Who has a coolant skimmer on their Brother?
No need to skim.
Mostly curious. I did not think anyone with a Brother had a coolant skimmer. One of the reasons I bought a Brother was no tramp oil. I overfilled my coolant tank for the first time since I have had it. Sent the coolant supplier this picture.View attachment 262605
I say it is the coolant not re-emulsifying, they say it is oil from the grease and their recommendation was a $500 coolant skimmer.
I get puddles of brown goo on the table as the coolant in the tool changer dries out and drips on the table. The coolant, if it gets on your hands smells terrible, not like when a coolant tank goes rancid, but after washing your hands several times you can still smell it.
Ok, so what do I do? I am at a loss.
Blaser says it is the machine, the above experience with other Brother owners, says that the same coolant in the same machine is not an issue.
Blaser has previously taken water and coolant samples, they said my water was perfect except for Chloride and Sulfate. Chloride was fairly high 79ppm vs recommended 40ppm max, and sulfate 55ppm vs recommended 40ppm max. It is city water, so not much I can do other than install a RO system or a tramp oil system.
Or switch coolants.
