We have installed a clever piece of kit that removes oil and swarf from machinery coolant – an Abenaki Chiperator chip and coolant separation system – which saves money on CNC coolant (‘milk’) and reduces environmental risk.
It’s part of Groveley’s ongoing drive for continuous environmental improvement under ISO 14001.
The air driven Chiperator vacuums and filters old cutting fluids loaded with chips from machine sumps, tanks and parts washers, while the coolant is cleansed of tramp oils, allowing it to be re-used.
