NFL Football season is officially under way, and my hometown team, the Cincinnati Bengals, are off to a solid start. With less than a minute left in the game on Sunday afternoon, an interception stopped the New York Jets’ final drive, and Who-Dey Nation began to celebrate the win. Some (not me…not as far as you know) may have even celebrated in accordance with a hallowed Bengals tradition:
While I won’t celebrate just ANYTHING (although I do indeed hold prompt service at the deli counter in high regard,) you might get me excited enough to do the Ickey Shuffle if you start talking about how much you like your Chip Trapper. Just like a caller did this morning.
Now, I’m unabashedly proud of all of our products, so I’m not going to come right out and SAY that I have a favorite any more than I would publicly proclaim one of my children as my favorite. Although, in all fairness, they’re teenage boys, so at any given time, one of them is quite likely edging out the other on The List.
But back to the Chip Trapper – this morning’s caller just wanted to order some more Filter Bags, but in the midst of our conversation, he started “writing the commercial” for the product:
*It’s extended the life of their coolant – regular removal of solids and particulate contamination means the coolant stays clean & effective.
*It ensures the reliability of the machine – clean coolant doesn’t clog the lines, which WILL wreck the part you’re machining, and probably the tooling too.
*It eliminates odors – OK; nobody ever brags about a “spring fresh” aroma in a machine shop, but bacteria-laden, rancid coolant is the WORST. Nobody needs to be working around that. And since that bacteria needs solid surfaces to grow on, filtered coolant is fresh coolant.
*It’s EASY (part 1) – it’ll pump 55 gallons of dirty coolant into the drum in about 90 seconds. Turn the valve and reverse the direction of the Reversible Drum Vac, and it’ll pump freshly filtered coolant back into the sump just as quickly.
*It’s EASY (part 2) – the Filter Bag holds over 5 gallons (almost 3/4 of a cubic foot) of chips, and the system comes with two of them so you can use one while cleaning out the other.
EXAIR’s Chip Trapper comes in 30, 55, or 110 Gallon Sizes, depending on your needs.
If you’ve got a machine shop and DON’T have a Chip Trapper (yet,) call me; let’s talk. If you DO have a Chip Trapper and you like it as much as my caller today did, DEFINITELY give me a call. I might even do the Ickey Shuffle with you.
