Instructions for Jokisch Coolants
Before Use:
- Remove existing coolant.
- Flush system for 5-10 hours with
Jokisch SR-X1 Cleaner
at a mix of 1% into the existing coolant by volume to kill off bacteria and
disinfect the tank.
During Use:
- Check coolant with a refractometer twice a week to ensure
proper concentration.
When reading coolant mixtures, a clear defined line indicates a clean
coolant and gives an accurate reading. A fuzzy line indicates high
amounts of contaminants such as lube oils in the coolant, resulting in an
inaccurate reading.
- Skim tramp oils once a week.
Use a non-emulsifying lubrication oil such as
Interlube 68, or ESSO Febis K68 (in Canada) or Shell Tonna 68,
in that order of effectiveness.
- Remove micro-fines and chips once a month. Pump out coolant
to empty drums once a month. Clean the tanks from accumulation of
micro-fines and chips, and then pump the same filtered coolant back
in. This is important when working with a variety of materials such as
cast iron, aluminum, stainless steel and brass.
- Aerate the tank once a week. Hold an air line into the coolant tank
and aerate tank. This breaks the contact between the micro-fines
at the bottom of the tank resulting in a reduction of the amount of
dissimilar metal reaction.
After Use:
Over time, the base of your coolant reservoir may start to build up
with possible contaminants such as heavy greases and metal fines. If a
variety of metal fines build up and are not filtered or cleaned out of
the coolant tank, an electro-chemical reaction can take place which will
drop the pH value of the coolant. This process may result
in potential rusting and higher bacterial growth.
For disposal, consult your local municipal/county regulations.
