A big Happy 39+1 Birthday to our Marketing Executive, Caroline Lindsay! 🎂🎈

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. 🥱 ...

Keeping tramp oil down to a minimum plays a significant role in keeping bacteria levels under control, prolonging coolant life and reducing the need for biocide additions. All of this means a healthier working environment for the workforce.

Here's a great example of a customer doing just that, using their Freddy Tramp Oil Separator on a 1000 litre sump mazakeurope lathe. The cost of disposal, refill and downtime would be significant if tramp oil wasn't managed on this machine, so by following the advice of our PROCARE reports the customer is helping to maintain a safe working environment whilst maximising coolant sump life.

We have a range of equipment to help you manage tramp oil, designed to suit different machines and budgets. If you'd like some help and support with this drop us a line.......as always our advice is free!

A common question we're asked is "do I have to clean out all of my existing coolant to swap over to yours?"

In most cases you don't HAVE to but obviously any or all performance benefits you might achieve will only be realised once a full clean has been carried out.

To assist with this we can carry out an initial audit to check for compatibility with your existing fluid and assess the condition of the coolant in each machine. This will highlight any significant issues and we can advise on a plan of action to get things on track again.

Wheres Freddy?! 🤷‍♂️

The PROCARE team were out at altradbelle yesterday on a machine clean service. Account Manager robertdulieu told our driver to "leave Fred in the main factory, he's big and orange so I'll find him easily enough"......that would usually be true, but in this case everything that they make at the factory in Sheen is also big and orange! 🍊 🤣

After a play date mixing some cement with his cousins Fred got to work doing what he does best.

This week has seen a nice installation job completed by the PROCARE team. 👊

We were contacted recently by a customer looking to improve the mixing and distribution for their deep hole boring coolant. Due to the logistics of the factory the coolant is stored approx 40 metres away from the machine and was being manually mixed using buckets. This presented issues with manual handling, spillages and inaccurate mixing.

We designed and installed a distribution system for them meaning the coolant could be accurately mixed via a mixtron_srl_official doser and pumped directly to the machine, saving time, money and waste whilst improving health and safety.

The system also incorporates a category 5 break tank with on demand pump ensuring compliance with local water authority regulations.

If you're looking to improve the distribution of your metalworking fluids drop us a line....as always, our help and advice is FREE! 😉

What can we say? Mutton dressed as lamb? Its probably more like Basil Fawlty dressed as Fred!

This guy tried his best to pass himself off as the real deal, but showed his true colours by over filling his belly and throwing up all over the floor. Epic fail. 🤦

With a weeks shutdown next week another new customer has taken the decision to give their workhorses the PROCARE treatment and get them cleaned out and switched over to Ultrasol X-777 👊

Earlier this week our engineers visited to add Bioflush System Cleaner to the sumps in order to kill off the bugs 🐛 and fungus 🍄 growing in their current coolant which has been badly neglected by the previous supplier......its a good job you can't smell through your phone 🤢

We'll also be installing a neat mixing and distribution system for another area of the factory which will be running on a new product which we've developed to help them overcome an issue with a downstream process so keep your eyes 👀 peeled for that next week too.....

Due to ever fluctuating water qualities throughout certain parts of the UK, we now conduct water hardness tests as part of our regular coolant testing process, to ensure the product you're using is suitable.

Water usually makes up 90% or more of in use coolants, so the quality of it is essential for prolonged fluid life.

Issues which may occur if the water quality is different to that recommended by your particular coolant can include;

Excessive foaming
Soap / scum formation
Coolant splitting
Reduced sump life
Flash corrosion of machined parts
Corrosion inside the machine tool

If you're suffering with any of the above drop us a line......despite everything else in the world 🌎 seemingly going up in price, our help and advice remains free! 😊
