Thread: Centec Coolant
31/10/2021 17:35:41

Thanks for the replies. Looking at the drip tray there is no holes/outlets that i can see, the only drain is the bend in the edge of drip tray formed as a gully which runs into the container fitted to the back of the cabinet. This all looks original and not created by a later owner.

The container appears to hold about 8 litres of coolant and has been divided into two with the main section taking the run off and allows the swarf to settle out. There are holes about a third way up into the second section where a coolant pump would be fitted??, not sure if 8 litres is big enough with a suds pump fitted to the container.

Thanks for your help

I have a Centec 2B and I am trying to setup the coolant on it.

There is a tank which hangs from the back adjacent to the drip tray cut out. I presume used coolant runs back into this tank. This tank is not very big, so any coolant pump fitted to it would soon empty it out before being replenished from the drip tray.

There is a large well in the bottom of the cabinet which would hold enough coolant.

I don't understand where the pump should be sited and how coolant in the back tank gets into the well in the bottom of the cabinet (if my understanding of how it works is correct)?

If anyone has coolant set up on there Centec could they give me advice please. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
