Our services include coolant monitoring, machine cleaning, lubrication surveys, sample analysis, product rationalisation and bespoke blending
#PennineTopTip: As the temperature starts to drop, if your coolant is stored below 5 degrees C there is an increased risk of frost, causing irreversible damage to the emulsifiers, which would then prevent the product from mixing properly.

Another busy morning today with all the blend vessels in action.
The first two have passed QC and are being pumped in to IBCs ready for despatch; 10000 litres of deep hole boring oil and 3000 litres of a bespoke process oil for the plastics industry.
At the other end of the factory the small packs are being picked ready for delivery to customers across the UK π¬π§
Thank you to all our customers regardless of whether you're buying 25 litres or 25000 litres for keeping us so busy! π

Great job completed by correct_choice_sheffield last week replacing the windows and doors on our offices.
In an industry tarnished by cowboys and con men these guys are making waves by doing things differently; no 3 hour visit, ringing the boss to see if we can squeeze a bit more discount as its a nice sunny day or any of that BS π©
Quick efficient site visit, quotation emailed, no hassle and no pressure. Brilliant communication throughout and a great team of friendly and experienced fitters.
Delivered on everything they promised, thanks for a job well done, we've got a nice warm office just in time for the cold snap! π₯Ά π‘β
No messing about at bernard_holmes_precision getting their new Mixtron dosing pump set up and installed.
This now allows them to fill directly in to their cell of Matsura CNCs with Pencool Ultra S430 rather than filling up old buckets and drums, saving time β³ and eliminating manual handling π They've even installed a timing device to prevent overfilling and floods! π±π¦
Nice work guys! π

increased tool life
β
reduced smoking
β
prolonged coolant life
β
cleaner machines
The units are manufactured in the UK π¬π§ and are suitable for most small to medium sized machines.
The units are competitively priced at Β£345 but we are offering a further 10% off these units for the remainder of November.....so get your tramp oil under control for just Β£310.50!
To order simply message us on here or email info@penninelubricants.co.uk quoting reference #novemberskim

How it started v's how it's going!
Last week we showed you this shocking tramp oil "wart" which was about to get the PROCARE treatment.....fast forward one week and the difference speaks for itself after Freddy and the team got to work! π§½πͺ
Sump cleaning isn't a job many people relish, done poorly you'll be doing it again sooner than you'd like, done properly you'll be good for up to 12 months and possibly longer.
If your machines have fallen into a bit of a state, get in touch for details of our machine cleaning service and how it could help you.......as always, our help and advice is free.

"It's just slideway oil, it's all the same, right?" Well clearly not!
People often assume that all machine tool lubricants are the same, if it says slideway 220 then it's all good. The sample on the right is a competitors 220 grade slideway oil v's the Pennine 220 on the left.
First of all, there's a significant difference in colour. Now, we can't comment on how the competitor grade is made, but what we can say is our products are manufactured from 100% virgin base oils meaning a clear and bright finished product.
Secondly, our Slideway TX range incorporate tackiness additive to increase oil film strength on slideways offering maximum protection and reduced wear, eliminate "stick slip" or table judder and reduce run/wash off and therefore minimise consumption.
So....hands up if you think its all just the same?! π€

How about this horror show our PROCARE team came across at a new customer yesterday.......a beautiful cauldron of Halloween nastiness.......have you ever seen a bigger tramp oil wart in your life......worse than anything on a witches nose π§ββοΈπ€’
Fortunately this witches brew got the Bioflush treatment πͺ and will be fully cleaned out and smelling of roses πΉ (well metaphorically) on Monday.

It's great to receive feedback like this from our customers π
"With Pennine's help, over the past 2 to 3 years we have started performing our own Coolant testing. We presented our test results & records during our last ISO9001 audit & the auditor was more than pleased with them, recommending that we move to fortnightly testing apposed to weekly. This has been possible not only with Pennine's products, but also the help & guidance of Bob & Tony."

We've come across some weird and wonderful things when carrying out machine cleans but this funky Octopus like slick is one of our favourites! ππ¦
No worries though, Freddy gulped up all 6 arms and 2 legs, the ink and slime he'd created and left the sump sparkling clean π
We'll add him to our list of recovered items including;
A rat π
A pigeon π¦
A mobile phone π€³
A tool box π§°
A hearing aid π¦»
A wedding ring π
What have you recovered from your sump?!

Today we wish a fond farewell to Kirk Sarjeant, one of our warehouse operatives, who is moving on to pastures new after almost 15 years service with us!
Kirk has a real passion for motorsport so is following his dreams by moving to a new job as a mobile crane driver! π
Kirk was heavily involved in the design and layout of our new warehouse when we relocated last year and we wish him all the very best for his new job.
Good luck Kirk π
Our trusty Freddy Midi 300 was loaded up on one of the service vans yesterday afternoon ready for an early start π₯± down to Gloucester this morning.
2 #mazak CNCs will be getting the full treatment today before setting up another trial of Ultrasol X-777 ready for the customer to evaluate its performance on aluminium 6082 T6 as the current coolant they use causes staining on this particular material.
Mirror finish incoming......!πͺπ

They say patience is a virtue.......especially true when gear cutting!
This particular application is using one of our popular neat cutting oils, Metacut PG.
Unlike many traditional gear cutting oils which contain high levels of active sulphur making them dark and rather pungent π€§ Metacut PG utilises modern additives producing a product light in colour and very low odour, making for an improved working environment π€
If you're struggling to sleep later, just run this hypnotic sound on repeat! π΄
Happy X-777 Anniversary to theukmachinist and the_machinist_dude! π
This week marks 12 months since the Smurf Blood was retired at jkp_engineering and replaced with our flagship coolant, Ultrasol X-777.
Since switching over products, Tom and Rob have noticed;
Increased tool life ποΈ
Zero foaming π§½
Improved surface finish πͺ
Reduced top up rates β¬οΈ
Reduced sticky residues π
Cleaner machines π
It's fair to say, like true Yorkshire men, they were initially sceptical of just how much a high performance coolant can aid the production process and improve the working environment, but they are both now fully paid up members of the X-777 fan club!
If you think we can help you improve the coolant in your factory drop us a line......our advice and help is always free!

π£ BLOOPER ALERT!
We all love a success story, but sometimes things don't quite go as planned......
This development product ticked all the boxes on paper and in lab tests, so the next step was a real life machine trial.......it lasted all of 6 hours before it was pulled π«π€¦.....the development chemists are still convinced somebody put a small steam train π in the machine!
This video is around 5 years old now, the product in question was tweaked and today is one of our top selling soluble coolants.....if at first you don't succeed.......π
