Getting greener with coolants – MACH 2022

Coolant saving specialist Wogaard will be promoting the sustainability benefits of its products at this year’s MACH.

As many important decisions going forward will have an impact on the environment, economy, and society, Wogaard says its design team have a clear vision to encompass all the elements and provide oil and coolant solutions that optimise manufacturing processes and make them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

“At Wogaard, we like to say that we are in the business of saving oil/coolant costs, the environment and improving Health and Safety – a lot of tick marks for any manufacturing business,” says Jason Hutt, managing director of Wogaard. “We realise sustainability will have a significant impact on people, society, and the environment, so the manufacturing industry needs to work hard to reduce its effect on nature and climate.”

Wogaard’s flagship product, the Coolant Saver, was designed with cost-saving in mind as it involves a solution to reclaim good coolant from the swarf bin and return it to the machine for re-use. It has made a huge difference to many businesses since its creation according to the company. It enables them to save money by improving efficiency, protect the environment and reduce disposal costs by cutting down waste, and keep working areas cleaner by diminishing the amount of mess left in the swarf bin.

“Over the last decade we have assisted hundreds of businesses in reducing the environmental impact of their manufacturing activities,” Mr Hutt explains. “Of course, we want to support clients making cost savings and improving their manufacturing processes, but together we have a bigger mission which is to become more sustainable to support the environment. With thousands of units supplied globally, saving millions of litres of coolant every day, along with a great customer base, we are proud that we are achieving this objective are focused on designing more innovative products with this in mind."

However, spreading the message of sustainability is not always easy, as Mr Hutt adds: “We sometimes encounter negative mindsets when we talk to clients about sustainability. Therefore, we often find it more effective to highlight how much our products will save in terms of money and resources first, and then mention that these savings are also good for the environment.”

Wogaard says the Coolant Saver is not a complicated product but its impact on sustainability is clear for all to see.
