Industrial Coolant offers High Performance,
Low Environmental Impact

Harry Miller Corp. announces a new semi-synthetic coolant, Kleerkut® 4900, for industrial machining and grinding applications. Kleerkut® 4900 is specially designed to meet the demands of high-temperature alloys, stainless steel and titanium processes. The product minimizes environmental impact in three ways: increasing the longevity of the coolant through exceptional bacterial resistance, reducing the need for additional chemical additives, and lowering the volume of industrial chemical waste that must be handled.

Mike Naftzinger, Operations Manager/Shift Coordinator of Shalmet Corp., reports that the product promotes excellent carbide tool life in Shalmet's stainless steel processing operation which machines and grinds a variety of high-temperature alloys and 300-400 grade stainless steel. He said, "My department uses Kleerkut® 4900 in the wire shavers and centerless grinders. The product has solved a number of problems I was experiencing in the shop. First of all, we have had it in our centerless grinders since September, and haven't once had to add biocide for bacterial control. Our previous coolant was consuming as much as five gallons every other week, and our operators were continually complaining about the odor. Secondly, the coolant provides a very dry "cake" on our filter paper, which is easier from a waste-treatment perspective, as well as the fact we know particulate is not carrying back to the header and causing scratches on our bars."

Harry Miller Corp.'s Vice President and Technical Director for Harry Miller Corp., Nick Ariano, says Kleerkut® 4900 is a versatile semi-synthetic metalworking lubricant that can be utilized in a wide range of applications including turning, milling, grinding, shaving and straightening operations. It provides sufficient lubrication for all steel grades, including stainless, hardened alloys, titanium alloys, and cast iron. It can be used on aluminum or other non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass or bronze. Ariano said, "Kleerkut® 4900 exhibits superior lubrication and die life in high speed turning or cutting processes. It is a very low foaming lubricant and is exceptional in its resistance to microbial degradation. It is also designed to have extremely good compatibility with central systems utilizing filtration."

Another early adopter says coolant costs have been reduced significantly since the introduction of Kleerkut® 4900 into their factory. Operators in this facility report that they appreciate the cleanliness of their workplace and the pleasant smell of the Kleerkut® 4900. This product is now used in every machine in the plant and, in conjunction with an on-site reclamation unit, there is zero waste discharge.

Harry Miller Corp.'s President, Bruce Entwisle, said, "Our laboratory development team and field representatives work with our clients to provide solutions for any manufacturing difficulties they may have. Kleerkut® is another example of our mission to develop the best custom chemicals to serve the specific needs of each of our clients in the metalworking industry. Kleerkut® 4900 utilizes the latest technologies in corrosion resistance and combines them with specialty esters to promote good tool wear, resist misting, eliminate excessive additives, and reduce overall waste."
