Micro Bubble Coolant Cleaning and Purification Unit | JCC-HM Cutting Coolant Disposal Costs by Two-Thirds Through Coolant Reuse DETAILS
CUSTOMER OVERVIEW A manufacturer machining aluminum die-cast (ADC) components was generating large volumes of waste coolant during production. Although coolant was recovered through a centrifugal separation process, significant amounts of oil and fine aluminum particles remained in the fluid. The remaining contamination shortened coolant life, created quality concerns, and forced the customer to dispose of approximately 3,000 liters of coolant each month as industrial waste. The JCC-HM was introduced to improve coolant recovery and reduce disposal costs.

KEY CHALLENGES
Residual Aluminum Particles Reduced Coolant Usability Fine aluminum particles that could not be removed through centrifugal separation remained in the recovered coolant. These particles adhered to workpieces, creating quality concerns and limiting the usable life of the recycled coolant.
Disposable Filter Solutions Were Not Cost-Effective The customer evaluated various filtration methods, but ongoing consumable replacement costs made them impractical for long-term use.
High Waste Coolant Disposal Costs Unable to effectively remove both oil and fine aluminum particles, the customer disposed of approximately 3,000 liters of coolant per month as industrial waste, creating significant recurring costs.
RESULTS: After Introducing the JCC-HM
By integrating the JCC-HM, the customer was able to remove both oil and fine aluminum particles, making the coolant suitable for reuse and significantly reducing waste generation. Reduced Waste Coolant Volume by 67% Monthly coolant disposal volume decreased from approximately 3,000 liters to 1,000 liters, reducing waste generation to one-third of previous levels. $1,300 USD/month $430 USD/month
Savings of: 860 USD/month × 12 months = $103,230 USD reduction
