Converting Oil to Quantalube 270

From CIMCOOL
 

 

When converting from a straight oil to a water soluble metalworking fluid, a cleanout of the tank is essential so that the fresh charge of metalworking fluid can perform with maximum efficiency.

If not removed, accumulated shop waste, metal swarf, oil, mold growth, and pockets of bacteria cause deterioration of the fresh mix. In a new system, construction debris in the trenches and tanks, the chemical waste such as welding flux, must be removed from the assembly of steel trenches. If the trenches are constructed of cement, a good cleaning helps to season them.

The cleanout, therefore, is an essential first step. It insures that your metalworking fluid has an "even chance" to give maximum performance with a minimum number of problems.
