2 Turning visions Into reality. Engineering what you envision takes tools. Tools for turning, milling, drilling and threading. But it also takes heart and soul. From the initial inspiration to the final application. We re driven to find out what our customers want and committed to make it happen. We concentrate on the applications and what you need them to do. We help you engineer the engineering. To us, perfection is practical. It s the most productive and efficient way to achieve results, and the only way to turn vision into reality. Expect more. Engineer what you envision.

3 SERVICE If it s just about the tool, you can turn to anyone - If you want more, turn to Walter Valenite. Our Sales Engineers are widely regarded as the most competent and responsive in the business: they know the material, the workpiece, the tools and the fluids that you need to make it right. Together with our Field Application Engineers, they re available with on-site assistance and technical support when you need it. EASY TO ORDER Material #/Order Numbers Makes ordering products quick, easy and accurate. An Material #/Order Number is assigned to every ValCOOL fluid, cleaner and accessory.

20 _ TECHNICAL Fluid Maintenance Tips & Techniques Care and Handling of ValCOOL Products As with all cutting fluids, proper care and handling of ValCOOL products involves several important factors, including storage, mixing, bacteria control, tramp oil control, application to the cutting zone, and proper disposal. If you read and follow this list of care and handling recommendations, you will maximize the safety, life and usefulness of all your ValCOOL cutting fluids. Storage Store in clean sealable drums, clearly marked, protected from frost or sunlight, and preferably indoors. Have adequate ventilation and fire extinguishers in the storage area. Clean up spills with inert, mineral absorbent materials. Keep strong oxidizing agents out of the storage area. Do not use sawdust or oily cotton waste for spill control. Water Hardness Water hardness is a measure of the amount of inorganic salts (calcium and magnesium) in the water. Reacts with lubricants to produce soap scum. Reacts with cutting fluids to break down the emulsion. Water treatment methods are advisable. Water Type Water Hardness Chart Parts Per Million Grains (1GR=17PPM) Soft Moderately Soft Slightly Hard Moderately Hard Hard Very Hard Over 300 Over 18 Bacteria Control Bacteria feed on the fatty components, corrosion inhibitors and other components of the emulsion, which causes a chemical change that makes the emulsion more acidic. Foul sulfide odors are produced in the low oxygen emulsions. To reduce bacteria growth, use an aerator, keep the sump clean, maintain proper concentration, remove surface or tramp oil, and add biocides. Mixing Water-Dilutable Concentrates The oil concentrate must be added to the water. (Remember: OIL = Oil-In-Last) Measure the water into a clean tank. Measure the required volume of concentrate and gradually pour it into the water. Keep mixing while pouring. A slow speed mechanical agitation is preferred. Use a suitable mixing unit or proportioner.

21 _ TECHNICAL Fluid Maintenance Tips & Techniques Control of Tramp Oil Employ regular checks and proper maintenance of machinery. Use care when lubricating or filling up hydraulic systems. Use of oil wheel and belt skimmers is advisable. Debris and Dirt In machine tools, basic sieves and traps are usually sufficient, larger swarf separates out by gravity. Special systems may be required for cleaning grinding debris, dirt, and suspended materials from high finish applications. Disposing of Metalworking Fluids It is crucial to fully comply with federal, state and local regulations. Methods used to treat waste fluids depend on the type of product. In water dilutable coolants, the water (90-95% of volume) can be removed and the remaining solids are disposed. Wastewater treatment is divided into three tiers: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary stages Primary: removing free oil (skimming) and suspended solids (filtration and settling) Secondary: ultrafiltration (cross-flow to remove oil and solids), chemical treatment (most common way to split fluids - aluminum sulfate) Tertiary (carbon filtration and reverse osmosis) Delivery to the Cutting Zone Trouble spots to check include: State of the cutting fluid Flow rate Accurate delivery to the cutting zone Machining speed Condition of the cutting tool Sump size Proper fluid flow is: gal. per min. per H.P.

22 _ CLEAN-OUT PROCEDURE Central System and Individual Machine Reservoirs Clean metalworking fluid performs better and lasts longer than dirty or contaminated fluid. When recharging an individual machine or central system fluid tank, a proper clean-out of the tank is necessary. A thorough cleaning will allow the fresh charge of metalworking fluid to perform with maximum efficiency. If not removed, the metal swarf, oil, mold and bacteria will cause deterioration of the fresh mix. The following clean-out procedure should be used whenever possible. Preferred Clean-Out Procedure 1. Drain the central system or individual tank completely. 2. Remove all metal swarf and debris from sumps, return trenches, oil pans, and filtration units. 3. Fill the machine with water and circulate through all lines and machines. Warm water is desirable, but is not absolutely necessary. 4. Add Val-U-Clean cleaner at 2-4% and circulate for 4 to 8 hours. As the cleaner circulates, clean all chip conveyers, screens, pans, and enclosed areas. DO NOT ADD BLEACH OR OTHER HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS. This will cause rusting and shorten the life of the coolant. If the coolant has a large amount of bacterial growth, a biocide can be added to the cleaner and flushed through the system. 5. It is suggested to steam clean areas where suspected accumulation of swarf and oil may not have been removed by the cleaner. 6. After the cleaning is complete, drain the Val-U-Clean mix from the system. 7. Refill with fresh water and circulate throughout the system or tank(s) to flush all traces of cleaner and swarf from the system. Drain all lines and sumps. If the rinse water is exceptionally dirty, rinse a second time 8. Charge the system with fresh water. 9. Add enough ValCOOL concentrate to reach the recommended concentration. 10. Circulate through the system to insure proper mixing. Alternate Clean-out Procedure With Used Fluid- During Shutdown After production stops, add one gallon Val-U-Clean to each 50 gallons of dirty fluid in the machine reservoir or central system. Circulate the mixture for 4 hours or longer through all lines and machine tools. Drain, rinse, and recharge with a fresh ValCOOL mix. WARNING! Val-U-Clean is alkaline. Protective gloves and safety glasses should be worn by maintenance personnel during this operation. Prolonged contact with the skin may cause irritation. 20
