Succeeded in cutting maintenance cost significantly due to high sludge collection capability.
We are satisfied with the high squeeze performance. FINE MAG is a machine that makes us want to recommend to others.
Reason for implementation
At first, we were using a coolant processing machine made by other company, but we were not satisfied with its durability or filtration accuracy.
After about two years of use, the machine became malfunctioned.
When we were ready for making a changeover to a new machine, we decided to introduce FINE MAG made by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Finetech because its quality had been well known within our company from long before.
After introduction, we found its performance more than we could ever hope for.
Since then, we have replaced all the coolant processing machines of our factory by FINE MAG.
Benefits after installation
The conventional coolant processing machine we had used for the concentration pit was unable to recover sludge completely from the pit.
To recover the remaining sludge on a periodic basis, we had to call a sludge recovery company from the outside.
To avoid the necessity to stop our operation during the sludge recovery, we asked the sludge recovery company to work on our days off.
Sometimes, however, even when we did not want to stop our operation, we had no choice but to call the sludge recovery company to work, and it had a negative effect on our production.
However, when we saw the volume of sludge recovered by FINE MAG after its introduction, we were surprised first at how large the volume of recovered sludge we had never seen before.
Before introducing FINE MAG, we had to call the sludge recovery company four or five times a year.
After introducing, however, we have been able to reduce the number of calling to twice a year, if at all, now.
Moreover, the durability of the rollers of FINE MAG is amazing.
There are some products that require frequent roller replacement despite the replacement cost that is not low.
On the other hand, because FINE MAG’s rollers are long-lasting, it can reduce not only the replacement cost but also work time necessary for replacement.
Purification of grinding fluid has an effect on both machining and quality.
FINE MAG we have introduced into our facilities has sludge recovery capabilities that can fully meet our requirements.
Maintenance and after-sales service
Sumitomo Heavy Industries Finetech provides us adequate after-sale service with reliable dealing with any trouble after installation and operation.
As for our daily maintenance, we occasionally used FINE MAG improperly shortly after installation, so that we left sludge and had it solidified.
Since we receive advices about how to clean FINE MAG, we have had no such difficulty in cleaning.
Whenever we have a trouble with FINE MAG, a service engineer of Sumitomo Heavy Industries Finetech quickly comes to our operation site, examine the situation and solve the trouble. Thanks to their reliable service, we can use their products with no worry.
Not only for high performance but also for qualified after-sale service, we recommend FINE MAG to many persons concerned while indicating their good points.
Benefits of installation
- Succeeded in cutting maintenance cost significantly due to high sludge collection capability.
- Reduced the frequency and work time for replacing rollers because they can be used for a long period of time.
- Excellent squeezing performance that exceeded our expectations!
