Title:
METALWORKING APPARATUS WITH CUBRICATING AND COOLING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001032329
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A metalworking apparatus comprising a drive section and a die pack assembly. The drive section includes a reciprocally movable ram which is movable through forward working and rearward return strokes through the die pack assembly. The drive section is lubricated by a gear oil based on polyglycol, and the die pack assembly includes a water-based coolant. Seals are used to prevent cross-contamination of the gear oil and coolant. However, contamination does occur. The present invention therefore provides a removal apparatus for removing any polyglycol from the gear oil that has contaminated the coolant. The contaminated coolant is removed from and then returned to the die pack assembly on a continuous basis. The removal apparatus preferably includes a separation tank (6) which separates the polyglycol from the coolant. The removal apparatus is preferably a portable system.
