【Prolong the Life of Water-Based Coolant with Floating Oil Recovery! Purifying Coolant Fluid Contributes to Quality Improvement and Cost Reduction】
In metalworking processes such as grinding and polishing, floating oil accumulates on the surface of the coolant, forming oil films and scum.
If left untreated, the water-based coolant deteriorates, bacteria proliferate, unpleasant odors develop, and the coolant’s original performance deteriorates, leading to reduced machining accuracy.
However, by properly recovering and removing floating oil, the coolant’s quality can be maintained over a longer period, contributing to cost reduction and improved working conditions.

【If You Experience Any of the Following, Please Contact Us】
- There’s a distinct anaerobic odor at your worksite.
- There’s scum or foam containing fine sludge and floating oil on the coolant surface.
- You’re already using other equipment, but it mostly sucks up coolant instead of effectively removing floating oil.
- You are using a belt-type skimmer, but while it’s not entirely ineffective, the balance between the amount of floating oil and its removal is poor.
- You’re using other methods (disc-type, coalescer, screw-type, float-type) but with low effectiveness.
- The equipment, worksite, and products feel greasy.

【Changes in Coolant After Floating Oil Recovery】
Once sludge and oil are removed, the water-based coolant regains its cleanliness and retains its cooling and cleaning performance.
In actual cases where floating oil was recovered, the following effects have been observed:
- Prevents coolant deterioration, reducing replacement frequency.
- Prevents pump and pipe clogging, ensuring stable machine operation.
- Eliminates odors caused by floating oil, improving the work environment.
- Maintains cutting fluid quality, contributing to stable machining accuracy.
- Reduces stickiness in equipment and surrounding areas, leading to more stable product quality.
- Reduces the frequency of coolant replacement, making work much easier.
- Extends the lifespan of cutting tools and grinding wheels.
- Contributes to increased production output.

【Importance and Benefits of Floating Oil Recovery】
1. Extends Coolant Life
Water-based coolant deteriorates more quickly when floating oil is present, requiring frequent replacement. However, removing floating oil can more than double the coolant’s lifespan.
2. Reduce Maintenance Costs
Accumulated floating oil causes pumps and pipes to clog, increasing maintenance costs. Recovering floating oil significantly reduces equipment failure risks and repair expenses.
3. Prevent Odors and Bacterial Growth, Improves Work Environment
Floating oil becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to coolant decay and unpleasant odors. Removing it helps maintain a comfortable work environment.
4. Improve Machining Precision and Product Quality
Cleaner coolant reduces tool wear and helps stabilize machining precision, which in turn improves product quality.

【Optimize Water-Based Coolant Management with Floating Oil Recovery】
By installing the right floating oil recovery system, you can maintain coolant quality while achieving cost reductions and higher productivity.
- Extends coolant life and reduces replacement costs
- Lowers equipment failure risks and ensures stable operation
- Prevents odors and maintains a comfortable work environment
Why not optimize floating oil management to boost overall factory productivity?
