Using a coolant filtration system to keep your machine coolant clean is a great way to save money on coolant and disposal costs. Most metalworking shops use these systems for efficiency and to help keep the shop cleaner. However, if your system is old, you may find that it doesn’t work as well as in the past. Replacing your coolant filtration system can help you save money.
Over time, your coolant filtration system may not work as well as it did when it was new. Regular cleaning will help extend the life of the system, but at some point, it will not clean your coolant as thoroughly as before. When this happens, you will find that you’re not able to recycle your coolant as many times before disposal as you can when using a new filtration system.
When this starts to happen, it can be cheaper to simply replace the system than to absorb the costs of having to dispose of your machine coolant more frequently. Because metalworking shops use so much coolant, a severe reduction in how many times the coolant can be recycled can increase cost quickly.
When this begins to be a problem, talk with your dealer about whether there is any sort of professional service that can be performed that will give your system a longer life. In most cases, however, when the system has reached a certain level of wear and tear, replacement is the best option. Once you’ve replaced your system, you will again see your shop recycling coolant many times before disposal.
Your dealer can make other recommendations about how you can keep your shop running as efficiently as possible. With their expertise, your shop can run just as it did when your coolant filtration system was brand new.
