THE PROBLEM
Every fluid problem starts the same way
Oil and fine chips enter your process fluid with every part you wash, machine, or press. Filters and centrifuges will catch some of it. The rest stays in your tank and builds up cycle after cycle. Long before the fluid looks or smells spent, it is already costing you.
Parts fail cleanliness specs
Particles redeposit on parts and push residue past the limit.
Fluid changes happen often
Monthly or even weekly change-outs just to stay in spec.
Disposal costs climb
Pumps wear out early
Abrasive chips grind down high-pressure pump gaskets and plungers.
Inspection flags false defects
Leftover chips look like casting flaws to vision systems and stop the line.
Coolant starts to smell
Leftover chips look like casting flaws to vision systems and stop the line.
RESULTS AT A GLANCE
Proven across eight applications
JCC-HM has been installed by manufacturers to solve different problems across a range of applications. The results have something in common: cleaner fluid, measured results. Select an application to jump to that topic.
| Application | Installed on | The problem | The result | Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADC component washing | Washer dirty tank | Parts failed spec after one month of fluid use | Fluid changes cut from 12 to 4 per year | Fluid life |
| Hydraulic valve blocks (cast iron) | Washer dirty tank | No particles 0.3 mm or larger allowed on parts | Contamination cut from 33.5 to 3.55 mg/L | Quality |
| EV components | Washer clean tank | No particles 0.4 mm or larger; weekly fluid changes | Zero critical particles; fluid changes cut in half | Quality |
| Cast iron deburring | Washer dirty tank | High-pressure pump service every 3 months | Service interval extended to 12 months | Equipment |
| ADC parts with vision inspection | Washer clean tank | 30 false-defect line stops per day | Reduced to 5 stops per day | Quality |
| General machining | Machine coolant tank | Strong coolant odor on the shop floor | Odor improved within 36 hours | Environment |
| ADC machining, recovered coolant | Coolant recovery | 3,000 L of waste coolant per month | Reduced to 1,000 L per month | Waste |
| Pressed parts washing | Washer tank (300 L) | Sticky, oily parts and rewashing | 3× solution life; waste cut by two-thirds | Fluid life |

Hit tighter cleanliness specs, every shift
Your wash can only be as clean as the fluid it uses. When the solution is loaded with fines and oil, parts come out carrying them. JCC-HM keeps the fluid clean enough to meet strict particle limits and keep downstream processes running.

false defect stoppages
Fine chips left on cleaned die-cast parts looked like casting flaws to an automated vision system, stopping the line up to 30 times a day. With JCC-HM purifying the clean tank, stops fell to 5 a day, and operators spent less time checking good parts by hand.

No More
sticky, oily parts
Press oil built up in a parts washer until cleaned parts stuck together, complicating handling and counting and forcing rewashes. JCC-HM removed the oil continuously, so parts came out clean and separate. The same installation tripled solution life (see Fluid life & waste).
- Easier handling and counting
- Fewer rewashes and less rework labor
- Lower risk of customer complaints
FLUID LIFE & WASTE
Change fluid less. Dispose of less. Spend less.
Most shops change fluid as often as it gets dirty. Slow that down, and every change-out you skip saves fluid, labor, downtime, and disposal fees. Across four installations, the JCC-HM cut fluid changes or waste volume by half to two-thirds.
ADC component washing · Washer dirty tank
3x
longer fluid life
Oil and fines degraded the washing solution so quickly that parts failed spec after one month, forcing monthly change-outs at about $1,000 per machine. With JCC-HM, the solution stayed in spec for about three months, cutting changes from 12 to 4 a year and saving roughly $8,000 per machine annually.
EV components washing · Washer clean tank
$13,125
saved per year
Weekly fluid changes kept this EV parts washer in spec but drove up labor and fluid costs. JCC-HM stretched the interval to every two weeks, eliminating 25 change-outs a year at $525 each.
ADC machining · Recovered coolant
67%
less waster coolant
Pressed parts washing · Washer tank (300 L)
$26,220
saved per year
Ten press lines were discarding about 3,000 L of oily cleaning solution each month. JCC-HM tripled solution life, cutting waste to 1,000 L and disposal costs from $3,255 to $1,070 a month.
EQUIPMENT & ENVIRONMENT
Easier on machines, and people.
Contaminated fluid doesn't just affect parts. Abrasive chips wear out pumps, and oily, oxygen-starved coolant breeds odor-causing bacteria. JCC-HM addresses both.
Cast iron deburring · High-pressure pump
Protect your pumps

LONGER maintenance interval

LONGER annual maintenance cost
A shop deburring cast iron parts was rebuilding its high-pressure pump about every three months. Metal chips and brush-wear particles in the solution were grinding down gaskets and plungers. With JCC-HM removing those abrasives, the pump reached its service threshold only after about 12 months.

IS JCC-HM RIGHT FOR YOUR APPLICATION?
If you check two or more on this list, let's talk.
You change washing fluid or coolant more often than every three months.
Parts are failing cleanliness or residual-particle specs.
You pay to haul away waste coolant or cleaning solution every month.
High-pressure pumps need rebuilding more than once a year.
Vision inspection flags chips or debris as defects.
Coolant smells, or operators complain about the work environment.
Filters or cartridges are a recurring line item.
