So how can you source purified water? Most shops go one of two ways: RO or DI water. RO, or Reverse Osmosis, is a handy way to treat your water as it flows through the RO membrane. However, RO systems only improve your water quality, so results are somewhat dependent on the quality coming out of the tap. Often pairing an RO system with a water softener improves both membrane life AND water quality. DI, or de-ionized water, is the way to go for larger shops. This is typically done as a service where the vendor installs the DI tanks and swaps them out as needed.

The EXAIR Chip Trapper System is a great way to clean out a dirty or contaminated coolant tank. Their chip trapper vacuums coolant or other liquid into its drum, filtering out all solids and particulates into a reusable filter bag for easy cleanup. Clean, filtered coolant is then stored in the Chip Trapper’s drum for future use or disposal. We LOVE this product! It creates an easy way to clean out coolant tanks, transforming an arduous day job into a quick chore. EXAIR offers their product in three sizes, 30, 55, and 110 gallon for any size machine shop.

Here are some highlights of the advanced manufacturing technology demonstrated along the prestigious FRONT ROW of IMTS, by SELECT. The BIG machine line-up included a Soraluce SAD40 traveling column multitasking mill, a Geminis GT5i large-capacity multitasking lathe, an Ibarmia THC12 twin-pallet 5-axis universal multitasking machining centers and a Momentum MVL-15iM-SR vertical turning lathe with milling capabilities and the all-new Super Ram.

When coolant evaporates, only the water evaporates; the minerals and coolant concentration do not evaporate.   If you top up your coolant tank with tap water, you will be adding  minerals to your sump over time (which will reduce your coolant life!) – this is why “top offs” are often done with purified water.

In this machine walkaround video, Doug Schulte, aka the Machine Tool Google, goes over the features of a Geminis GM9i Multi-Process Turning Center on the factory floor in Spain, before being shipped to a US based steel mill. Doug shares many of the design features that were developed specifically for the machinist, to provide easy, safe access to oversized parts being machined.

Just as important as coolant is the water you put it in. Often, tap water is ionized or “hard”, meaning it contains dissolved minerals and other contaminants.  In general, we want as few minerals in our water as possible. The more minerals we introduce to the system, the more likely the minerals will stop the emulsifiers from working, leading to shortened coolant life.    However, the presence of some amount of minerals can help reduce foaming.  This is why some companies recommend that the initial coolant fill is done with tap water (which usually has some minerals).

The most powerful machine of its kind, the 6th generation IBARMIA Z Series moving column multitasking machining center is now Stronger, Faster and more Efficient for an even bigger ROI.
