Packaging and storage of cutting fluid

packing
1. Large can packaging, 1000 liter plastic drum capacity (less manufacturers provide packaging of this specification);
2. Large drum packaging, most commonly 200 liter iron drums; Some manufacturers offer specifications of 208 liters or 209 liters;
3. Small bucket packaging, most commonly 18 liter or 20 liter plastic buckets; Some manufacturers offer 25 liter specifications.
deposit
Store indoors away from light, heat, and moisture; The ideal storage temperature is 4-30 degrees Celsius; The specific upper and lower limits need to refer to each company's own product storage instructions.
The best placement method is to place it sideways as shown in the picture on the right:
If it is not necessary to temporarily place it outdoors, be sure to cover the bucket with a rainproof cloth.
There is a storage period limit for cutting fluids: generally speaking, water-soluble products have an effective storage period of 1-3 years from the production date (depending on the variety and manufacturer), while pure oil products have an effective storage period of 2-5 years from the production date (depending on the variety and manufacturer). Products that have exceeded their storage period must undergo quality testing to confirm their normal condition before they can be used.
Therefore, storage and use should follow the principle of "first in, first out".
Barreled cutting fluid should be stored in the warehouse. If it needs to be placed outdoors, the oil barrel must be covered with waterproof canvas to prevent rainwater from entering the barrel. If rainwater enters the barrel, the cutting oil will emulsify and deteriorate, making it easy for the cutting oil to be scrapped.
Oil drums that have been opened and sealed must be stored in the warehouse. The warehouse should pay attention to ventilation and keep them dry, as temperature can affect the performance of the cutting fluid. It is not advisable to store them in an overheated area for a long time.
The barrel mouth of the cutting fluid is large, and when the lid is opened and used, the oil barrel lid should be tightly closed to prevent dirt and water from seeping in.
The oil barrel is best placed horizontally, with wooden wedges at both ends to prevent rolling. If it is necessary to place the barrel straight, invert the oil barrel with the lid facing downwards. Or tilt the oil drum slightly to prevent rainwater from overflowing the surface of the drum and entering the oil drum.
Water has a negative impact on any lubricating oil. No matter how well the lid is sealed, changes in temperature day and night can cause thermal expansion and contraction of the air inside the barrel. Expansion and contraction cause an imbalance in pressure between the inside and outside of the barrel. If there is water on the lid, it will be absorbed into the barrel and contaminate the cutting fluid.
Temperature has a significant impact on cutting fluid, and long-term exposure to outdoor sunlight can separate the oil components in the cutting fluid. Therefore, it is better to store it indoors, with the end of the barrel facing upwards.
