Quick Machining Solutions Ltd is a specialist precision engineering company delivering high-quality CNC machining services to customers across a wide range of industries. From complex prototypes to repeat production runs, the team produces precision components for demanding applications where consistency, quality and reliability are essential.
Maintaining a clean, professional workshop is a key priority for Quick Machining Solutions, not only for operators working on the machines, but also when welcoming customers on site. Continuous investment in new technologies, including robotic loading, supports this commitment. The business operates a wide range of CNC machine tools, from multi-axis lathes to high-speed machining centres, with machines suited to components ranging from just 1mm up to over 1 metre in size.
The Challenge: Coolant Stability, Hard Water and Service Support
Quick Machining Solutions was experiencing long-term and ongoing challenges with their previous coolant supplier. Local hard water conditions were affecting coolant stability, while tramp oil rejection, odour control and overall machine cleanliness were falling short of expectations.
The team was looking for a more stable coolant solution that could perform reliably in hard water environments and improve machine cleanliness.
The Chem Arrow Solution
After discussing the challenges with Chem Arrow Europe, a coolant solution was recommended that would deliver improved stability in hard water conditions while supporting cleaner machines and more consistent performance.
In addition to the product itself, Chem Arrow provides regular onsite service visits along with bacterial dip slide testing which ensure that the coolant remains in optimum condition. All results are logged online, giving Quick Machining Solutions a clear, traceable record of coolant health.
This ongoing monitoring supports HSE requirements and provides reassurance that the coolant remains stable, safe and well-maintained offering confidence to the operators working on the machines.
The Results: Cleaner Machines and Confident Operations
Since switching to Chem Arrow products, Quick Machining Solutions has seen noticeable improvements throughout the workshop.
"Machine cleanliness has improved significantly, with less residue and build-up around tooling and machining centres. The coolant remains clean and stable, allowing machines to be washed down easily without leaving marks or staining, an important factor when customers visit the facility. Tramp oil rejection has also improved, helping maintain coolant quality and reduce contamination. Operators have noticed a marked improvement in odour within the workshop, creating a more comfortable working environment. From a machining perspective, the new coolant has delivered improved surface finishes on components, while greater stability has helped reduce overall coolant usage."
“Since switching to Chem Arrow, the difference has been clear straight away. The machines are much cleaner, the coolant is more stable in our hard water and the workshop environment is noticeably better. The service has also been a big improvement, having someone available at the end of the phone when we need support makes a real difference.”
A Professional Finish, Backed by Reliable Support
Since making the switch, Quick Machining Solutions has benefited from cleaner machines, improved coolant stability and a more professional workshop environment, supported by responsive service and ongoing technical support from Chem Arrow Europe.
If you’re looking to improve coolant performance, workshop conditions or service reliability, Chem Arrow Europe can provide a tailored solution backed by expert support.
