Coolant recovery cart

July 11, 2011

Creform Corp. has introduced a new cart design for metalworking shops to use at the machine for storing and moving finished or in-process parts. The cart is positioned so machine operators can load finished parts comfortably onto the storage conveyors, the company states.

The cart allows coolant to drain off machined parts, capturing it for reuse or easy disposal. A drip pan located under the part storage area has a built-in drain and hose hooked up to a container for capturing the coolant. The cart accommodates either water- or petroleum-based coolants.

Captured coolant can be returned to the machine tool's sump, deposited in a coolant recovery and processing unit, or disposed. Residual coolant remaining on the parts is minimal, making them easier to clean before shipment.

The clear plastic shielding on top of the cart helps prevent airborne contaminants or dust from settling on the parts.
