Wogaard and Eclipse Magnetics launch green solution

Coolant saving solutions specialist  Wogaard has joined forces with high performance magnetic filtration specialists Eclipse Magnetics to launch a new, environmentally friendly solution to maximise coolant and oil during manufacturing.

Coolant saving solutions specialist Wogaard has joined forces with high performance magnetic filtration specialists Eclipse Magnetics to launch a new, environmentally friendly solution to maximise coolant and oil during manufacturing.

The new MagSaver Kit combines Wogaard’s coolant saver with Eclipse Magnetics’ compact magnetic filter – the MicroMag – to save up to 50% of coolant and oil, and clean it at the same time.

The Coolant Saver from Wogaard automatically reclaims coolant dragged out into the swarf bin from the conveyor while the machine is in operation, whilst the MicroMag compact magnetic filter with high collection capacity removes fine particle ferrous contamination.

Jason Hutt, managing director at Wogaard said: “We are really pleased to announce this new exciting collaboration. Our products work together fantastically 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.”

Nigel Hampson, sales manager at Eclipse Magnetics added: “The MagSaver kit is a great way to significantly extend fluid life; not only increasing productivity and saving money, but helping the environment too.

“The addition of the MicroMag magnetic filter to the coolant saver effectively ensures that almost 100% of ferrous contamination is removed from the fluid, therefore cleaning the main machine’s reservoir and improving coolant quality and life.”

The MagSaver kit is said to minimise coolant disposal costs by up to 90%, significantly extending fluid life without the need for consumables. In addition to 24/7 operation and minimal running costs, this fit and forget solution ensures cleaner fluid, therefore minimising health and safety risks through exposure to contamination.

The maintenance of metalworking fluid is essential to prevent ill health in machine workshops. In accordance with HSE and COSHH guidelines, magnetic filtration is an effective way to maintain metalworking fluids by reducing contamination, minimising microbial growth, decreasing the need for biocides, and reducing cleaning risks.

The latest restriction on biocide use means that the maintenance of metalworking fluids is now even more important; contamination including swarf metal fines can increase the risk of microbial growth, making its effective removal an absolute must.
