More changes may come in the future, he said. “There is not enough standardization in machine tools and filtration equipment,” Bitterwolf said. “The end users would like to see a standardized interface. Right now it’s very complicated for end users to update their filtration system when needed. Sometimes their system has to be completely changed out and they cannot keep any of the parts.”
Integrating Systems
PRAB (Kalamazoo, MI) produces automated systems for processing metal turnings and recovering cutting fluids.
“PRAB has integrated our chip and
fluid treatment systems to provide a complete machine shop recycling sys- tem,” said Mike Hook, the company’s national sales manager.
The company said its wringer and centrifuge systems remove up to 98% of spent metalworking fluids from chips. Coolant is collected in a hold- ing tank under the wringer. A separa- tor removes tramp oils and provides clean fluid that can be reused, ac- cording to PRAB.

“The cleanliness of the coolant plays a significant role in tool life and surface finish,” Hook said. “By recycling the cutting fluids on a regular schedule, PRAB customers have witnessed up to 200% improvement in tool life.”
