Product catalog summary
Handling and Care of Water-Miscible Coolants
System Cleaning and Preparation:
  • Ensure absolute cleanliness before filling or refilling the system. Clean the cutting fluid tank and machine thoroughly, removing all chips, swarf, sludge, and residues.
  • Add system cleaner to the old emulsion as per recommended dosage, circulate, then drain the system.
  • Clean the machine with a high-pressure spray and rags, and remove residual fluid for waste disposal.
  • Fill the machine with diluted fresh emulsion (at least 1% concentration) and circulate for at least 30 minutes, then remove for waste disposal.
  • Fill the machine with fresh emulsion at the recommended concentration.
Water Quality and Mixing:
  • Water quality, including chloride content, hardness, and pH, significantly affects cutting fluids and machine components.
  • Chloride content should be no more than 25 mg/l. Ideal water hardness for most products is 5–15° dH.
  • Mixing temperatures for concentrate and water should be between 10°C and 30°C.
  • Use a Jetmix or Mini-Jetmix unit for a homogeneous emulsion. Avoid using compressed air or water jets for mixing.
Operation and Maintenance:
  • Regularly check parameters such as concentration and pH value to ensure optimal cutting fluid performance.
  • Maintain the tank full by frequent topping up to ensure stable machining conditions.
  • Remove tramp oil using an Air Skimmy suction unit or skimmer, and use a good filtration system.
  • Keep a monitoring log of all measurements, and check central systems daily and individual machines weekly.
Equipment and Accessories:
  • Standard service kits include test strips for measuring pH value, water hardness, and nitrite content.
  • Air Skimmy vacuum devices remove tramp oils and are maintenance-free.
  • Jetmix emulsion mixers prepare homogeneous emulsions, essential for ongoing emulsion stability.
  • Refractometers provide fast and easy measurement of cutting fluid concentration.
Certifications:
  • Certified to ISO 9001/14001/21469 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

Before filling Water quality Before filling or re-filling the system, absolute cleanliness is essential. Thoroughly clean the cutting fluid tank and the machine. Ensure to remove all chips, swarf, sludge and other residues. – dd system cleaner to the old emulsion as per A the recommended dosage. Then work with this mixture so that the cleaner can circulate around the system. – rain the system.

Measures during operation Cutting fluid emulsion mainly comprises water. The water quality (chloride content, hardness and pH) varies widely by source, region and ­ country. It has significant effect on cutting fluids, machine parts and components. Monitoring Concentration Keep the concentration within the recommended range. This ensures optimally effective cutting fluid for best machining performance, corrosion protection, minimal foaming and long-term stability. Topping-up frequency Keep the tank full as far as possible by frequent topping up. This maintains constant emulsion conditions and...
