 Tramp oil contamination can quietly drive up operating costs in any machine shop. When hydraulic oil, way lube, and machine oil migrate into coolant sumps, the effects are immediate: bacterial growth, unpleasant odors, reduced tool life, poor surface finish, and coolant that must be discarded instead of recycled. For shops managing 10 to 20 CNC sumps, this problem can add up to significant annual expenses in wasted coolant and hazardous waste disposal.

The PRAB MCR2 and MCR5 are portable mobile coolant recycling systems designed for machine shops, job shops, and metalworking facilities that need effective coolant rejuvenation directly at the machine level. These compact, mobile units provide a practical alternative for operations that do not require the scale or investment of a central Guardian system. Built for flexibility and ease of use, both systems can be rolled from machine to machine using heavy-duty locking casters, making them ideal for busy production environments.

Operation is simple and efficient. The units connect to standard shop air, the skimmer is positioned at the sump, and the system begins removing tramp oil, separating solids, and returning clean, reusable coolant back to the machine. Because the process requires no electricity, no dedicated plumbing, and no installation, shops can begin improving coolant quality immediately with minimal disruption to daily operations.

The MCR2 is well suited for individual machines and lighter-duty applications, while the MCR5 is designed for higher-volume sumps and for operations where one unit serves multiple machines throughout the week. Both models ship fully assembled and ready to use, allowing teams to put them into service from day one.

By helping extend coolant life, reduce waste, improve machining performance, and lower maintenance costs, the PRAB MCR2 and MCR5 offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for coolant management. For facilities looking to reduce tramp oil contamination and improve overall shop efficiency, these mobile coolant recyclers deliver practical performance where it matters most—at the machine.
