Comprehensive Look at Cutting Fluid Maintenance and Waste Reduction Program
Abstract
This paper discusses the development of a cutting fluid management program and a waste reduction program that will allow facilities to extend cutting fluid life, improve performance, and more importantly reduce costs. The major conclusion derived from this research is that selection of a coolant recovery systems depends on many factors which concerns the facility such as type of coolant being recovered, type of metal chips in the coolant, the existing cutting fluid maintenance program, etc. Hence, there may be several coolant recovery system, which incorporates different technologies, that can be installed and used within a specific industry. Therefore, being a able to work closely with one's coolant supplier and recycling equipment supplier besides having a complete understanding of the in question facility situation are a vital part in purchasing a cutting fluid and recovery system.
