Turning, Threading & Milling

Today, most lathes can greatly increase the metal removal rate with high pressure coolant while reducing thermal shock and the premature tool failure that results from it. The vapor barrier, which forms when coolant boils from the heat generated from the tool and the work piece, can be penetrated with high pressure. The coolant used in these high pressure applications can be recirculated, however, most conventional positive displacement high-pressure coolant pumps require very clean fluids, requiring expensive, high-maintenance filtration.

High pressure coolant in mills and machining centers provides better cooling, increased tool life, reduced friction, and improved surface finishes. High pressure coolant removes chips from the work process and reduces the problems associated with re-cutting of chips. Hydra-Cell Pro coolant pumps can handle 250 micron particles.

No problem machining cast iron with Hydra-Cell Pro

Machining cast iron generates a large amount of dust and fine powder, and when combined with machine tool coolant is difficult to filter out, creating issues for screw pumps. It is the sub-20 microns particles which causes the damage to screw pumps! Hydra-Cell Pro’s seal-less design can handle these solid-loaded coolants reliably.

Long life and minimal maintenance costs

Any servicing is simple. With no dynamic seals wearing or tight internal tolerances to set or maintain, servicing can be carried out in any basic workshop. Depending on the duty, an annual oil change, and typically once every 2-3 years, a low cost liquid end replacement kit is all that is required. A true “fit and forget” solution.

Energy efficient and reduced energy costs

Being a true positive displacement pump, the seal-less design of the Hydra-Cell Pro pump eliminates internal flow losses giving overall efficiencies of 78% - 90%.
