FLUIDTREND: THE BE ATING HE ART OF YOUR M ACHINE M AINTENANCE PROGR A MME #CN C-TLC

This tailored and bespoke software program was developed by Houghton to support our FluidcareÂŽ and your Metalworking Fluid operations. The system is auditable and allows users to identify both performance and cost trends for any given machine or system immediately.

Designed for optimum coolant and lubrication management, all analytical results from each machine test are automatically recorded and promptly displayed on FluidTrend, displaying the condition of the coolant at any time, enabling trends to be displayed and reports generated instantly on an easy-to-use interface. FluidTrend can easily assist with lubrication duties, able to collate data generated during oil top-ups, providing insightful reports by application point, such as top leakers, top users, as well as cost analysis and usage trends. FluidTrend management reports aid compliance with Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) guidance on the control and disposal of metalworking fluids.

COOL ANT MIXING A ND SUPPLY UNI T Description FluidMix is a stand-alone coolant mixing station. Connected to a distribution pipework, the system is capable to automatically mix and distribute water soluble coolant with a pre-set, accurate and consistent concentration to any machine tool sumps throughout an entire workshop on demand or locally via a trigger-nozzle. The operator can choose between four pre-set concentrations which are passcode protected.

Features & Benefits \\ Accurate top-up mix every time for all

machine tools \\ Tight and continued stable emulsion

concentration using innovative mixing technology reducing concentrate & water consumption up to 25% \\ Fast delivery of coolant up to 90 litres

per minute –7 times faster than standard mixing devices \\ High flexibility with either automated

coolant distribution through pipework system or locally via a trigger-nozzle / hose reel \\ Conforms with EU/UK Water Authority

\\ No stored mixed coolant necessary \\ Comes as “plug and play” system with up to

4 pre-set concentrations between a range of 0.5% to 10%, protected by a passcode \\ Low concentrate / low water shut-off with

warning beacon and display notification that safeguards the equipment \\ Optimises space on the shopfloor with a

small footprint and portable design \\ Eliminates operational issues and hazards

e.g. constantly varying concentrations in sumps, manual handling and slip hazards associated with manual mixing, storing and transporting of mixed coolants

SIMPLE & SAF E BACTE R I A R E DUCTI O N Description FluidWorker is based on UV technology that keeps bacteria in process fluid under control, secures high productivity and extends the life of the fluid – without exposing employees to allergenic substances or carcinogens. FluidWorker effectively reduces bacteria in process fluids. The fluid is irradiated with UVC, which reacts with the bacteria’s DNA and makes it unable to reproduce. The bacterial reduction is often very fast, within a few hours 99.9% of the bacteria is decomposed, given dimensioning according to our system analysis.

Features & Benefits \\ Treatment without biocides that can

cause eczema, allergies, respiratory problems, sterility and cancer – safer for end-user \\ Lower costs – the process fluid gets

An optional inlet filter was also added to ensure that the pump wasnÂ´t damaged, which could limit the flow. This had actually been a problem in a previous trial, so keep in mind to install the inlet in the clean tank.

F UL LY AUTOM ATE D CO NDI TI O N MO NI TO R I NG, ANALYTICS AND AUTO - TO P- UP SYSTE M Description FluidControl automatically measures, analyses and monitors the water-soluble cooling lubricants. The system continuously records all relevant parameters throughout the process and makes them accessible in the FluidControl-Cloud or FluidTrend software from anywhere at anytime. Thanks to a sophisticated cleaning process, the sensors will stay clean for a long time, making FluidControl extremely low-maintenance. Using real-time measurement analysis results, FluidControl initiates quality assurance methods including automatic control of coolant level in machine sumps as well as coolant concentration, pH, conductivity and temperature.

Features & Benefits \\ Monitoring, analysing and visualisation of

real time data â€“ from anywhere at any time \\ Easy to use interface of secure, tracable

live data \\ Data visualisation of metal working fluid

conditions \\ Identify fluid irregularities in advance with

a mouse-click \\ Close control minimises cost of fluid

maintenance and usage \\ Increase tooling life-time

\\ New generation comes with touch screen

and isolator switch \\ Can be installed on single sump machines

and/or central systems \\ Automated auto-top-up system available

with FCM900 Pro version \\ Configurable alarm trigger thresholds \\ Documentation for ISO quality control (10

years) \\ Simple handling \\ Simple and quick installation procedure

\\ Increase quality of finished goods

Health & Safety The manufacturer declares that the equipment is in full compliance with CEstandards.
