Hybrid coolant recycling
for mixed facility layouts.

One C.R.O.S.S. supplies clean coolant through facility piping to concentrated machine areas and through portable transfer equipment to isolated machines. Both delivery methods use the same recycling system and clean-coolant supply for machines operating with a compatible coolant program.

Hybrid configuration

Combine piped distribution with portable transfer

Facility layouts often combine concentrated machine areas with isolated equipment. A hybrid configuration uses the optional CRS to distribute clean coolant where piping is practical and portable equipment for isolated machines within the compatible coolant program.

One system supports both configurationsThe optional Coolant Return System supplies the piped cells, while the same C.R.O.S.S. clean tank supplies portable transfer equipment.
Consistent coolant concentrationThe proportioner mixes concentrate and water at the required concentration for the compatible fluid program served by both delivery methods.
Portable dirty-coolant collectionA Green Machine or another compatible transfer device collects dirty coolant from machine reservoirs and delivers it to C.R.O.S.S.

Configuration fit

When hybrid coolant transfer fits

Hybrid systems are appropriate when clean-coolant piping is practical for part of the facility but portable transfer is more efficient for isolated machines or secondary areas.

Hybrid fits when
01A dense main cell where short runs serve many machines
02Isolated machines where a pipe run would serve only one or two delivery points
03Piped and portable areas use a compatible coolant family and target concentration
04A phased distribution plan for selected machine cellsPortable transfer can serve the remaining equipment.
All-central or all-batch fits when
05A dense layout allows clean-coolant piping to serve every required delivery pointCentral deployment →

Configuration factors

The piped area is determined for each facility. Pipe length, delivery points, machine density, sump volume, and operating schedule determine which areas receive clean-coolant piping and which use portable transfer.

Piped and portable delivery

Define the clean-coolant distribution area

Evaluate machine density, required delivery points, pipe length, sump volume, and service frequency to establish the piped and portable sections of the facility.

C.R.O.S.S. processes coolant and supplies clean coolant for central and portable delivery methods.
Green Machine portable sump cleanerPortable transfer role
The Green Machine collects dirty coolant. With the DTS configuration, it can also return clean coolant to isolated machines.
Concentrated machine areas

Clean-coolant piping serves multiple delivery points

The optional Coolant Return System supplies clean coolant at 35 to 40 PSI. Multiple delivery points can be connected to a shared facility piping run.

Isolated machines

Portable transfer serves machines outside the piped area

Isolated grinders, lathes, or secondary departments receive clean coolant from a transfer unit rather than a dedicated pipe run. They use the same recycled coolant supplied by C.R.O.S.S.

Use facility piping for machine areas with multiple delivery points. Serve isolated equipment with a transfer unit.

Run length, machines served, required delivery points, and sump volume determine the boundary.

Equipment roles

One recycling system supports both delivery methods

C.R.O.S.S. processes and stores clean coolant for both delivery methods. The optional CRS supplies the piped area, and portable equipment serves isolated machines.

Configuration questions

Planning a hybrid recycling system

  • 01

    Do piped and portable delivery require separate recycling systems?

    No. One C.R.O.S.S. can support both methods. Size the system to the facility's total coolant volume and required processing rate.

    See C.R.O.S.S. →
  • 02

    Which areas should receive clean-coolant piping?

    Evaluate pipe length, number of delivery points, machine density, sump volumes, and service frequency. An engineer can review the proposed distribution area.

    Estimate potential savings →
  • 03

    Can portable transfer be used before clean-coolant piping is added?

    Yes. A batch configuration can support initial operation, and the optional Coolant Return System can be specified for clean-coolant distribution. Retrofitting an installed unit requires a configuration review.
