5 Gallon Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate

5 Gallon Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate - For Flywheel Grinders

This 5 Gallon Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate is a vital component for the effective and safe operation of your Kwik-Way and Van Norman flywheel grinders. Designed to be mixed with water, this synthetic coolant provides crucial cooling, lubrication, and rust inhibition to both the workpiece and your machine’s components. Proper coolant flow is essential for optimal grinding performance and extending the life of your coolant pump by preventing excessive sludge buildup.

5 Gallon Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate - Maximize Performance & Protect Your Flywheel Grinder

Maintain peak performance and extend the life of your Kwik-Way and Van Norman flywheel grinders with this 5 Gallon Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate. This high-quality synthetic coolant is specially formulated to meet the rigorous demands of flywheel grinding, providing critical benefits during every operation.

The Indispensable Role of Grinding Coolant:

Coolant is not merely water; it’s a precisely engineered fluid essential for the grinding process. It actively directs flow onto the workpiece just ahead of the grinding wheel, performing several vital functions: * Superior Cooling: Dissipates the immense heat generated during grinding, preventing thermal distortion of the workpiece and preserving the integrity of the grinding wheel. * Enhanced Lubrication: Provides lubrication between the grinding wheel and the workpiece, reducing friction, preventing loading of the wheel, and promoting a smoother cut. * Chip Evacuation: Helps to flush away grinding swarf and debris, keeping the cutting area clear and preventing recirculation of abrasive particles.

Grinding without adequate coolant flow is not recommended and can lead to poor finishes, premature wheel wear, and potential damage to your machine or workpiece.

Key Benefits of Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate:

• Synthetic Formulation: Our concentrate is a synthetic grinding coolant that offers excellent performance characteristics.
• Rust Inhibitor: It effectively acts as a rust inhibitor to protect your valuable machine components from corrosion. However, always remember to wipe down your machine thoroughly after each use for optimal rust prevention.
• Economical & Efficient: This 5-gallon concentrate is designed to be mixed with water according to instructions, providing a cost-effective solution for large-volume coolant needs.
• System Compatibility: Compatible with standard grinder coolant systems, which typically involve a tank or reservoir, a pump, and a nozzle.

Coolant System Maintenance for Longevity:

Regular maintenance of your coolant system is crucial: * Frequent Cleaning: Excessive buildup of grinding sludge can severely impact performance and lead to premature failure of the coolant pump. The coolant tank should be cleaned frequently – typically after every 25-30 flywheels or every 30 days, whichever comes first. * Proper Cleaning Procedure: Cleaning involves completely dumping the old coolant, thoroughly cleaning the tank, flushing the system, and refilling with the correct water and concentrate mixture.

Mixing Note: The recommended mixing ratio is 40 to 1, or 2 cups per 5 gallons of water. This specific 5-gallon concentrate (000-2115-20) is generally for standard grinding applications. It’s not uncommon for grinding technicians to “tweak” the concentration amount to find the sweet spot of coolant to water mix that cuts well without loading the grinding stone. Trying minor mix ratio adjustments to counteract the affects that temperature and humidity, or different grinding stones and flywheel metals can have on the grind performance.

Ensure your grinding operations are smooth, efficient, and protected by utilizing the appropriate Kwik-Way Grinding Coolant Concentrate.
