Another week over and another new customer converted over!
Hats off to our PROCARE Service Team for another 𦣠mammoth effort this week cleaning out some seriously badly contaminated sumps and putting the @freddyproductsltd Midi 300 through its paces yet again.....I think Fred and the team will enjoy a couple of well deserved beers π» tonight!
Due to the very hard water at this site the machines were filled with Ultrasol X-535 which is the hard water variant of our highly popular X-777.
Cheers to the weekend everybody!

Dunphy Combustion approached us last year as they wanted to bring control of their metalworking fluids π§ in house & train all operators π¨π© to be able to identify coolant problems & implement any necessary remedial actions.
Recent pH readings had been inconsistent & operatives were not able to accurately control the dilution rate of their coolant with their current mixer unit. π€
Read how things have changed since Dunphy became a PROCARE Alliance customer, link to case study in our bio. βΆβΆ

#PennineTopTip: Typically, in use metalworking fluids contain 90-95% water. Always ensure you test the make up water for calcium content beforehand to ensure compatibility with your chosen fluid.

Our PROCARE Service Team came across this beautiful fungal π mass today whilst carrying out a clean out for a new customer.
No problem for our Freddy Midi 300 though, he thought it was a tasty mushroom omelette and ate it whole π
If you come across a fungal growth when cleaning out a machine, we would advise putting in a fungicide treatment with the new charge of coolant, as the live spores may still be present even though you've removed the dead mass.

You may remember back in December that Billy from @heritage_engineering_ltd was so impressed with our Pencool Ultra S325 after trialling it that he said the only thing that could make it any better was if we wrapped up his first order and put bows on it.......so we did!
The product continues to impress and the next barrel is out for despatch today......keep your π peeled next week to see what this one is going to look like.
Just a bit of fun for a Friday and as usual, the personal touch we can offer!

If you live in a hard water area you may have noticed this before.....Hard water soaps forming in your coolant tanks. This is when the additives in the coolant react with the water and form insoluble calcium soaps. This can seriously compromise coolant quality and shorten sump life, not to mention the mess you can end up with in your machine.
This new customer will be switching over to Ultrasol X-535 next week, part of our range of high performance hard water stable soluble coolants. Looks like our PROCARE team are in for a fun time slicing through this! π€

John Andrews Precision Engineering got in touch as over recent months the volume of coolant π§ they had been using had increased dramatically, in turn increasing π° costs. Skin irritation had also become a problem for some machine operatives. π

They say "a bad workman always blames his tools" well we guess a good workman praises his tools.
Our PROCARE Service Team have cleaned out and refilled 14 large machine tools this week, most with 500-600 litre sumps which is no mean feat. The job was made all the easier using the powerful and ultra reliable Freddy Midi 300.
Get it in situ, plug it in, power it up and go. Not once did they have to mess about adjusting float switches, motors or making sure the wind was blowing gently in a south east direction like with other cheaper vacs on the market.
We have high standards for any suppliers or partners we work with and need to know the quality, service and support matches that of our own products, Freddy never fail to deliver.

And that's a wrap! π¬
A mammoth effort from our PROCARE team working up in Scotland π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ this week.
They have cleaned out and refilled 14 machine tools in 3 days. All machines on site are now running on our ever popular Ultrasol X-777 which will be looked after and monitored by us as part of the PROCARE Alliance service the customer has taken up, ensuring they meet HSE requirements.
We'll be back on site soon to carry out a series of coolant monitoring training sessions for their employees aimed at getting maximum value from our fluid and maintaining the highest levels of safety for the machinists working with it.

Triggers broom! π§ΉAs our week of machine cleans draws to a close tomorrow we felt it was time to pay credit to Triggers Broom!
It has been invaluable all week shifting dirt and grime from some badly contaminated sumps and hasn't failed on us once. Having used 6 heads and 4 handles the original is still going strong and will be ready to do battle again next week, we don't know where we'd be without it!
