FLUID MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Coolant Mixing & Distribution
COOLANT MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Accurate and consistent coolant mixing is critical to ensure the performance and longevity of metalworking fluid, concentration control is of paramount importance and care should always be taken to maintain the recommended coolant dilution rate, so to optimise the fluid performance and not to waste fluid or incur operational issues. Houghton can provide a number of options based on usage and flow required, ranging from barrel top mixers to mechanical mixer stations with self monitoring capability, along with the option to supply and install a dedicated coolant distribution pipework system linked to a coolant mixer. Houghtons dedicated team of fully trained engineers can design, project manage and install bespoke coolant distribution installations to the highest of standards. Our installations include quality pipework, drop points and hose reels. Clear benefits of introducing a bespoke coolant and mixing distribution system to your manufacturing facility include optimising and managing coolant performance within the specified parameters, no manual handling of neat or mixed coolant, a cleaner working environment reducing the possibility of drips and spills and also coolant and waste cost reductions associated with greater management of the product.
FLUID MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Coolant Mixing & Distribution HOUGHTO-MIX Dispensing rate 90 litres per minute No mixed coolant stored Standard concentration range 0.8 10% Low soluble oil / low water shut off One mixer station can supply an entire workshop Accurate mix every time, consistent emulsion and accurate concentration Reduced coolant consumption Reduced coolant costs Reduced manual handling risk associated with mixing and coolant transfer Allows automated coolant distribution through pipework system to point of use Water tank conforms to water authority regulations Water is drawn from the integral water tank. This supply of water allows for fast delivery of mixed coolant even if you have a slow mains water supply. Soluble oil is drawn via a lance which senses the oil level and shuts down the HOUGHTO-MIX when the soluble oil container empties, avoiding the possibility of delivering pure water. Up to four concentration presets can be programmed. Coolant is mixed accurately into a consistent, emulsion giving it the best chance of performing as intended, and lasting as long in service as possible. The soluble oil is drawn into the mixer via a lance either from an IBC or barrel.

FLUID MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Coolant Mixing & Distribution Distribution pipework Mixed coolant fed to point of use Coolant delivered mixed on demand Built in flexibility into pipe work Ability to service complete shop floor Individual outlets can be metered Savings in labour and lost time Reduction in environmental spillage issues Shop floor cleared of multiple barrels Machine moves easily accommodated Volume / cost of coolant can be determined by outlet To maximise the benefits of a mixer station the connection to a coolant pipework distribution is the next logical step, treating coolant as being another service for the machine tools. Utilising a pressurised system means coolant is only mixed on demand when required with no reservoir of mixed coolant required. Mixed coolant typically set at top up concentration, lower than the initial fill concentration to counter act the effect of evaporation, during the cutting process, can be delivered directly to the machine tool sump or if required a cell of machines. Delivery of the mixed coolant to the machine tool sump can be automated or manually controlled, or alternatively a retractable hose reel strategically positioned can serve a cell of machines. Treating the coolant as another service, that needs to be delivered to the machine tool via pipe work distribution, removes the issue of having multiple coolant barrels and individual mixing systems on the shop floor, along with the associated bunding for environmental protection. Additionally the slip risk of spilled coolant, by manually moving of mixed coolant in containers, is eliminated. Houghton has the ability to design and install small local distribution systems to large factory wide installations.

FLUID MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Coolant Mixing & Distribution Venturi mixer Simple to operate Easy installation fits into large barrel bung Ensures a correct and uniform blending of metal cutting fluids Rapid and easy adjustment of additive mix Built in double check valve and vacuum breaker Operated via water pressure on Durable and reliable Savings on cutting fluids usage compared to manual mixing Reduces labour cost compared to manual blending Consistent coolant mix Approved to water authority regulations Venturi pumps are commonly used for coolant mixers, the moving water across the orifice creates a vacuum, drawing coolant into the water stream. The combination of the two laminar flows creates a turbulent zone thoroughly mixing the two fluids. Since there are no moving parts, the pump has a high degree of reliability. The concentration is easily altered by the needle valve which allows for great precision in setting the proportion of coolant mixed with water. These mixers eliminate the traditional manual fluid mixing methods which often result in poor fluid concentration with subsequent problems of corrosive machine maintenance, fluid rancidity and the final expense of fluid disposal. The Venturi mixer is extremely simple to install and operate and is driven by the water pressure alone so no additional equipment or power is required. Just switch on the water supply when re-filling your coolant tank and the accurately mixed and blended liquid is dispensed. Developed to meet the strongest demands from waterworks all over the world for category 3 fluids and ISO EN1717. Build-In double check valve and vacuum breaker. SPECIFICATION The lower threaded adapter fits all standard drums. Unique nozzle/jet system that prevents blocking. Flow up to 900/2000 litre/hour. Mixing ratio from 0 to approx. 16% Hook provided on discharge hose
FLUID MIXING & DISTRIBUTION Dosatron D3RE10 Water-powered proportional dosing pump Simple to operate Not effected by water pressure and flow variations Ensures a correct and uniform blending of metal cutting fluids Rapid and easy adjustment of additive mix Operated via water pressure only Durable and reliable Savings on cutting fluids usage compared to manual mixing Reduces labour cost compared to manual blending. High level of concentration accuracy and repeatability of results Mixed solution on demand The Dosatron water powered dosing pump is a simple and ingenious system that has demonstrated its worth for many decades in over a hundred countries. Installed directly into a suitable the water supply line, the Dosatron operates without electricity; it uses the flow of water as the power source. The water activates the Dosatron, which takes up the required percentage of concentrate and injects it into the water. Inside the Dosatron, the concentrate is mixed with the water, and the water pressure forces the solution downstream. Once adjusted, the dispenser requires no action or external control. The dose of concentrate will be directly proportional to the volume of water entering the Dosatron, regardless of variations in flow and pressure which may occur in the main line. The high dosing precision eliminates the risk of over and under dosing maintaining a consistent product dilution.

