Maintaining the proper coolant to water ratio is critical because coolants are designed to perform optimally at specific concentrations.
Low concentration can cause:
- A shortened tool life
- Bacteria growth leading to pungent odours
- Rusting of the machine equipment
High concentration can cause:
- Excessive heating which can affect cutting tolerances
- A shortened tool life
- Skin irritation and dermatitis
- Respiratory irritation from over exposure to MWF aerosols
Features of the Filtermist Coolant Mixer
- Measured success. The Filtermist drum mounted coolant mixers accurately combine fluid concentrate with water in measured ratios, providing a ready to use solution straight from the drum.
- Two robust models. The standard unit is supplied for 205 litre drums with an additional model, featuring a drum adaptor and short feed hose, supplied for 20 and 25 litre drums.
- Easy to use and fully adjustable. The mixer valves are extremely easy to use, incorporating a semi-concealed metering screw for easy adjustment of mixing ratios.
- Simple installation. Installation is a simple matter of connecting to a pressurised water supply, for which the unit comes complete with a water inlet attachment and outlet hose. Simply switching the water on and off then controls the mixer.
