Accurate Coolant Mixing Without Manual Measuring with Fluidmate Mixtron Pump
About the company
A precision engineering and machining company based in Kolhapur uses coolant-based machining processes where accurate coolant preparation is important for maintaining consistent machining performance and coolant condition.
Challenges
The company was manually preparing coolant by measuring and mixing coolant concentrate with RO water. This process created several challenges:
- Manual measuring and bucket mixing
- Variation in coolant concentration
- Spillage during mixing and transfer
- Product wastage
- Higher operator effort
- Time-consuming coolant preparation
- Difficulty maintaining consistent mixing ratios
Solutions
The Fluidmate Mixtron Pump, a proportional coolant dosing pump, was introduced to make coolant preparation more accurate, clean and consistent.
The Mixtron enables controlled dosing of coolant concentrate with RO water at ratios from 1:100 to 1:10, eliminating the need for manual measuring and bucket handling.
Key benefits observed with the solution include:
- Accurate proportional dosing
- Consistent coolant concentration
- Minimal spillage and wastage
- Self-priming operation
- Portable and easy handling
- Seal-less quick-drain design
- Reduced operator effort
- Faster and cleaner coolant preparation
The solution can be used for CNC coolant preparation, centralised coolant system top-ups and machine sump filling.
Testimonial
“The Fluidmate Mixtron Pump has made our coolant preparation process much easier and more consistent. Accurate dosing, easy handling and minimal spillage have reduced the effort involved in manual mixing and helped us prepare coolant more efficiently.”
