Definition

Local waste regulations should be observed when disposing of used cutting fluids. Every operator is naturally interested in reducing the disposal costs for used cutting fluids. This highlights the absolute necessity of selecting the best cutting fluid for the job in hand and of maintaining it properly in order to minimize the amount of cutting fluid which has to be disposed of. The methods for splitting and disposal are summarized.

Disposal of Cutting Fluids

Maintenance procedures allow cutting fluids to remain in use for long periods of time. Nevertheless, a point can come at which the level of solid and fluid contaminants has reached such a stage that the fluid has to be disposed of and the system refilled with fresh fluid.

This poses no particular problem in the case of neat cutting and grinding oils which may either be regenerated on-site or used for less demanding...
