The Critical Role of Coolant in Turning Operations

Why Turning Operations Require Coolant Purification

Turning is a continuous cutting process that generates a large volume of fine metal chips. When these chips are not removed immediately, they can cause serious machining issues.

  • Continuously circulate in the coolant tank
  • Adhere to the tool–workpiece contact area
  • Cause surface scratches and unstable accuracy

Relying on manual cleaning or frequent coolant replacement is both time-consuming and cost-wasting. A truly stable solution requires integrating coolant filtration systems and reliable chip/sludge removal machines into daily machining operations.


BEST-1 Coolant Purification & Regeneration System

Stable Coolant = Stable Turning Quality

BEST-1 is a high-efficiency coolant oil separator, specifically designed for long-hour CNC machining environments. As professional coolant purification equipment, it offers clear advantages:

  • No consumables: Washable stainless steel filters, no filter paper required
  • No downtime required: Continuous purification during machining
  • Ozone sterilization: Effectively prolongs coolant life and reduces coolant costs

By continuously filtering debris, tramp oil, and contaminants, BEST-1 functions as a powerful CNC machine coolant purification system, keeping coolant conditions stable and predictable — an essential requirement for high-precision turning operations.


Foodie Chip Sludge Removal Machine

Foodie is a high-performance chip sludge removal machine, engineered for fast and flexible deployment on the shop floor.

  • No consumables: Minimal maintenance with long service life
  • No downtime required: Continuous chip removal during operation
  • No power required: Flexible movement and shop-floor friendly

Foodie prevents chip recirculation in the turning zone, dramatically reducing surface damage and tool wear, while maintaining cleaner coolant conditions throughout the process.


BEST-1 × Foodie

Coolant Purification + Chip Removal = The Complete Solution

In real machining environments, a single device only solves half the problem. The most effective strategy is combining two dedicated systems:

  • BEST-1 — a high-efficiency tramp oil skimmer, oil water separator machine, and coolant oil separator that maintains fluid quality
  • Foodie — a dedicated chip sludge removal solution that eliminates solid contamination at the source

The result?

  • ✔ More stable surface quality
  • ✔ Longer tool life
  • ✔ Lower defect rates
  • ✔ Better production efficiency and cost control

Big wins. Zero drama.


Final Thoughts: Machining Stability Starts Where You Can’t See

Most machining issues don’t come from the machine tool itself — they come from underestimated coolant conditions.

Once coolant filtration, oil water separation, and chip removal systems are taken seriously, one thing becomes clear:

Machining quality can be systematically controlled.

Now is the perfect time to reassess your turning operation and let your coolant perform the way it’s supposed to. The rest? Just let BEST-1 and Foodie handle it.
