Operating procedure for equipment preparation before filling (replacing) the emulsion (cutting fluid).
Conduct standard cleaning procedure before filling (replacing) the emulsion (cutting fluid) (based on the KAMAZ plant experience):
- Drain used cutting fluid completely (including from the “dead” areas);
- Thoroughly clean any accessible internal surfaces of the equipment by mechanical means;
- Fill the container with 5% working solution of technical detergent TEHMOS-2.
- Wash the system by circulation for 2-3 hours.
- Remove any dirt from accessible parts of the system while the detergent is circulated;
- Drain the detergent completely (including from the “dead” areas);
- Remove dirt and other wastes that got into the tanks from the pipelines;
- Wash the system by circulation with 0.5% disinfectant solution of bactericide IK-7 (or foreign brand) for 4 hours;
- Drain the disinfectant solution completely;
- Rinse the system with clean warm water;
- Fill the system with the working cutting fluid solution with a concentration that is 1-2% higher than the standard values (to compensate for the “dead areas” and residual contamination).
Following these recommendations will ensure long life and top performance of your cutting fluids.
