Sorbent makeover provides a solution

A large machine shop in South Australia was looking to reduce expenses and clean up the work areas around milling machines, lathes and other ‘mess-producing’ equipment.


Before.

 After.

The historical method of dealing with spilt oil and cutting fluids using rags and ‘kitty litter’ was creating a never-ending job of cleaning up - which was not a job that staff exactly volunteered for. In addition to this, the weekly spend on rags and kitty litter was around $80.

The problem had been around as long as the machines themselves. The workshop manager agreed to trial sorbents by Spilldoktor. After a makeover with the help of the HRL5045 Sorbent roll, on a SDFD500 dispenser, the same workshop was transformed into a clean, safe and efficient environment for $105 per month.
