Summary
The
Situation
A large
manufacturing
company
was
having
heavy
tramp
oil
accumulation
in their
synthetic
machine
coolants
causing
bad
odors
and
the
need
to frequently
change
out
the
coolants
in their
machine
tools.
The
Solution
United-Tech
implemented
a program
using
OBT®
oil
degradation
treatment
directly
in the
machine
coolants
to breakdown
the
tramp
oils
and
control
the
odors.
The
Results
After
four
days
of starting
the
United-Tech
OBT®
program,
the
tramp
oils
were
broken
down
and
the
odors
were
gone.
The
manufacturing
manager
at first
was
worried
the
treatment
may
breakdown
the
waylube
oil
on the
machine
slides,
it did
not.
The
machine
operators
stated
the
machines
were
cleaner
because
the
OBT®
was
eliminating
buildup
of tramp
oils
on the
machines.
The
OBT®
treatment
did
not
affect
the
tool
life
or viscosity
of the
coolant.
It worked
well
on highly
charged
or lowly
charged
machines.
