As if using Ultrasol X-777 for machining aluminium wasn`t enough of a treat in itself, you can now see all of the magic happening by using one of the genius @insight_kb Clear Screens!

These magical discs repel water based coolants, so you can keep your 👀 on the job and the beauty you`re creating!

The best ideas are always the simple ones!

How do you assess Tramp Oil? 🤔

Tramp oil assessment is the least scientific & most subjective part of standard testing.

HSE guidance is to maintain it at no more than 2%, but we really couldn`t tell you what 2% looks like, so here are some things to consider…

👀 Visual Check:
• How much of the sump surface can you see?
• Is the coolant still or turbulent?
• Has the machine been running or settling?
• Is the emulsion creamy?
• Does the refractometer show a crisp or hazy line?

🔍 What Can You Infer?
• Are sump return channels filled with oil?
• Are the covers thick with oil?
• Is the machine old & leaky or new & well-maintained?
• Are oil removal methods in place & effective?
• Any recent spills or pipe bursts?

After pulling it all together, classify the sump as Light, Moderate or Heavy in tramp oil ~ or if it`s effectively clear.

📸 Above is a sump we’d call clear: no visible oil, clean emulsion, a crisp refractometer reading & an active skimmer.

How does your sump look? Drop a comment! 👇

Not all things furry are cute 🤢

As part of our PROCARE Fluid Management service we routinely conduct dipslide tests for fungal spores, moulds & bacteria. 🦠

Bacteria will always make itself known, but fungal spores & moulds, can be sneaky little blighters & like to stay undetected. 😏

However, this sample clearly shows there are issues hidden within the coolant. 👀 Fungal spores can be from a wide range of sources... your water source, a shutter door opening letting them flood in, contaminating your sump & breeding around your machine.

Before adding a fungicide to the sump to tackle the issue, always have a good look over the machine sump & lines & physically remove any contaminants that are visible.

If you need a bit of advice with maintaining your coolant, get in touch!

Our advice is always free! 📞

What in The War Of The World`s have we unearthed here?! 🫣👽👾🐛

Have you ever seen a more disgusting mass of fungal growth in a coolant sump like this ever before?! 🍄

The issue here is that the coolant tank is outside of the main factory and is subject to extremes of temperature, creating a perfect incubation room for fungus to thrive. Added to that, this particular factory is very close to a local canal, and local water courses can often increase the risk of airborne fungal spores finding their way into places you don`t want them to!

If you find severe fungal infections in your sumps, it`s important to remove as much of the physical mass first so that live fungal spores are exposed before treatment with a suitable fungicide or system cleaner.

👆 Coolant Flotsam is usually made up of fine metal particles, plastic turnings, dust, scale & residue from material being machined.

These bacteria life-rafts will degrade coolant, block filters & also wear pumps prematurely. Held in suspension by tramp oil & you have an abrasive paste increasing the risk of dermal abrasion & compromising finish & tooling performance. 🤦‍♂️

A @freddyproductsltd * unit will clear this in just a few seconds, filtering out the solids so they can go into your waste & recycling stream, not into your coolant stream.

* Other vacuums are available, but they`re not a Freddy & they`re not Orange. 👎
