INTRODUCTION

COOLANT SEPARATOR has a filtration system for

various machines tools & chips and scrap mediums.

WHAT IS

COOLANT SEPARATOR?

“COOLANT SEPERATOR” is a machine, which

separates the Coolant from chips and scraps.

The Coolant separator works on the principle of

centrifugal force.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

What we have created?

WORKING PRINCIPLE

• The rotating perforated drum surrounded with

the casing container is fixed on the central shaft.

• These are held at their own place while rotating

but the loosely placed chips and the scrap

particles are thrown centrifugally away from the

central axis.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

• The coolant is collected in the outer casing

surrounding the perforated container.

• Thus it is let out & gives filtered coolant, & chips

and scraps are separated.

CUTTING COOLANT

o The cutting coolant removes heat and lowers the

temperature at the cutting zone.

o It also increases tool life.

o The power consumption is also less while using

lubricant.

CUTTING COOLANT

o In a workshop which has a variety of machine tools

and different materials for machining.

o It is not economical to stock a large variety of

cutting coolants to meet all the requirements.

o In such shops, rationalization of cutting coolants is

essential.

Thus, compatibility of the coolant with different systems

is of vital importance.

MAIN OBJECTIVE

To separate the chips and scraps assuring that 80-90 % of the

coolant is removed from it.

BASIC OBJECTIVES OF THE

PROJECT

i. To separate the coolant from the chip and scrap

solution.

ii. To dry up the chips and scraps.

iii. To reduce the machining cost.

iv. To avoid wastage of cutting and lubricating coolant.

v. To extend the life span of working fluid and tools

significantly as well as to improve processing

precision and speed.

APPLICATIONS

It founds applications for separating the coolant from

the scrap and chips of the following machine tools:-

i. Lathe machine.

ii. Shaping machine.

iii. Grinding machine.

iv. Automats.

v. Milling Machine, etc.

Generally, where chips are produced and coolant is

used for lubrication purpose.

ADVANTAGES

i. Properties of the metal to be formed is not changed

as the coolant is separated from the chips.

ii. It is economical for us to reuse the coolant again

and again.

iii. Also the scrap cost per kg of chip is reduced.

FUTURE SCOPE

Paper filter can be connected in series with the

cleaning system.

This cleaner will give the more efficiency.

The coolant collecting drum can be manufactured

from the fiber material also.
