CASE STUDY – MACHINING & GRINDING
CHALLENGES
A major powertrain manufacturer was using an old soluble oil technology in four of their coolant systems. The soluble oil coolant usage for the facility was 247,926 gallons equating to $2,097,454 for soluble oils alone. Quaker was awarded the Chemical Management contract and wanted to show switching from their old soluble oils to premium fluids would Eliminate the following problems:
- Increased sump side additive costs
- Foul odors because of live and dead bacteria and fungi
- Increased risk of downtime due to blinding of filtration devices
- Poor mycobacteria resistance
- Increased dump schedule
- Increased manpower to re-charge central systems, make pesticide additions and cycle machines over down periods
- Increase system cleanout costs
- Increased additive costs
- Excessive centrifuging
- Increased scrap
- Increased waste treatment costs due to higher discharge levels
- Poor tool life
THE SOLUTION
Quaker put together a proposal showing that although premium fluids cost more per gallon, the manufacturer would still achieve a chemical costs savings, as well as cost savings in the following areas:
- Additives
- Manpower
- Tooling
- Waste treatment
- System cleanout
- Scrap
The manufacturer would also benefit from decreased downtime and improved productivity, along with a decrease in the health and safety concerns related to running soluble oil fluids. With this proposal Quaker gained approval to begin converting the systems to QUAKERCOOL® 3750 BF/3760 BF
