π With temperatures set to be on the up over the weekend & into next week, here are our #PennineTopTips to help keep your coolant, cool & performing at itβs bestβ¦.
π Check recent coolant monitoring reports for each machine. If there has been a recent problem with bacteria, add 0.2% of biocide to help control bacteria levels as the heat rises.
π Check parameters β dilution & pH levels
π Finally - make sure the coolant is free of tramp oil & swarf - so it can breathe!
We are full of free, useful advice π if you need more tips on how to look after your coolant, give us a π

NEWSFLASH! π¨
Ultrasol X-777 wins 6 month head to head trial against premium competitor brand! πͺ
Back in January we were asked to support a product trial for a leading sub contract cnc machine shop looking to improve coolant quality and technical support.
Two trials were set up on identical Haas VF7 cnc's, one filled with a "premium" competitors brand and one with X-777. After approximately 2 months operators were reporting significant benefits on the machine running X-777 which has continued through to a successful conclusion this week. Towards the end of the summer all 35 machines will be cleaned out and converted over to X-777 and supported by our PROCARE Coolant monitoring service.
Here are the main advantages operators noticed X-777 offered v's the competitors brand;
β
οΈ superior tool life
β
οΈ zero foaming
β
οΈ no sticky residues and outstanding machine cleanliness
β
οΈ no foul odours due to excellent bacterial resistance
β
οΈ fluid remained stable even after a 2 week down period
β
οΈ excellent performance on a wide variety of materials
Data sheets will tell you anything, put us to the test and let us prove just how good our products are.......

Another new addition to our fleet yesterday.....look out for Carlo delivering barrels of Pennine goodness in his shiny new truck! π
How it started v's how it's going!
The PROCARE team were on site to carry out a fluid changeover on a 2000 litre deep hole boring machine on Friday......its fair to say our Ultrasol X-915GD will help to brighten up the Monday blues for the operator this morning!
Suffice to say the operators on the other machines were green with envy π’....ber dum tshhhh....see what we did there?! π
#mondayblues #brightenupyourday #deepholeboring #cnccoolant #instamachinist #cncporn #cncmachinecleaningliquid #ultrasol
Ultrasol X-915GD, our new full synthetic coolant, has many features and benefits including superior cooling and outstanding low foam performance, but it might just help you to save even more money and bring a whole new meaning to "lights out machining" due to its fluorescent "glow in the dark" appearance!
Today we had the unusual "blend" of making up 4000 litres of premixed coolant ready for a customer trial on Friday. The machine holds 2000 litres so 2 x IBC'S were made up at 8% mix for the initial fill with another 2 x IBC'S at 3% for topping up during the trial.
Keep your eyes π peeled for some new "Northern Lights" in the North East next week!

When we arrive on site to carry out a machine clean service, we're often greeted with the immortal words "shouldn't be to bad, only cleaned it out a few months back"
π¨ CODE RED π¨
Thankfully Freddy was on hand to tackle this sump which had lost around 50% capacity due to compacted swarf....aided by some much needed motivational music in the background! π€£
This pristine clean sump will return many benefits now including;
In spec bacteria dipslide results
π
Better tool life π
Improved surface finish π
Reduced risk of skin irritation π
Let us know if you have a "recently cleaned" machine you'd like us to give the PROCARE treatment!

π₯ Product Trial π₯
We were contacted by a company who were having trouble tapping on aluminium castings with their current product. They were also experiencing problems with odour & skin irritation. So we offered a free trial of our Ultrasol X4304 to get them back on track.π
Our PROCARE Engineer arrived on Monday to add system cleaner to the machine & this morning, just 48 hours later, after a switch to Ultrasol X4304 there are already visible improvements!π
Just take a look at these before & after videos! π
If youβre experiencing similar problems then give us a call ~ our technical team are always on hand with FREE advice, plus weβre always happy for you to trial our products, so you can see the results for yourself.

A massive π to Luke for taking the time to post this glowing review of our products and service on LinkedIn last week, it might only be Monday but this has made our week already!

They call me mellow yellow πΆπ‘
A nice shot of two barrels of one of our less common grades, Pencool Ultra S102.
This product is particularly well suited to the machining of yellow metals π‘ due the formulation incorporating a highly effective passivator to reduce the risk of staining whilst also eliminating sticky residues inside the machine.
The product is also suitable for harder make up areas where calcium soaps may be problematic.

When you've got a 12000 litre system to clean....you need a lot of Bioflush System Cleaner AKA "smurf blood" !!!
10 x 25 litres have been added into this central grinding system today ahead of the annual clean out on Thursday. The cleaner will get to work killing off bugs π and fungus π in the system whilst breaking down slime and residues to assist with the cleaning process.
You can see how quickly the product boosts the fluid pH too ensuring the new coolant goes into a clean and sterilie environment.
Adding a system cleaner prior to a fluid change is essential to giving the new coolant the best chance of Maximised sump life.......don't be tempted to cut corners.....you'll end up going round in circles!

Our heavy duty neat cutting oil, Metacut PG working it's magic on this double helical gear β or herringbone gear as it's also known, for a customer in Rotherham. π

Last week our Technical Sales Manager robertdulieu visited customer chevrontechnicalservices an aircraft βmaintenance company, to give their machines the 'Smurf' treatment ahead of a full clean out this week.
After the clean out, they'll be getting all the equipment & training they need to be up & running with PROCARE Self Serv.
Chevron have decided that in-house maintenance is the best option for them. Some machines are often left standing for periods of time, which makes coolant care even more important! π§
But we won't just train them up & leave them to it! Our technical team are always on hand with advice & support, should they need it.

A big Happy 39+1 Birthday to our Marketing Executive, Caroline Lindsay! ππ
A few of the team headed out for a nice spot of lunch at the local Italian this afternoon, followed by a totally unnecessary large slab of cake.
If you do have any queries, orders or technical support requirements if you could hang on until tomorrow that'd be great. π₯±
When our PROCARE Service Engineers visit site, the dipslides taken need to be incubated for 48 hours, meaning it'll be a few days before we get the full monitoring report over to you.
However, other essential maintenance can take place before you receive your report, such as concentration adjustments, tramp oil removal or just making sure the sumps are kept well topped up.
We'll discuss this with you whilst on site, but just incase we miss you, we'll leave this handy little form which outlines the remedial actions required.
All part of our attention to detail.
