Why Buy a Fill-Station?
Free your maintenance team and operators from unproductive chores. The Fill-Station takes guesswork out of coolant delivery. Automatic sump monitoring and delivery ensures that machines won't run out of coolant compromising production runs, tool life, and quality.
That's why you should buy a Fill-Station.

| From the concentrate… |
Electrical Panel
This enclosure contains the brains. A PLC with touch panel interface runs and monitors all the components continuously. Internally, the cabinet is Allen Bradley component tough, with easy access to all components and configurations.
|
Pump Panel
This enclosure contains the heart of the system. This water powered pump automatically proportions the correct amount of water with your specified amount of concentrate. It's fully protected by a water filter (standard 10µ) and control solenoid in case of shutdown. There's a pressure regulator with dial indicator (future versions will be visible in the window) and a mixing tube. Up to 25 gpm, 20 feet vertically and 800 feet lateral. Backflow check valve. |
Coolant Suction Stalk
This component is designed to easily fit into your drum or tote. From the stainless steel junction box on top to the tube spacers, to the bung hole adapter, to the level floats and one way valve on the bottom, this is one solid piece of equipment. The stalk signals the system when your coolant concentrate needs to be changed, and when it is so dangerously low that it must shut down the entire system. |
| To the machine… |
Machine Sump Level Sensors
Level sensors using guided wave radar or ultrasound. They handle dirt and chips. |
Level sensor array shown here being tested on simulated sumps before installation. |
|
Machine Junction Box
Regulation enclosures, E-stop prominent, with easy to reach components and good connections. Gives every operator and everyone passing by the ability to avoid problems.
|
Floor Spill Sensors
We don't believe anything is perfect, we've been around too long. But we can provide you backup and more backup, as much as you want. If a sump overflows, these devices will let you know. |
Solenoids – 24v to 220v
They look small and unimportant, but they play the most critical role in the system – turning the flows on and off, and communicating with the controlling panel. |
