Control coolant purchasing, disposal, and operating cost.
Coolant purchases, waste hauling, and fluid-management labor are recurring operating costs. Recycling keeps usable coolant in service and provides a measurable basis for evaluating a capital investment.
Three recurring coolant-management costs
Review new-fluid purchases, waste-fluid disposal, and fluid-management labor together to establish the plant's current operating-cost baseline.
Coolant that is purchased and later hauled away creates both procurement and disposal costs. Compare potential reductions in these costs with the quoted system investment to estimate project-specific simple payback.
Four inputs for a complete capital request
Combine projected savings, an application review, system sizing, and a formal quotation with specifications and pricing.
Estimate operating savings
Use recent coolant purchases and disposal invoices to estimate annual savings and potential payback.

An EdjeTech engineer reviews the fluid, contaminants, process, and facility requirements before recommending a system.

Request a quote →Equipment ownership versus outsourced fluid management
Compare facility-owned equipment with an outsourced fluid-management service based on capital availability, internal staffing, required scope, and recurring cost.
Buy the equipment
Equipment ownership converts recurring fluid and disposal costs into a fixed asset. Estimate simple payback by comparing the quoted system investment with projected monthly savings from fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance.
Use an outsourced fluid-management service
A service agreement assigns defined fluid-management responsibilities to a provider as a recurring operating expense. Scope, staffing, reporting, and performance commitments depend on the agreement.
Standardize coolant equipment across multiple facilities
Standardizing equipment can simplify evaluation, spare parts, consumables, training, and support across multiple facilities. Model selection still follows each plant's fluid, process, layout, and required flow.
Select models by application
Equipment is selected for each facility's operating environment. Machine shops use C.R.O.S.S. for shop-wide coolant recovery, with standard models processing up to 1,500 GPH. Tube and steel mills use TMCRS for real-time filtration engineered around the mill's required flow.
Plan replacement items by model
Coalescers, media, and filter bags are identified by model and nameplate number. Standardizing equipment and recording part identifiers can simplify storeroom planning and support requests.
Track performance at each site
Establish a baseline from fluid purchases and disposal invoices, then compare the same measures after installation. Each facility can be evaluated using a consistent operating and financial method.
Questions a capex review asks
Capital. The system is a fixed asset. Compare the quoted investment with current fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance costs to estimate project-specific simple payback.
Approval authority and escalation thresholds are defined by the company's capital-expenditure policy. Support the request with savings projected from facility records, an engineering review, and a quotation with system specifications and pricing.
Use pre-installation fluid purchases and disposal invoices as the baseline. Compare new-fluid spend and disposal volume over an equivalent operating period after installation.
An EdjeTech engineer reviews the fluid, contaminants, operating volume, and current management practices. The savings estimate can then be evaluated against the recommended system and your actual purchasing and disposal records.
Standardization can simplify vendor management, replacement-item planning, and training when the equipment range supports each facility's application. Machine-shop sites can standardize C.R.O.S.S. models and associated equipment. Tube-mill and steel-mill sites require TMCRS configurations engineered around their mill flow.