FLUID TREATMENT Tramp Oil Separators
TRAMP OIL SEPARATORS Machine tools use various slideway lubricants and spindle oils for the lubrication of machine s ways, and spindle bearings. These oils are designed to provide hydrodynamic lubrication to the machine tool components, thus keeping interfacing metal surfaces apart. Unfortunately, these oils ultimately end up in the coolant sump and thus contaminate the metalworking fluid. These tramp oils do not aid in the cutting process and can cause multiple coolant related issues. High levels of tramp oil in the metalworking fluid can cause an increased level of oil mist and smoke formation. Oil mist increases the potential exposure of bioaerosols to personnel in the facility, thus making the shop environment potentially unsafe. Tramp oil mist increases residues on the machines exteriors and shop workplace surfaces, along with prematurely clogging air filters. Oily residues can destroy sensitive electronic machine components and create unsightly brown residues on machine cabinet interiors. High levels of tramp oil in the coolant increases the potential for anaerobic bacteria (requiring no oxygen) to establish a foothold in the coolant sump. The anaerobic bacteria metabolites produces various acids. These acids drive the ph of the fluid down to a more acidic ph level. The lower acidic ph of the coolant can cause ferrous rust to form, as the acids attack the metal surfaces of the machine tool and parts. The HSE guideline is regularly check that tramp oil is less than 2%. Tramp oil is a problem for metalworking fluids in general, and must be frequently removed from the coolant system. Houghton provide various types of tramp oil removal equipment. These range from simple disc and belt skimmers to more elaborate coalescers and high speed centrifuges.
Tramp Oil Removal Systems Mobile tramp oil coalescer FLUID TREATMENT Tramp oil separation via efficient coalesce system 35 litre of fluid media held in removable baskets Easily moved very mobile Easy setup of input and output connections Cleaned fluid runs back via gravity to machine tool sump Removes tramp oil from coolants in a variety of applications Runs continuously Variety of filters and floats available Extends coolant life Reduces coolant waste volumes Improves operator working environment The Tramp Oil Separator has been designed to combat the problems associated with tramp oil levels in machine tool coolant systems. The Tramp Oil Separator is easily manoeuvrable, so it can be used throughout the factory workshop, and it runs continuously so not to interfere with production, siphoning the tramp oil into the supplied collection bottle, and allowing the cleaned coolant to be returned. The floating pick-up skims the tramp oil and coolant mix from the top of the machine sump. As the liquid moves slowly through the coalescing media, oil droplets are separated from the coolant and rise to the top of the unit. When the oil layer builds up sufficiently in the unit, it passes over a weir, and is held within the collection containers away from the clean coolant. Coolant, cleaned of contaminated oils, is returned directly to the machine sump via gravity.

