If you run a CNC machine shop, you know that coolant is like the lifeblood of your machines. It keeps things cool, lubricated, and running smoothly. But did you know that how you mix and dispense your coolant can make a huge difference in performance, cost, and even the smell of your shop? Yep, nobody wants a stinky sump!
That’s where a CECOR mixer and dispenser come in—think of them as your coolant’s personal trainer and delivery service. They keep your coolant in top shape while making your life easier. Let’s break it down!
1. No More Guesswork—Get the Perfect Coolant Mix Every Time
Mixing coolant manually is like making lemonade without measuring—sometimes it’s too strong, sometimes too weak. The same thing happens with coolant!
· Too much coolant in the mix? You’re wasting money and could end up with gunky buildup.
· Too little coolant? Your tools wear out faster, your machines overheat, and you might get a rough finish on your parts.
A coolant mixer ensures you always get the perfect ratio of coolant and water, keeping your machines happy and your shop running smoothly.
2. Save Time & Ditch the Mess
Let’s be honest—refilling coolant manually is a pain. It takes time, it’s messy, and if you spill, you’re left with a slippery crime scene on your shop floor.
With a coolant dispenser, you:
✅ Save time by automating refills
✅ Avoid spills and messes
✅ Keep your shop floor safer (because nobody likes a coolant slip-n-slide)
CECOR’s dispensers are designed to make coolant management quick, clean, and easy. You just push a button and go—no more wrestling with buckets or overfilling sumps!
3. Keep Your Coolant Fresh & Your Shop Smelling Great
Ever walked past a machine and caught a whiff of something nasty? That’s old, contaminated coolant. Yuck.
Over time, coolant collects:
🔴 Tramp oil (which feeds bacteria and fungi)
🔴 Tiny metal shavings (which can scratch your parts)
🔴 Dirt and grime (which kills performance)
A properly mixed and dispensed coolant system keeps things fresh. And if you pair it with a sump cleaner (like CECOR’s Sump Shark®), you can suck out all the nasty stuff and keep your shop smelling more like cutting metal and less like a swamp.
4. Save Money (and Your Tools!)
Coolant isn’t cheap, and neither are cutting tools. But bad coolant can destroy both if you’re not careful.
Using a mixer and dispenser helps:
💰 Extend coolant life (less waste = more savings)
🛠 Keep tools sharper longer (because dirty coolant is abrasive)
⏳ Reduce machine downtime (because fresh coolant = better performance)
The longer your coolant lasts and the better it performs, the less money you spend replacing it and the tools it ruins. Win-win!
5. Healthier Shop, Happier Team
Nobody wants to work in a shop that reeks of bacteria-filled coolant. When coolant goes bad, it can cause:
☠️ Skin irritation
🤢 Respiratory issues
👎 Gross smells that make you want to plug your nose
By using a proper mixing and dispensing system, you minimize bacterial growth, keep coolant circulating properly, and make your shop a cleaner, healthier place to work.
The Bottom Line: A Mixer & Dispenser is a No-Brainer for CNC Shops
If you want:
✅ Perfectly mixed coolant every time
✅ Less mess and hassle when refilling
✅ Fresh-smelling, high-performing coolant
✅ Longer-lasting tools and machines
✅ More money in your pocket
Consider upgrading your coolant management system with a CECOR mixer and dispenser. Your CNC machines (and your employees) will thank you!
