Coolant Maintenance & Recycling Case Study

LARGE MILITARY HARDWARE MANUFACTURER

Fluid Service Technologies Survey
After a thorough process audit, FST Identified excessive coolant usage, disposal costs, and downtime due to scrapped parts.

Fluid Service Technologies Process improvements
– Coolant concentrate: Reduced usage from 1200 gallons/month to 660 gallons/month. This resulted in $145,200 in annual savings.
– Waste/Disposal: Reduced from 1000 gallons/month to 400 gallon/month. This resulted in $11,304 in annual savings.
– Recycle/Reclaim: FST implimented a coolant recycle/reclaim program that allowed the manufacter to reclaim 900/gallons every month.
–Production/Downtime: Prior to Maintenance360, the manufacturer scrapped six parts every month due to improper coolant maintenance. After Maintenance360 was implimented, scrapped parts and the associated downtime was reduced by 100%. This resulted in $144,000 in annual savings.

In the first twelve months of implementation, Maintenance360 saved the manufacturer over $300,000.