SPECIFICATION Dimensions Material Pump type Length 47mm x Height 363 x Width 119mm Tank capacity 10L Engineered thermoplastic resin Electric/compressed air
FLUID TREATMENT Fines Separation
FINES SEPARATION When metal is being removed, micron and sub-micron metal fines are produced. The metallurgical properties of these fines are changed during the cutting process and are now harder than the original material being machined. If these metal fines are not addressed by means of filtration, they will be continually picked up by the coolant pumps and re-introduced onto the cutting zone, thus reducing overall tool life and poor surface finishes. These small fines can take hours to settle out of the fluid. When they eventually do settle out, they produce a very dense sludge on the bottom of the coolant sump. This sludge tends to accumulate in stagnant areas, such as in the corners of the coolant sump and dead zones. This sludge can build up to such a high degree that fluid operating volume is lost and also allows anaerobic bacteria and bio-films to form in the sump. The level of filtration depends on the machining process and the desired level of surface finish. Thus the more critical the surface finish requirements, an equally increased level of fluid filtration is necessary. Filtration as low as 1 micron may be required in order to obtain super finishes less than 10 Ra. Houghton recommend keep fines and dissolved metals within control limits. Well managed sumps typically have fines below 100 mg per litre of fluid 100ppm. Fines contamination is a problem for metalworking fluids in general, and must be frequently removed from the coolant system. Houghton provide various types of separation equipment, providing different techniques to provide the required solution.
Fines Separation Mobile offline filtration system FLUID TREATMENT Intelligent PLC control High / low pressure cut off Filter element change timer Large capacity pre-filter with re-usable filter bag Integrated sample points allows connection to particle monitor / oil sampling Removes varnish and microparticles (down to less than 1 micron) Removes free and dissolved water contamination Increases system reliability Prevents system corrosion Reduces component wear Extends oil life and generates CO2 savings Reduces operating costs Oil and coolant cleanliness is critical to the reliability and conformity of the machining process and will extend the coolant life. The mobile system is configured for offline filtration which can be temporarily or permanently installed and works independently of the system being filtered, relying on its own integrated pumps to provide pressure and flow through its own filters. With an offline system an optimum flow rate can be achieved which will be at a controlled rate and pressure allowing very high levels of cleanliness to be achieved. For oil, a depth filter is used made of long fibre cellulose that will absorb free water, as the oil passes through the element minute particles of contamination are extracted from the oil by adhering to the many surfaces of the filter. For water based fluids an alternative element made of chemically inert wound polypropylene fibre is utilised, capable of removing micro particles, and tramp oil, without effecting the stability of emulsions. By continuously removing tramp oil and particulate contamination the negative effect on the coolant emulsion is minimised thus extending the coolant life and will help maintain the fluid within specification.

MAchine Cleaning Machine Cleaning
MACHINE CLEANING When metalworking fluids come to the end of their working life, a quick efficient method of removal is required from the machine tool sump, which will provide an effective result to ensure all contamination is removed so that the working life of the following refill of metalworking fluid can be maximised. Not cleaning the machine tool sump prior to a fluid change will adversely affect the performance and working life of the fluid. When undertaking the machine cleaning process the equipment selected must minimise any leaks and spills to maintain a safe working environment, and also rapidly remove the metalworking fluid and debris so that the machine can be put back into production as soon as possible. Houghton can supply a wide range of equipment to remove or transfer fluid from a machine tool. Consideration must also be given to the correct procedure for machine cleaning. Houghton would always recommend the correct usage of system cleaner as part of the sump cleaning procedure.

WASTE TREATMENT Waste Treatment
WASTE TREATMENT As the cost of fluid disposal continues to rise and organisations come under increasing pressure to improve their environmental credentials, operating an onsite waste treatment process becomes a more viable option for companies. Evaporation technology is a clean method of separation and for this reason it has become recognised as BAT (Best Available Technology ) in European directives for the treatment of waste coolant and wash fluids. The evaporation process is very robust and can process all types of water based coolant and wash media effluent waste. Vacuum Evaporation will generate a reduction of water based waste to approximately 90%, producing an aqueous phase which can be reused in none critical operations such as floor cleaning or discharged direct to the foul drain with the consent of the water authority. The remaining concentrate, which will be oil rich, is collected for disposal via a waste contractor. Houghton has considerable experience in this area of waste management having installed numerous vacuum distillation systems and can advise on the suitability of such a system to your waste streams.
Waste Treatment Evaporation treatment Waste TREATMENT Capable of reducing water based waste streams by 90% Operating conditions controlled to suit waste stream Designed for 24 hour operation Energy within the process recycled Automatic discharge of concentrate Reduction in volume and cost of waste disposal Cost savings generated by on site treatment Reduction in storage quantities of waste on site Environmental compliance Low intervention input, automatic operation Aqua-Save is a fully automatic waste water treatment system requiring no operator input and minimal maintenance or service. At the heart of the system is the evaporation unit, which operates at 80 c 85 c. The processing conditions have been established to evaporate the aqueous part of the process solution, with the retention of the higher boiling water soluble oils and other contaminants. The operating conditions can be tightly controlled to suit the particular nature and proportion of the oil contained within the process solution. The system is designed for continuous treatment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The waste oil is concentrated and automatically discharged at regular intervals, which can be set to suit each application. The reclaimed water is neutral, permitting re-use or disposal to main drain, subject to permission. The energy used in the process is recycled, making the system highly energy efficient.
