"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! 🐙🦑
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 💎
We'll add him to our list of recovered items including;
A rat 🐀
A pigeon 🐦
A mobile phone 🤳
A tool box 🧰
A hearing aid 🦻
A wedding ring 💍
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! 🏗
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 🍀
Our trusty Freddy Midi 300 was loaded up on one of the service vans yesterday afternoon ready for an early start 🥱 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......!🪞💎

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 🤧 Metacut PG utilises modern additives producing a product light in colour and very low odour, making for an improved working environment 🤗
If you're struggling to sleep later, just run this hypnotic sound on repeat! 😴
Happy X-777 Anniversary to theukmachinist and the_machinist_dude! 💐
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 🆙️
Zero foaming 🧽
Improved surface finish 🪞
Reduced top up rates ⬇️
Reduced sticky residues 👌
Cleaner machines 💎
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!

📣 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 😫🤦.....the development chemists are still convinced somebody put a small steam train 🚂 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.......😉

It's a beautiful autumnal 🍂🍁 morning here in Sheffield, another 27 tonnes of base oil being pumped into one of our external bulk tanks ready for a busy day of production before a well deserved rest this weekend.
At the other end of the factory, finished goods are being picked ready for despatch, including these 4 drums heading over the hills to Wales 🏴
Happy Friday everyone.......we can see the weekend from here! 🔎👀😊

Ever wondered what happens after our PROCARE Service Engineers take the samples away from your machine shop?
The first couple of pictures show you the scale we measure against after your dipslides have been incubated for the allocated period, and what the HSE directives suggest as follow up actions.
Our recommendations will be derived from these results alongside those measured and observed whilst on site.
If you need help, advice or assistance to get your metalworking fluids under control get in touch........our advice is always free!

Our PROCARE team are on the march early today helping out a new customer to get their 20 cnc machines in to good condition.
The first sump we've come across is this beauty. It was "fully cleaned out" just 2 months ago but the fluid was removed from an access port on the right hand side. They couldn't believe what they'd missed when our team fully removed the sump and cover plates!
After a full clean out with Freddy, refill with Ultrasol X-777 and our PROCARE Alliance monitoring programme implemented this sump will be good to go for 12 months meaning lower fluid usage, reduced waste and reduced downtime. 👊
Their now ex supplier just told them to buy some biocide. Wonder why? 🤔

#PennineTopTip: Keep things clean. Open oil jugs will attract grit, dust & pollen etc - so use sealable jugs. The grit will only end up in one place – your machine.🤦♀️

Despite what "best practice" says, sometimes you've just got to do things the old fashioned way!
Following a recent PROCARE report the 6000 litre sump on this Bennett Aquagrind machine was showing a very weak dilution and needed a full 205 litre drum of coolant to get it out of the 🔴 and back in to the 🟢
But here's the difference. We don't just give advice and leave you to it, we come back and work with you to put things right. We'd sell a lot more coolant and system cleaner if we let this tank go off, but that's just not how we work. We always do what we hope is the right thing, with good old fashioned honesty and integrity.
Sometimes, it's good to do things the old fashioned way.

And you lot think the #fuelcrisis is bad on the forecourts? There's a #trampoil crisis in this machine shop due to Fred and Fred taking all the tramp oil away from the sumps!
Luckily the Tramp Oil Separator runs on air and the Superminor on 240v electric so they shouldn't be fighting at the forecourts anytime soon.
The Tramp Oil Separator is perfect to set up and go, leaving it to work its magic before moving on to the next machine.
The Superminor has the flexibility to skim, filter or carry out full deep cleans.
If your shop would benefit from a free Freddy demo get in touch!

Keep your coolants cool! 🥶
Bacterial activity increases dramatically at temperatures of 25°C and above, so it's vitally important to keep your sump as full as possible in order to allow maximum cooling and heat dissipation.
Here are two good examples from a machine shop, the sample reading 31.6°C (also significant tramp oil) needs fairly regular treatments with biocide to control bacteria levels, whereas the sump showing 22.9°C (with minimal tramp oil) has run for 12 months without any requirement for biocide treatments.
Our mantra for topping up is always "little and often"....please see the link to our website which offers further information regarding this - link in bio! 👌
So there you go......more free advice from Pennine! What are you waiting for.....go and top up your sump! 🪣💦
