LRS4.0
Dedicated system for coolant cleaning and recycling, extending fluid life and reducing disposal costs
LRS4.0
Automatic Coolant Recycling System
LRS4.0 is D&P Group’s automatic coolant recycling system designed to recover, treat, and reuse exhausted coolant from CNC machine sumps.
The system removes contaminants, separates tramp oils, reduces bacterial growth, and restores the main coolant parameters, helping manufacturers reduce disposal costs, water consumption, and environmental impact.
Product Overview
In modern machining processes, coolant gradually becomes contaminated by metal particles, tramp oils, sludge, bacteria, and process residues. If not properly managed, exhausted coolant can generate unpleasant odors, increase disposal costs, affect operator health, and create environmental issues.
The LRS4.0 has been engineered to improve industrial fluid management through an automated recycling process. It collects used coolant from individual CNC sumps and processes it through filtration, decanting, oil separation, disinfection, oxygenation, and parameter restoration.

Bacterial growth | Helps reduce biological contamination |
Key Benefits
Benefit | Operational Impact |
|---|---|
Reduced disposal costs | Less exhausted coolant sent to disposal |
Lower waste volume | Only solid waste and oily waste are separated and disposed |
Reduced water consumption | Treated coolant can be reused instead of fully replaced |
Improved workplace hygiene | Less odor and bacterial contamination |
Reduced storage space | Less space needed for exhausted coolant collection |
Lower maintenance labor | More automated fluid management |
Environmental improvement | Lower impact from coolant disposal and water use |
Sustainability support | Useful for companies pursuing environmental certifications and Agenda 2030 goals |
Waste Separation
The LRS4.0 process is designed to separate what cannot be reused from what can be recovered. Waste materials such as metal chips, powders, sludge, tramp oils, cutting oils, protectants, and other pollutants are collected in dedicated containers that can be emptied and sanitized.
Waste Type | Management Method |
|---|---|
Metal chips | Separated and collected |
Metal powders | Removed through filtration |
Sludge | Settled and removed |
Tramp oils | Separated through coalescence |
Hydrocarbons | Removed from coolant flow |
Cutting oils and protectants | Collected as oily waste |
Reusable coolant fraction | Treated and restored for reuse |
Sustainability
LRS4.0 supports a more sustainable approach to industrial coolant management by reducing disposal volumes, lowering water consumption, and improving waste separation. Since approximately 90 liters out of 100 liters of exhausted coolant can consist of water, proper treatment allows a significant portion of the fluid to be recovered instead of disposed of.
⚠️ Important Notice
LRS4.0 is not a water purification system.
It is an industrial coolant recycling system designed specifically for the treatment and reuse of metalworking fluids.
