Tools of Coolant

Coolant tools for keeping a CNC sump in shape: a refractometer to check the concentration, the EASYMIX coolant mixer to make the emulsion right the first time, the air-powered CFM100 to clean chips out of the tank while the machine runs, and a drum-mounted vacuum pump to drain and clean it.

Tools and Accessories for CNC Coolant Systems

Most coolant problems come down to three things: the wrong concentration, chips left in the tank, and tramp oil on the surface. A lean mix rusts parts and feeds bacteria; a rich one foams, irritates skin and wastes concentrate. Chips and fines settle into sludge that bacteria live in, and tramp oil seals the surface from air. The tools on this page deal with the first two; oil skimmers deal with the third.

Measure: coolant refractometer

A refractometer reads the concentration of a coolant from a couple of drops in about ten seconds. The EASYCUT LQ20T reads 0–20 % Brix in 0.1 steps, which covers every machining concentration. Multiply the reading by the refractometer factor printed for your coolant — 1.3 for UNI301 and PRO302, 1.6 for BASE201 — and you have the real concentration. Check weekly, more often in summer, and write it down: a trend tells you more than a single reading.

Mix: coolant mixer

Mixing by bucket is where most concentration problems start. A coolant mixer does it on water pressure alone: water flowing through the unit draws concentrate in by the Venturi effect, and a fine, stable emulsion comes out of the hose at the set ratio.

The EASYMIX coolant mixer, made in the EU, mounts directly on a drum or tote and sets from 0 to 25 %. For a 270-gallon tote, add the IBC adapter with mounting bracket. Topping up with premixed coolant instead of water is the simplest way to keep the sump at the right concentration; our coolant calculator works out the top-up.

Clean: air-powered chip filter

The EASYCUT X-CHIP CFM100 cleans the tank without draining it. It draws chips and sludge off the bottom, filters them out and returns the coolant through a bubble nozzle that lifts fine particles to the surface, where a second stage skims the floating chips off. It runs on compressed air, with no motor and no electrical connection near the coolant, so it can stay in the tank through a shift or overnight.

Check your air supply first: at full draw it takes 540 l/min (about 19 CFM), more than a small shop compressor holds continuously. It handles up to 90 l/min (24 US gal/min) of coolant and filters to 400 microns.

Drain: vacuum air pump

When the coolant is finished, the APDQ1-25-I vacuum air pump turns a standard 55-gallon drum into a fluid extractor. Compressed air through the coupler creates a vacuum in the drum, which sucks old coolant, sludge and tramp oil out of the sump. No electricity, no pump in contact with the fluid.
