Automated fluid recycling systems maximize the service life of tools while lowering operating costs. By Mike Hook, Sales & Marketing Director, PRAB Introduction The metalworking industry, like all manufacturing operations, must contest with several market factors that are difficult if not impossible to control: Escalating materials costs spurred by policy decisions, transportation costs, raw materials shortages, […]
Cutting fluids play a very important role in metalworking by providing lubrication to the working area which decreases the amount of heat generated while cutting—preventing tools from exceeding critical temperature ranges. However, cutting fluid deteriorates over time as it becomes contaminated with tramp oils, metal fines, and bacteria. As it breaks down, it can damage machining tools, pumps, and […]

The ability to recover valuable cutting fluid from metalworking scrap provides manufacturers the ability to reduce new fluid purchases and other related expenses like haul-away and disposal costs. Because the scrap is separated from the fluid the metalworking operation can also improve the value of its scrap going to the recycler. Companies weighing the options when purchasing new capital […]
