant
- Adjusting concentration
- Reinstalling the tank
With Foodie, maintenance becomes much simpler and more efficient, minimizing costly disposal and downtime. The cleaner is effective for both water-soluble and neat oil machining, and can filter aluminum, copper, plastic, steel, iron, or brass chips from a 300-liter tank in just 2 minutes, leaving only 5% residuals.
Pump and Maintenance #
Foodie is equipped with a double diaphragm pneumatic pump, featuring no electric parts for safe, long-lasting operation. There are no overload or spark issues, and the pump delivers powerful, efficient performance for removing particulates from coolant tanks. The washable and reusable stainless steel filter baskets mean there are no consumables required. Maintenance is straightforward, with an openable front door for easy access and part replacement.
