Coolant-saving solutions company Wogaard has joined forces with magnetic-filtration specialist Eclipse Magnetics to launch a system designed to minimise the loss of coolant and oil during manufacturing.

The new MagSaver Kit combines Wogaard’s award-winning Coolant Saver with Eclipse Magnetics’ MicroMag magnetic filter to save up to 50% of coolant and oil — and clean it at the same time.

The Coolant Saver (www.wogaard.com/magsaverkit.html) automatically reclaims coolant dragged into the swarf bin by the chip conveyor, while the MicroMag removes fine particle of ferrous contamination.

Wogaard’s managing director, Jason Hutt, said: “We are really pleased to announce this collaboration. Our products work together particularly well to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process and significantly reduce disposal costs.

"By minimising waste and fluid disposal, the MagSaver Kit can also contribute to ISO 14001:2015 compliance, helping companies manage their environmental responsibilities.”

Eclipse Magnetics’ sales manager, Nigel Hampson, said: “The MagSaver Kit is a great way to significantly extend fluid life, which not only increases productivity and saves money but also helps the environment.

"The maintenance of metal-working fluids is essential to prevent ill health in machine workshops.

"In accordance with HSE and COSHH guidelines, magnetic filtration is an effective way to maintain metal-working fluids by reducing contamination, minimising microbial growth, and reducing the need for biocides.

"The latest restriction on biocide use means that the maintenance of metal-working fluids is now even more important.”
