Take 54 machine tools, shift operations, precision components, and materials ranging from cast iron to bronze, & all the grades of stainless steels. Thousands of gallons of coolant flushing through those machine tools. Add a bacteria that's causing skin rashes, plus an unusually high rate of coolant contamination. Now, you're looking at a serious maintenance problem in need of a fast and permanent solution. The coolant is checked regularly by refractometer and changed as often as necessary to maintain purity and proper strength; Rexnord traced the source of contamination and bacteria growth to chips and fines that found their way into out-of-sight or inaccessible nooks and crannies of the dozens of CNC lathes and machining centers.
