Longer use of machining coolant

Frequent emulsion replacement creates cost and liquid waste. Filtration and condition monitoring may extend its use, but Green programme applicability requires separate clarification.

Programme applicability needs clarification

No saving percentage is promised in advance. Technical scope, partners and funding are checked for your specific case.

Who this is for

Metalworking businesses with measurable coolant consumption and identifiable replacement causes.

Activity and prerequisites

KID-2025 screening references: 25. These are not final classifications or eligibility confirmations.

Check business size, revenue, location, sector exclusions, aid regime and an existing product or service where the model requires it. Missing data remains a question, not a positive assessment.

What changes

Remove chips and tramp oil, filter and replenish according to measured condition.

Measured flowProcess changeVerified result

How the result is verified

Primary measurement

l fresh emulsion / 100 machine hours and l waste fluid transferred during the same period.

Compare similar machines and operations; monitor concentration, microbiology, machining quality and working conditions.

Baseline, target and acceptance

Measure the baseline at your operation. An initial planning approach is around four representative operating weeks, extended or separated for seasonality and product mix. This is a planning method, not a programme requirement.

Agree the target after a trial or engineering assessment. Compare equivalent conditions without compromising quality, safety or hygiene. Retain absolute quantities so a normalized indicator cannot conceal losses.

Who delivers what

PixelAutomate

Machine-level records, deviation alerts and follow-through on corrective action.

Process and equipment

Industrial-fluid technologist, laboratory and filtration supplier.

These are required roles, not contracted suppliers. Responsibilities, data access, timing and acceptance are confirmed before commitment.

When not to proceed

Q&A 44 excludes equipment-operation and maintenance materials from the raw-material definition. Saved emulsion is not a confirmed eligible raw-material outcome. Another circular model requires explicit programme and technical clarification.
