GreenCut for Plasma Arc Cutting Tables
GreenCut® Biodegradable Cutting Fluid for Submerged Plasma Arc Cutting
Kinetic K4000 and K5000 CNC Plasma/Gas Profile Cutting & Drilling
Recommended Mix Formula: GreenCut / Water ratio for the Water/Coolant tables:
1 mixed TOTE 264 US Gallons (1,000 liters) of GreenCut Mix Formula consists of:
As the table starts to run low, add the above GreenCut mix formula to the table to fill to the proper level.
The GreenCut needs no changing out, based on over 3 years performance at Service Steel, saving on disposal costs. Just add the Mix Formula as needed to top-up the table coolant levels.
On initial "charging" or filling of the table with the above formula, it is recommended that you add a full 54 US Gals. (205 Liters) of GreenCut Anti-Rust to the table tank; this is to coat the new table with a protective initial coating of Anti-Rust prior to steel plate entering the table for cutting and machining.
Please note that if soft water is encountered which causes excessive foaming, add 0.4 US Gals. (1 inch of Anti-Foam to a 5 gal bucket) of GreenCut Anti-Foam to the above formula.
The above GreenCut Mix Formula has been "field tested" for the last 3 years by Service Steel in Portland, OR, and is recommended by them as an optimum formula for Kinetic systems. GreenCut will not deteriorate, or allow bacterial growth to occur, and "eats" the oil residue. Metal cuttings and burn-off material will sink to the bottom of the tables and will need cleaning out from time-to-time. The GreenCut Mix Formula can be saved and re-used safely.
Service Steel of Portland, OR. Machine Shop Manager, Matt Pisha (cell: 503-572-0902) says:
We specialise in milling, cutting, boring, threading, and Kinetic Plasma Arc burning of steel plates up to 8" thick, cooling and lubricating with the GreenCut Cutting Fluid from LubeCorp.
Asked why he recommends GreenCut to others, Pisha said, "Because it works. Other companies who are buying Kinetic Plasma Cutters come to see what we're doing, and want the assurance that what we're using will work.
Our crew can safely walk on the plates that have been covered in GreenCut, so they're not slick like an oil-based product would leave them. The Greencut smells good and won't leave oily film on the parts and our customers like that, and it's easy to clean up -just rinse it off with water.
It's a clean product; there is no bacterial build-up and won't go sour."
"The GreenCut didn't support the growth of bacteria, which surprised us because usually, once you get a bug problem, you have to really sanitize the system to solve it. With GreenCut, we didn't have to do that which saved us time and money."
