Did you know that the Water Resources Act affects your cooling lubricant system?

Many companies use cooling lubricant emulsions (KSS) – but not all of them know that these substances must be classified according to water hazard classes (WGK) and that handling them is subject to strict requirements under German water legislation.

The general requirements of the Water Resources Act (WHG) are specified in the AwSV (Ordinance on Installations for Handling Substances Hazardous to Water).
Even individual tanks with a volume of less than 220 l can be AwSV-relevant – but the actual topic only really becomes relevant with automation.

Automation is not a risk – if it is done right:

Manual filling processes are usually observed directly – employees recognize overfilling immediately.

Automated systems, on the other hand, run unattended – and this is precisely why the AwSV requires technical safeguards such as overfill protection, leakage detection and retention devices for such systems.

This is no reason to worry – but a reason to rely on well thought-out systems.

The good news:

There are solutions that not only fulfill these requirements, but also implement them in a practical and reliable manner – first and foremost Brisco Systems GmbH:
With the eMix1500 in combination with the eLevel100, a system is available that:

  • via a fixed cable connection,
  • an integrated level sensor,
  • and an automatic emergency stop system

and thus technically rules out overfilling.

Are you planning to fill your cooling lubricant tanks automatically?

We have been dealing with the requirements of the Water Resources Act and the AwSV for many years. As a system integrator and official sales partner of Brisco Systems in Germany, GIMAT Liquid Monitoring advises companies on the planning and design of AwSV-compliant systems.

With cooling lubricants, droplet size determines the emulsion quality

Small droplets and homogeneous oil distribution are crucial for the service life of your cooling lubricant emulsions – and therefore your operating costs. We have intensively studied the available systems for the automatic mixing and dosing of cooling lubricant emulsions. We compared various providers and technologies – with a clear result:

The eMix1500 from the Swiss company Brisco Systems GmbH convinced us the most in terms of mixing quality, droplet size distribution, ease of use and integration capability. That is why we have included the eMix1500 in our sales program and are now offering it as a central component of our (hybrid) automation solutions in cooling lubricant fluid management.

The eMix1500 works with SmartFusion technology. This ensures a precise mixing ratio, pressure and turbulence. This creates micro-droplets that are optimally distributed in the medium and enable a significantly longer service life. The result: lower concentrate consumption and more stable processes.

Cooling lubricants: Automatically achieve the perfect coolant emulsion with smartFusion technology

Mixing water and oil to create a stable cooling lubricant emulsion is a critical step in metalworking. Many companies have been using Venturi or proportional mixers for years – but the concentration has to be set manually.

However, modern fluid management demands more:

  • Automatic setting of the target concentrations
  • Optimal droplet size
  • Homogeneous oil distribution
  • Real-time control and system integration

However, conventional technology cannot be used in mixing devices with automatically regulated cooling lubricant concentration. Brisco Systems, the Swiss developer and manufacturer of smartFusion technology and the eMix1500, has consistently implemented the high requirements for automatic mixing and is thus setting new standards:

  • Almost perfect emulsion formation with very high dispersion quality
  • Long-term stability without segregation
  • Precise concentration control in real time
  • Integration in hybrid or fully automated
  • Fluid management solutions

The perfect emulsion is now created automatically.
The eMix1500 is the new reference for intelligent coolant mixing.
