Dirty coolant kills your spindles

How much is a new spindle for your machine? 7,000, 10,000 or 15,000 Dollar or Euro? You have to realize that contaminated coolant is one of the major contributors to spindle failure. So why not do a little preventive maintenance and install the Oil-Monster? It will eat up all the tramp oil and micro swarf and make your spindle last as much as twice as long. Good deal? I betcha!

Castrol lubricant tolerates coolant contamination


What is Castrol trying to tell us: let's not clean the Coolant?

Castrol has developed a new generation of lubricants which, unlike conventional lubricants, are compatible with its production fluids.

The nine new products were develped between Castrol and an automotive customer and have been approved by the automotive manufacturer and its major equipment suppliers for use across Europe and America. In addition, Castrol has developed the methodology to emulsify, filter and recycle the fluids during production. And this extremely complex project had to be completed to a deadline for implementation in a new engine production line.
