[Improvement Case] Introduction of an oil recovery device reduces coolant replacement costs.

We will introduce a case where the labor of changing cutting oil has been eliminated, significantly improving work efficiency!

We would like to introduce a case from a company in Niigata Prefecture that uses water-soluble cutting oil in their machining process. Due to contamination from oil, the coolant deteriorated in about a year, and the degradation of the oil caused a decline in the working environment, prompting a request for improvement. Upon inspecting the equipment, we found that the cause of the decay and stickiness was the existing belt-type oil skimmer, which was too dirty to recover the lubricant effectively. We proposed the introduction of a floating oil recovery device that uses a special filter for higher recovery rates. With the introduction of the floating oil recovery device, the coolant was cleaned in a short time, and the frequency of coolant replacement was extended from once a year to once every two years. 【Background of Introduction】 - Contamination from other oils from the equipment was unavoidable, and while the existing oil skimmer was in use, recovery was not satisfactory, leading to coolant deterioration in about a year due to the contamination. - The factory became smelly due to the decay of the oil, and with a predominantly female workforce, there were many complaints, making the improvement of the working environment urgent. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
