The Wogaard Coolant Saver collects the cutting-fluid that is normally wasted through the machine tool’s automatic chip conveyor. The cutting fluid is reclaimed from the chip-container and returned to the machine tool’s main tank for re-use. A ‘greener’ business does not neccessarily mean an increase in operating costs. Environmental concerns should first and foremost be […]

Magnetic filtration is the most effective means of removing problem ferrous particles from industrial fluids such as coolants, lubricants and wash solutions.
