Coolant Change. 😳 "Worst CNC Coolant tank"

- A few weeks ago I got the Arrow 500 up and running, changing tools, the whole 9 yards. The first time the coolant pump kicked on I knew we had issues. BIG issues. The coolant had been sitting for almost a year with ZERO movement and no oxygen. This creates perfect conditions for a bacterial breeding ground and some very unpleasant looking and smelling coolant. Since this coolant will be used every time my spindle turns on I thought it a good idea to clean it up and replenish the tank with some fresh coolant straight from the bucket. This is a general overview of what refreshing a CNC coolant tank looks like.

I just did an 8 hour cleaning for a mazak that hasn’t been cleaned in two years.
It sucked but she’s as least running blue for now.
Respect ✊
Now I'm really glad the machines at my work have oil skimmers XD
I need to get a separator tank. This was pretty much from it sitting for so long I think haha!
"Nice and easy."
SPLASH ON THE WALL
Hahaha that was the most uncoordinated pour LOL.
@@ericschneiter So relatable, it brought up memory of me trying to pour some delicious coffee for my visitors, then trying to treat their 2nd degree burns xD
@@gregorteply9034 hahaha! Glad I’m not the only one. 😂😂
We´re moving our machines to another part of the factory, so the first thing for me and my co-worker - CNC lathe machinists - were to remove the coolant tank and chip conveyor from underneath the machine... It´s two elder Doosan Lynx 220 lathes, so there is nothing like oil separator/skimmer nor there is nothing underneath the conveyor which is right above the coolant tank, suck all the coolant out of there and get all the chips our... If I haven´t got 30 kilos of stainless/brass/steel/aluminuminiuminum chips out I haven´t got a single kilo out of there... Man, it wasn´t a coolant, it was like a fucking yoghurtr when coolant was out and just oil and goo was left in...... Shit, working as CNC machinist for just fourth month I was absolutely gross thing to clean..... I said I´m going to get myself out of bed every two months on Saturday to go and clean the coolant tanks from oil and chips, it´d be worth it to have your hands every day in mostly clean coolant than in gross coolant... Fucking clean this stuff guys, it´s something you´re getting it all over your hands
Haha this is the lesson. And make sure your concentration is right. It’s not always easy with these old machines but if maintained they can run nice.
Filter socks my man, they work wonders.
Haha nice. Ill look into it. We drained her and topped back up with fresh this summer. I was running it too low on the mix.
@@ericschneiter if you can't set the socks up in the machine just get a pump and a couple barrels rig the socks up in the barrels and just pump into the barrels through the sock. From 1 barrel to the next then back into the tank.
Repeat when nessarcy.
Did you ever calibrate your refractometer? You should see a line at 0.
Not sure, my rep told me to mix to 7% on the mix line and that’s where I keep my concentration. What does calibrating it do?
@@ericschneiter Don't know if this would matter to you, but for the next person, calibrating it to your water source that you will mix the coolant with will let you see the actual concentration of coolant to the water you have, not to something random.
Come to my workplace our coolant is worse than that most times lmaoo.
HOW?! Where do you work? This s was so bad I can’t imagine worse.
Why don't you just buy a skimmer? We added them all to our machines
It’s in the works. Trying to decide on one of those separator tanks or a skimmer it shouldn’t ever get that bad again it’s just cause it sat for a year without moving. Super gross though!
GREAT! VID Thank you!
Where i work the coolant has big black bubles floating on top of coolant without ventilation.... Embaresing for company with 1400 employees....
4:14 chips n dip 🤮
It was so bad. Haha. Never again will I let that happen.
Get skimmer
😂😂😂😂😂
