Benefits of Filtration Systems
Above all, the cutting oil management is affected by costs incurred by baths maintenance.
Observations about existing client systems
Inefficient watering tanks
- Poor filtration = over-concentration of pollutants, limited tank life
- Filter seals too close = increased maintenance renewal costs of filter elements
- Liquid volume shortage = low turn over (premature degradation of chemical agents of oil -> limited liquid duration)
- Poor level controls = liquid shortages, overflows
No control of bath concentrations
- Oil addition at short intervals = Excess evaporation (oil fume pollution, no automatic control of oil replacement)
- Lack of concentration control (over-dosage, high water consumption)
Presence of untreated oils from external sources
- Oxidation of tanks = tank saturation, limited life expectancy of tanks
- Bacteria development
- Operator security issues
Oil changes at short intervals
- Machine stoppages
- Oil top-ups
- Cleaning, treatment, disinfection...
Disposal costs of oil channels
Replacement costs of cutting oils
- Top-up concentration / New bath creation...
Lack of liquid agitation during long stoppages
- Oxidation of tanks = tank saturation, limited life expectancy of tanks
- Bacteria development
- Disposal of superficial oil
- Operatior security and comfort
Lack of tank cooling systems
- Variation of sides geometrically manufactured
- Tolerances non-maintained
Operator security and comfort
- Improvement of operator working conditions
- Bacteria development, ambiant air pollution, maintenance...
Cost Reduction
- Maintenace costs caused to machine parts (Pump fittings / joints / hydraulic and mechanical parts / channel wear, protection of rotating joints...)
Unplanned production stoppage costs
- One installation per tank = one maintenance
Quality of treatment related to watering
- Part wear, Ra not respected...
