Thermal disinfection of cooling lubricants
Thermo-EK — disinfect cooling lubricant instead of disposing of it
The Thermo-EK family of devices disinfects cooling lubricants thermally: the cooling lubricant is drawn in a bypass from the tank of the machine tool, pasteurised — i.e. disinfected — and returned germ-free. This extends the service life of the cooling lubricant, cuts the costs of buying new and disposing of old, and reduces machine downtime.
Above all, you can do without biocides — which improves workplace safety and reduces sick leave.
How thermal disinfection works
In a bypass: while your machine tool keeps producing at the front, disinfection happens at the back — with no production loss.
1
Draw in
The cooling lubricant is drawn directly from the tank of the machine tool — in a bypass, while production continues.
2
Disinfect
Inside the device, the cooling lubricant is heated to approx. 65 °C — this does not harm the cooling lubricant, but bacteria and fungi are reliably killed.
3
Return
The disinfected cooling lubricant is returned to the tank of the machine tool; the heat in the return flow is used to preheat the cooling lubricant in the feed flow — this cools the returning fluid and saves energy.
Your benefits
What thermal disinfection delivers in operation.
No biocides
No hazardous biocides — more workplace safety, less sick leave, lower costs.
Longer service life
The cooling lubricant needs changing far less often — its service life increases noticeably.
Lower costs
Lower spending on new cooling lubricant and disposal of old — it pays off quickly.
Less downtime
Disinfection in a bypass — the machine tool keeps running, no production stop.
Mobile use
The device is like a trolley and can be wheeled from machine tool to machine tool — flexible throughout the hall.
Almost 100 % effective
The proteins of bacteria and fungi are destroyed at approx. 60 °C — making it, as a rule, 100 % effective.
Less odour nuisance
Too high a germ load leads to unpleasant odours — it doesn’t have to be that way.
Performance
As a standalone device or as an option in the 1000 SR or 1000 SRE.
| Device | Throughput | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Thermo-EK | 5 l/min = 300 l/h | 400V / 16A |
| 1000 SR with EK option | 6 l/min = 360 l/h | 400V / 16A |
| 1000 SRE with EK option | 6 l/min = 360 l/h | 400V / 16A |
Three routes to disinfection
As a specialised device or as an option in the 1000 SR or 1000 SRE.
Clean and disinfect
1000 SR with EK option
The all-purpose SR series device with an additional disinfection option — cost-efficient for parts cleaning, machine cleaning and thermal disinfection in a single device.
