@octane_workholding: The Freddy Micro Plus makes coolant maintenance simple and enjoyable Here are just a few ways this tool saves time and money while improving working conditions. •Filtered coolant Improves surface finish and tool life •Powerful discharge can be used for washdown •Recovers Spills •Vacuum Swarf •Remove Tramp Oil •Improve Coolant Hygiene The cost to replace 55 gallons of coolant is $235.36 for 5 gallons of the oil we use. The disposal cost $135.00 per barrel, and 3x's that if certain chemicals are detected. The cost to take a machine offline and pull the sump could be several thousand dollars in lost machine time. By routinely filtering, we are able to extend our coolant life nearly indefinitely. Our coolant is a semi synthetic, and we use oil skimmers and bubblers to introduce oxygen to the sump. This combination of Freddy + good practices prevents any of the smells or coolant degradation from occurring.
