One of your biggest responsibilities as a business owner is controlling costs. Every month, you likely review the items that impact your costs. It’s almost certain that coolant ranks right up there as one of your biggest expenses. To help reduce this cost, consider buying oil water separators for all your machines so that you can recycle your coolant.
You may not think of an oil water separator as a necessary expense, but using this tool can allow you to recycle coolant multiple times before you must dispose of it. You can get many uses from the same coolant before it becomes too dirty when you separate the dirt and oil. Many business owners report reducing their coolant costs by up to 80% over time by beginning to recycle.
The cost of adding an oil water separator to each of your machines may seem steep, particularly if you have multiple machines in your shop. However, once you crunch the numbers, you’ll see that these will quickly pay for themselves in reduced coolant costs. In addition, these represent a one-time expenditure as opposed to the recurring costs of coolant. You’ll also have the added benefit of having lower coolant disposal costs when you reduce your coolant usage so drastically.
Your employees will thank you for adding those oil water separators, too. The shop and the air in it will be much cleaner and smell much better. You may even see a reduction in the number of sick days needed for your shop.
Talk with your distributor about how adding oil water separators can reduce your coolant costs. They can offer lots of resources for helping you run a cleaner and more efficient shop. This is one change to your bottom line you’ll be happy to see.
