53L165 - Walter Coolcut Coolant Mixer and Proportioner

Precision Coolant Management for Industrial Machining

The Walter Coolcut Fluid Proportioning System (53L165) is an essential engineered solution for facility managers and machinists seeking to optimize their metalworking fluid processes. In the realm of tribology and machining, the concentration of your cutting fluid is a critical variable that directly impacts tool life, surface finish, and machine longevity. Manual mixing often leads to inconsistent ratios—too rich, and you waste valuable budget on excess concentrate; too lean, and you risk corrosion, bacterial growth, and catastrophic tool failure. This proportioning system eliminates human error by utilizing a precision Venturi mechanism to blend water and coolant concentrate automatically.

Designed for seamless integration into industrial environments, the unit mounts directly onto standard 205L (55-gallon) drums using a standard 2-inch bung opening. It operates solely on water pressure, requiring no electrical connections, which simplifies installation and enhances safety in wet environments. The system draws the concentrate directly from the drum, mixes it with the incoming water stream at a user-defined ratio, and dispenses the perfect emulsion directly into your machine sumps or transfer containers. This ensures that every drop of fluid entering your machinery is optimized for performance.

Beyond immediate performance benefits, the 53L165 contributes to a safer and cleaner workspace. Proper concentration control is vital for minimizing health risks associated with metalworking fluids, such as dermatitis or respiratory issues caused by bacterial overgrowth in lean mixtures. By maintaining the manufacturer's recommended concentration, you ensure the biostability of the fluid. The robust construction of the Walter Coolcut system ensures durability against chemical corrosion, making it a long-term investment in your shop's productivity and operational efficiency.
