Maintenance system, Type: 1000

The ARIANA R-1000 maintenance station ensures that emulsions or solutions are optimally cleaned and maintained during production. Cooling lubricants used in wet-cutting machines are subject to a high degree of contamination. Externally supplied hydraulic oils, bedway oils and grease collect on the surface of the emulsion and, in high concentrations, prevent the vital exchange of oxygen. Combined with floating and deposited solids, this then provides the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, which cause the cooling lubricant to deteriorate. Constant maintenance with regular removal of these contaminants considerably extends the working life of the cooling lubricant and reduces disposal costs.

The ARIANA R-1000 maintenance station suctions off a mixture of oils and solid particles from the surface of the emulsion. This mixture is separated in the maintenance station, the cleaned emulsion is passed back into the machine tool and the separated oil is passed to a separate disposal container. The emulsion and oils are separated purely physically and so gently that the emulsion is not damaged by spinning, etc. Up to 97% of tramp oils which float up and swirl around are removed. The emulsion is cleaned without the need for any staff while the machine tool is working. There is no need for any downtime. 80 − 350 litres passes through the centrifugal pump, depending on the setting.
