Abstract

A machine coolant recycling system has a holding tank in which machine coolant to be recycled is accumulated. The machine coolant in the holding tank is continuously filtered for a predetermined period of time and the surface of the machine coolant is continuously skimmed to remove undesired contaminants therefrom. The machine coolant from the holding tank is supplied to a centrifuge where it is centrifuged and is then pumped to a blending tank where it is chemically tested and reconstituted to its original composition. The machine coolant is then again continuously filtered until it is needed.
